Certenally not trainable. If you seriously take the train probs best to get of at Haywards Heath and either catch a bus or a taxi.
Driving is the most likley way of getting there in my view.

You can do it by train and bus but it is hard - Train to Haywards Heath and 82 bus to Crawley Down Village; problem is getting back - you would have to get a bus to Three Bridges and then trains. Not easy. www.travelinesoutheast.org.uk/(Crawley Down FC play at the Haven Centre Sportsfield, Hophurst Lane, Crawley Down, RH10 4LJ) Shame

I have never been to Crawley Down. So I had a look on Google maps. If you look at the ground on satellite view there appears to be no cover for spectators whatsoever.
So if it looks like rain...... go prepared.

Ironically, just back from our game at Crawley Down.
Do not (like me) assume it is a suburb of Crawley. It isn't! A long way from the railway with driving the only feasible option. It does look VERY unmpromising as you drive into the village but rest assured, there is a ground there with plenty of parking. It is basically a community hub. There is cover at the ground - a stand alongside one side of the pitch opposite the dugouts and a very small amount of cover behind one of the goals.
It must be added that the ground is impeccably well kept, the people there unfailingly polite and helpful and the food is decent. You also get your tea IN A MUG. Which is awesome.
The only blight on my evening was that John Maggs is currently helping out there/waiting in the wings to take over from their current manager subject to your opinion.
So I'd recommend it.

Porkpie's website is superb (especially the animate graphic - very funny) - shows how hard it is to get by public transport to a lot of grounds - Crawley Down is doable as bus stop outside the ground - but not easy. I have never heard of the place!

Yes it would be nice to know who will profit from this sell-off. Not "owners" apparently.

If I had seen David Arnold's invitation of a lift earlier, I would have have accepted. Please let us know the FT score. Nice to see Jamie Cade back.
