Well according to the local papers, The town was buzzing in anticipation for the visit of the Chelsea XI. Where they got that info from I haven't got a clue.
Fans were told for months about the massive crowd due and tickets almost sold out, Even told at a fans forum a month ago that Tickets were selling well. Most fans didn't buy it, and come saturday afternoon they were proved right. As I expected no where near a sell out, Just 2300 turned up to watch the game. Massive dissapointment for the club after all the, quite honestly crap hype they span on it.
As for the game, It was fairly even both teams playing passing football. Sadly Premiership football still showed at the ground with our boys not being able to tackle a Blue shirt without a foul being given, But Chelsea players being able to get away with some quite nasty tackles.
I can't really explain much about the goals, I can't remember them due to enjoying more of a happier atmosphere behind the goal with our group. A decent atmosphere on a rather boring pre season day.
Although the most important fact of the day, Crawley are back !
