Crewe Alexandra

Post by 32mile_cul-de-sac » Tue Feb 18, 2025 1:43 pm

Another awayday this time to Crewe, can Barrow finally find that elusive win away and keep us away from the relegation fight. We need more points so come Barrow sort it out and get us that win. Crewe 12 points better off than Barrow and occupy the final playoff place at present but have failed to win in there last 6 outings so boast no form of late. A good time to play them?

Perfect time to play them. Gather they have quite a few out injured and had a defender sent off last weekend who will be suspended. Complacency will be our biggest enemy but hopefully what happened at Cheltenham will focus their minds.

Shame to hear trust bus cancelled for Crewe match due to lack of interest, yet again early kick-Off and Sky ruined it for many.

Would be interesting to know the clubs thoughts on how the sky deal has affected them this year.
A question for the upcoming fans forum perhaps

If Sky have ruined it for the fans it won't matter one iota-as long as the clubs are getting good money out of the deal. And that's the rub......when clubs go fiscally belly up, who is it the clubs turn to-the fans!

But it’s not a good deal for EFL2 clubs it’s an extra £79k a season compared to the previous deal. I would hardly call it good money more like. crumbs off the table
Deal details in link below previous sky deal was £300k a year for EFL 2 clubs

A full GMV bus is still going, and we’ve been able to take a few of the Trust travellers to help them out.

It’s a shame as the early KO seems to have put a lot off travelling.
We didn't underestimate them, we just didn't think they were that good.

Yes Sky comes at a cost for us fans. The train is viable alternative so see you there 😀
Just say no to VAR :sentoff:

It was basically to replace the income generated by iFollow

A lot of clubs weren’t happy with the fact that with iFollow it was possible for a club with a bigger fanbase to generate more income for a midweek away game than the home club due to the money from iFollow purchases going to the club who sold the pass - and also taking into consideration the income lost out on due to dodgy sticks etc

So they took that option away (bar for overseas residents) and gave every club a lump sum

Easy one to get to on trains, plus the fact we are crap results wise away! If we were in the play offs a bus would be going regardless of kick off time let’s be honest, would be more interest

Maybe plenty letting the train take the strain?

Yes the train cost is only £10 return if you have access to the Northern Trains newspaper offer.

Personally think some will be sticking two fingers up to Crewe,for the outrageous cost of tickets for supporters,cannot believe they are allowed to charge £28 a ticket, even more annoying having just read that premier league clubs, have capped tickets for away supporters to £30.
