Last season, I took a picture on my phone of their 'team minibus', parked at the back of the South Stand.

I'm at the game with my derby supporting friend. Tubbs is pretty useful. Derby look shocking. Whole 45 mins to go, however.

Nice to see Bully playing again.

Crawley look very impressive especially with their work rate and desire
allied to their good footballing ability. They murdered Derby in the first half.

They signed three last week and have signed another two today.

And still Jamie Cook gets a little look in.

They say you have to speculate to accumulate! I wonder if they're close to making a profit yet?

I was thinking more along the lines of tv and prize money.

They do have the advantage that the Council own the ground. I expect the rent they pay is a lot less than the Kassam Stadium

What do you mean expect .... have you ever been anywhere near the Broadfield Stadium. If you had you might just have noticed that it ain't quite as big as the Kassam stadium. Which might just have some little influence on what the going rate for the rent is.
