Matty Tubbs went Bournemouth but never got going, did he? Wish he never left. Sadly at Rotherham with a bunch of ex-Crawley staff and players (latest of which is former Crawley skipper Pablo Mills).

Yeah it has been unfortunate for Tubbsy. As with Spurs you kinda will on the local lads that little bit harder but if they don't get the breaks or the confidence then it's always a struggle.
Still on the books of Bmth so if he can get some form going whilst out on loan, always a chance. Has a big task getting into the Bmth team now as they've just smashed their transfer record on a striker from Malmo (Tokelo Rantie) plus still have Pitman, Grabban and Thomas all fighting for places.

Such a shame to see Tubbsy go. Legend down these parts. Got to a play a game of FIFA with him too (we drew 0-0). Was also at his last game for the club vs Hull in the FA Cup. There were rumors of him coming back to Crawley, which would have been brilliant. Unfortunately he went with Evans and players his very friendly with.

I actually really miss that squad. So much spirit and fight which got the promotions and those two magical cup runs.

No longer the Broadfield stadium. What is it? I hear nobody ask!

The Checkatrade.com stadium. Not sure about that, really.

That's ... just terrible. Website adresses shouldn't be in a stadium name. Checkatrade stadium is still weird but not quite as bad.

In terms of money and coverage for the club it's great. But, I hate the name change of the ground. Will always be Broadfield to me.

Being an international weekend it was a great chance to see Crawley after the last few performances and my word the second half was action packed! 5 goals, 2 reds, 1 penalty and 6 minutes added on at the end. Could have seen more goals and reds also. The football league has some of the most entertaining action IMO. Some of the football played was pretty nice to watch as well.
