BELIEVE IT OR not, but the football season is back in just two weeks and Crawley Town, newly promoted from the Blue Square Premier (the Conference to you and I), kick off their campaign in League Two away at Port Vale in the Potteries. So what, I here you cry? Well, Crawley Town (described last season as the Manchester City of non-league football) are now sponsored – by way of a six-figure deal – by local parcel firm GFS.
GFS has its headquarters at Billingshurst, West Sussex, less than 15 miles from Crawley Town’s Broadfield Stadium ground. GFS will hope Crawley have the chops to stay in League Two, as it has signed the deal for the next two years. One thing both parties can look forward to is a patronising visit from BBC lower league specialist Mark ‘Clem’ Clemmit.
