5th March 2025

The Crawley Town Supporters Alliance (CTSA) has expressed its disappointment over the lack of response from the club’s leadership following a recent members’ poll regarding the ownership of Crawley Town Football Club.

After conducting the poll, the CTSA reached out to club chairman Preston Johnson and vice chairman Ben Levin on 21st February 2025, and again on 2nd March 2025, to discuss the feedback provided by members and explore potential improvements. However, the CTSA has received no response from either club official.

In a statement released by the CTSA, the supporters’ group criticised the apparent unwillingness of the club’s leadership to engage with fans or address concerns raised in the survey.

START

“Following the Crawley Town Supporters Alliance members’ poll regarding opinions on the current ownership of Crawley Town Football club, we contacted chairman Preston Johnson and vice chairman Ben Levin on 21st February 2025 and again on 2nd March 2025 requesting to discuss the poll’s comments and work on suggested improvements. We have had no reply.

We are disappointed that the club’s leadership team does not appear to be interested in attempting to understand the reasons behind the CTSA members’ views. They also do not appear to be interested in engaging with the official supporters’ representative body, or engaging in constructive talks to decide how to improve the two-way relationship between the club and its supporters. If the club’s leadership team will not listen to supporters’ feedback, the CTSA would like to express their desire for WAGMI United to employ a leadership team with professional football experience. Failing this, the sale of Crawley Town FC at the earliest opportunity.

We will continue to support the club’s football management team and playing squad and encourage all of our members to do so at this important time of the season.”

END

Despite their concerns, the CTSA reiterated its continued support for the club’s football management team and playing squad and encouraged all members to back the team as the season progresses.
