26 key questions Crawley Town fans want answered by owners WAGMI United for including update on CEO search, what lessons they have learnt and will the manager have a say on summer transfers

Fortunately it ended with Football League status secured for at least another season – but there are a lot of questions to be answered as we enter what will inevitably be a busy summer for owners WAGMI United and manager Scott Lindsey.

This season has seen numerous managerial changes, experienced and popular players leave the club, season ticket prices dropped, a director of football (and interim CEO) come and go and some promises from the owners not kept.

There has been a lack of communication between WAGMI United and the fans – especially as the season has gone on – and particularly between them and the Crawley Town Supporters’ Alliance (CTSA). The CTSA this week demanded answers from WAGMI about the ownership group – you can read the full story here.

So we asked Crawley Town fans what are the key questions they want answer for from the owners as we enter what will be a crucial summer for the club. We asked them to contribute on Twitter and on the Crawley Town FC Supporters Group and the CTFC – For Fans of Crawley Town Facebook groups.

There were a lot of overlap with people’s questions so this is a summary of the main topics the fans want answers on – – we have published the names of everyone who contributed with questions at the bottom of the story. We have sent these questions to Preston Johnson.
