They will travel a total of 8156 miles over the course of the 23 away games, at an average round trip of 355 miles, which they will hope sees the team gain promotion back to League One.
I have taken a look at Crawley’s opposition ahead of the new season – including the round trip in miles and head-to-head record – before the fixtures are released at 12pm on Thursday, June 26.
9. Colchester United – 184-mile round trip
Play at the Jobserve Community Stadium; Finished 10th last season Crawley’s record in all comps – Won 11, lost 5, drawn 8 Crawley’s away record – Won 4, lost 2, drawn 5 The Reds last trip to Colchester saw them win 2-1 in December 2023, with Liam Kelly and Danilo Orsi scoring the goals. However, the home fixture in April 2024 put a slight dent into Crawley’s playoff hopes at that time, as the Reds lost 3-2, with goals from Klaidi Lolos and Harry Forster. Photo: Alex Pantling
10. Crewe Alexandra – 420-mile round trip
Play at Gresty Road; Finished 13th last season Crawley’s record in all comps – Won 4, lost 12, drawn 5 Crawley’s away record – Won 1, lost 7, drawn 2 Crawley lost both league games against Crewe in the 2023/24 season, losing 1-0 at Gresty Road in February 2024, and 2-4 at the Broadfield Stadium. Crawley’s goal came from Klaidi Lolos and Ronan Darcy. The two sides would meet one more time that season…I think we all know the result of that game. Photo: Nathan Stirk
