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.
17. Notts County – 346-mile round trip
Play at The Meadow Lane Stadium; Finished 6th in league 2 (lost in the playoffs to AFC Wimbledon) Crawley’s record in all comps – Won 4, lost 10, drawn 3 Crawley’s away record – Won 1, lost 7, drawn 1 Crawley’s record at Meadow Lane is not great – with one win in nine visits. In the promotion season, the Reds played Notts County three times, two defeats away (one in the FA Cup), with the home game, in March 2024, saw the Reds 2-1, the goals coming from Klaidi Lolos and Ade Adeyemo.
