Crowd of 505 No taking of the knee (or any other political statement) About 80 terrace STH looking lost and a couple of stewards acting as car park attendants/park your back side on a seat attendants Redz unusually quiet, no scotch eggs on the menu Hand driers in West Stand Gents not working or maybe turned off due to fear of spreading covid, no one really knows Lots of empty seats and huge gaps on the terraces apart from a few stewards really to catch any flying balls John Yems can be heard clearly from all corners of the ground No Red Santa hats on show but a few red scarves and plenty of masks Lots of people waving their arms about saying hello to fellow fans that have moved a few feet away to socially distance A few hundred smiling faces and a few hundred more (we won't be 100% sure as they'll still have their masks on) as Crawley take to the pitch A somewhat surreal, joyful, sad and strange feeling being back playing a L2 match in front of so few fans Plenty of noise, cheers, hand clapping and shouts of "Come on You Reds" 9 goals, of which Crawley score more than Barrow to win 5-4
With only a few hundred fans coming I would expect the club to handle this without any long queues getting on for starters! No idea on the score perhaps a narrow Reds win and given our defending I wouldn't argue with the need to score quite a few goals to win this one maybe 4-3

Anyone remember us playing them in Conference days? They had a good few hundred there, given the 500 mile round trip or whatever it is. We beat them 4-0 but I can remember their fans staying in impressively good voice.
Anyway, Saturday I predict a buzzing but slightly chaotic Redz, everybody sticking to the rules - and a 3-0 home win.

I think I recall beating them 3-2 with Pablo Mills scoring a late winner - but memory fuzzy so might have that wrong.
