Crawley Town have been in preliminary talks about building a brand new stadium for the club. However, the club has emphasised that no contact had been made with Crawley Borough Council and no site had yet been identified.
The talks are still at a very early and informal stage and multi-million pound investment would need to be found to bankroll the exciting venture. Reds currently play their home matches at the council-owned Checkatrade.com Stadium after moving from Town Mead, their home for 48 years, in 1997. Crawley is a former new town and home to Gatwick Airport.

The capacity is close to 6,000 and there have been long-standing problems with the pitch, not helped by the deluge of rain which had seen two matches in January postponed, against Wolves and then last Saturday against Stevenage.
