Bloody hell i was thinking Crawley Town were a small conference team but my god how Crawley spending has changed my opinion.
Signing player like Matty Tubbs lets face the fact most league two temas wont spend that much cash on player's this summertime.
And just spent 100,000 on that Peterboro winger i bet Peterboro were laughting there heads off when they saw that bid.
I know money never turns you into a top team but Crawley should aim for playoffs now

What was the transfer fee?

anyone know how much our transfer record payment is

Think Matty went for 120,000 and the signing today was 100,000 and this player was at Lincoin last season on loan

For a long, long time and a good many years it was the £7500 paid to Fleetwood Town for Cainy. Now, I think, it was an "undisclosed" for Carl Baker ? I could be wrong though.

I can only see this Crawley thing going belly up for them. Again. It was only a couple of years ago they had those brothers at the helm (the Majeeds was it or something like??) who threw loads of money in and promises of this, that and the other and that went sour for the club.

The below from Wikipedia ........

It was revealed by The Argus several days later that the Chairman Chas Majeed was an undischarged bankrupt and therefore banned from holding a high position within the club.[10]. Majeed later resigned from his post but remained on in some capacity.

The Reds fans started a "Red Card" campaign in order to remove Chas Majeed and his owner brother Azwar Majeed from the club. It was revealed that the club owed around £1.1million with nearly £400,000 owed to HM Revenue and Customs, and the Majeeds claimed they were owed £700,000 by the club.

By July of that year it was revealed that the debts were closer to £1.4 million, including money owed to current and former staff, and an offer of 25 pence in the pound was rejected by the creditors.

Obviously, I hope it doesn't go t*ts up. We actually had a link up with Crawley fans back in the mid 90's that John Taylor, Kipps and others were instrumental in setting up.

That would have been broken with Steve Walters when we signed him from Northwich but will have been broken since then with Baker and Duffy I would imagine.

They have just paid in excess of £100K for Torres
