Sussex Spook-tacular

By Jack Hayward

Before I proceed to tell you all about the vast range of ‘Spook-tacular’ events going on in Sussex this week I will confess that I am not exactly enthusiastic about the whole ‘Trick-or-Treat’ fest, so apologies if some of my own negativity decides to creep in.

Never one for negativity though (ahem), I have compiled a list of some of the hotspots for local Halloween fun for all those out there who do have a penchant for throwing eggs at houses, terrorising grannies and more generally those who enjoy dressing up in ridiculous outfits all in the name of blood, guts, gore and horror.

Enough of my own personal cynicism, here are some suggestions of where to go and what to do this week if you are of a more haunted persuasion…

Crawley in with real chance of promotion

By Paul Healey

Division Two side Crawley have ex-Brighton goalie Michael Kuipers to thank for their latest clean sheet, and are now in the play-offs by a clear distance and with games in hand.

Do they have what it takes to achieve back-to-back promotions? It certainly looks that way. Two wins and three draws gives them the best form of all the top teams second only to Crewe who are in eight.

Their next matches are away to Bradford, Burton Albion, Barnet, Dagenham & Reds, with the final game against Accrington. But there are home games against Rotherham, Crewe, Wimbledon, Northampton and Hereford. These means they do not have to play any of the teams in the top seven in the run-in to the end of the season.

It looks very bright for the The Reds at the moment.  If not champions, then second or third place is entirely achievable.
