STADIUM ADDRESS

Broadfield Stadium

Winfield Way

Crawley

West Sussex

RH11 9RX

ABOUT THE GROUND

The Red Devils have played at Broadfield Stadium since it was opened in 1997, after moving from their old Town Mead ground.

It is dominated by the smart looking West Stand on one side. The all-seated stand is raised above pitch level, meaning supporters have to climb a small flight of stairs to enter the seated area.

The stadium perimeter is surrounded on two sides by a number of trees, offering a rural look to the ground.

CAR PARKING

There is a car park at the stadium, but this only houses 350 cars and costs £5.

There are another 350 spaces located in the nearby Broadfield Business Park, which is only a five-minute walk from the stadium, and it is free to park here.

There are 90 spaces at the Tilgate Forest Business Centre, which is roughly a 1km distance from the ground, and is also free.

ENTERTAINMENT AND REFRESHMENTS

To drink: 

There is a bar at the stadium at the back of the Bruce Winfield Stand called the “Redz Bar”, which allows in away fans before (but not after) the game.

The closest pub to the stadium is the New Moon on Brighton Road, which is a five-minute walk from the stadium, going towards the town centre.

Another pub in close proximity to the stadium is The Downsman, which is on Lakehurst Drive, just off Southgate Avenue.

To eat:

There is not much in the way of eating outlets close to the Broadfield Stadium. 

The ground itself has an extensive matchday menu, which sees traditional items such as burgers and chips joined by more unique choices such as chicken wings, cheese and bacon loaded fries, and cheesecake.

Near the train station, which is a 30-minute walk from the stadium, is a variety of popular food chains such as McDonald's and Harvester.

GETTING THERE

By car:

From the M25, take the M23 Southbound towards Gatwick Airport and Brighton.

Exit the M23 at the Pease Pottage, junction 11. Take the third exit and the ground is on your left at the bottom of Brighton Road.

The ground is a little obscured by tress, so look for the large red and white football on the roundabout itself, and you will see the stadium entrance. 

Turn left at the roundabout and then left again for the stadium car park.

By train:

Crawley Railway Station is just over a mile away from the Broadfield Stadium. 

You can either take a taxi or from the bus station across the road, you can take a Fastway number 10 bus to the ground, which runs every 10 minutes.

Otherwise, it is a half-hour walk to the ground. As you come out of the station, turn left and walk down to the T-junction. At the junction, turn left into Brighton Road.

Keep walking straight down Brighton Road for just under a mile and turn right, and the stadium will appear.

PYROTECHNICS & BEHAVIOUR

The club would like to remind supporters the possession or use of pyrotechnics inside a football ground is strictly prohibited. Those found to be carrying or using pyrotechnics will face a long-term ban.

We would like to remind supporters it is a criminal offence to enter the pitch at any time. Anyone who does so without permission can expect to face prosecution.

The club recently outlined its stance on pyrotechnics following an incident during this season's trip to Mansfield Town, in a statement. This can be read HERE

Supporters are also reminded to remain courteous when inside the stadium, with regards to foul and abusive language. If you do hear anything offensive while inside the stadium, please report it to your nearest steward. 

WEATHER

Travelling City supporters should prepare for a cloudy afternoon in Crawley, with highs of 13°C expected. Sunny intervals are forecast, with the chance of rain at 25%.
