Some will say they are non league so who cares. That opinion has to be respected.
But some will say they hate them. A lot has been made of Oxford fans preferring Luton to go up over Crawley as Crawley are big spenders who dont deserve to go up.
But personally, id perfer Crawley to go up over Luton anyday as i hate Luton.
Where do you stand?

Luton everytime.
Hate them, but sure makes for two cracking atmospheres in a season.
Luton to bring 1500 here, or Crawley to bring 15...
Tell me you didn't enjoy the atmosphere when we played Luton....

Neither!
But if I was tied to a rack and had to make a choice then it would be Luton for the same reasons as Wright for England.
I hate Luton but I also hate teams who try to buy their way to success when they have such small crowds. I don't agree with the people who say that all clubs deserve success when they achieve it. I also hated the amount of debt our club built up whilst trying to buy its way out of the Conference and was pleased that we finally did it and broke even.

I'd most like Wimbledon to go up, with Crawley losing in the play off semis and Luton losing at Wembley.

Luton are a proper club. Crawley are a sunday league side.

I'd like Luton to have a couple more seasons down there to be honest.

I fear I am becoming something of a pedant about this! Luton have history and a reasonable support base. The town may be shite, but the supporters, to their credit have pretty much stayed with them as we did during our visit to the hell that is the Conference. I cannot for the life of me understand the economics at Crawley. The struggle to get 2,000 spectators to a game. Football in West Sussex has the mass appeal of synchronised swimming in the sahara! Crawley have a great squad on paper and have added quality players to it. I do not see how they can sustain the investment in the club/squad unless there is a seismic shift in the football watching habits of the natives.

I meant to add that I want Wimbledon to get promoted and Crawley and Luton to get dumped in the play off semis!

AFC Wimbledon to win it and Newport (or anybody other than Luton or Crawley) to win the play-offs please. I also wouldn't write off Fleetwood as they will have more money to spend, no doubt. Also, Grimsby are starting to find some form and may be the team that makes a charge from mid-table from Christmas onwards.
But if it has to be between Luton and Crawley then Luton just nick it as both are horrible clubs for different reasons. Crawley for Steve Evans/Raynor management team which trumps Luton for their supporters and going through somebody's garden into that horrible away end.

Crawley ahead of Luton every time. On the basis you'd just want big clubs with big fan bases then clubs must have hated us when we made it to the top flight. I think the likes of Blackpool in the Premiership is refreshing and if Crawley do make it and take their attacking philosophy into League 2 then they will be a welcome addition.
I'd keep Luton in the BSP for ever more if I could.

"I'd keep Luton in the BSP for ever more if I could". echo that Seconded! (although as a Watford as well as Oxford fan I may be a tad biased!  ) As for gottagetbetta's earlier post re Sussex crowds, Crawley may suffer even more once Brighton to Falmer move next season. They're flying (5-0 on Saturday) and have been hampered financally by the limited capacity of the Withdean. If you were marooned in Sussex (and weren't an Oxford fan!) would you rather see Championship football in a decent modern stadium or tinpot Sunday League stuff at Crawley? |

"synchronised swimming in the sahara!" I don't think it would be possible to stage synchronized swimming in the Sahara so how do you know how popular it would be?

If its a case between the two games we had against Luton last season in front of big passionate crowds with an electric atmosphere or the games we had against Crawley which were fairly typical of the games we had in the conference of dull, flat atmospheres I am going to go with Luton. Them and Wimbledon will add to this league while Crawley will give us another game no one looks for on the fixture list.
The fact that some on here still dislike Luton is probably evidence that there is an appetite for that fixture.
