History/Background

Crawley Rugby Football Club was founded in 1950. The club first played games at West Green Playing Fields up until 1993 when they moved to their current ground at Willoughby Fields.[3]

On 10 April 2010 Crawley were crowned League Champions of Sussex 1 and went on to be promoted into London 3 South East. After a 2010-11 difficult season, with 5 wins out of 22 games, Crawley was relegated back to the Sussex Intermediate League with a positive outlook to restructure the club and appoint a new chairman, after it was announced that Tony Smith, who had held the position for 14 years, resigned.[4][5]

As well as running a wide range of rugby clubs involving both junior and senior players, Crawley has in the past provided a home ground for the Sussex Swans Australian Rules Football team.

gollark: You have to do something ridiculous like brute-force all universes/timelines consistent with your specs.
gollark: This is kind of tricky to reason about since obviously time travel breaks causality, which means we can't really ask "given some universe state, what happens next", but still.
gollark: Sophonts are defined as nondeterministic in some way, right? Presumably you could, though, force them to make a particular decision by making it the only consistent one. Or does the universe just proactively not allow that kind of situation?
gollark: Vaguely relatedly, how do the self-consistency things interact with the universe's enforced free will?
gollark: The simplest self-consistent result of any form of time travel existing is that you just never use it ever.
