Crawley Town fans will this weekend take direct action in protest against club owners the Majeeds.

Season ticket holder Sam Jordan, 18, wants dozens of fans to turn out for a demonstration outside the Majeeds' other businesses in Crawley on Friday and Saturday evenings.

Mr Jordan, a supervisor at Asda, said: "I've been planning this for a while because I am disgusted at what has happened to the club under the stewardship of Azwar and Chas Majeed.

"The supporters trust has been asking me to hold off and I did. But last week I gave the Majeeds seven days to leave the club.

"They are still there so we will be protesting outside the Ja Ja Bar, Bar Lusso, Cubana restaurant and their new hairdresser's in the High Street.

"We want to make as many people as possible aware of what they have done to our club and ask them to reconsider spending money at the Majeeds' other businesses."

Mr Jordan and a growing band of like-minded fans will wave placards and hand posters to passers-by explaining why they are protesting.

Crawley Town went into administration two weeks ago with debts totalling £1.1 million.

Some £400,000 is owed to the Inland Revenue, players, former staff and other suppliers while the Majeeds claim they are entitled to claim back £700,000 they say they have invested in the Nationwide Conference club.

Players were called to a meeting with administrators Begbies Traynor on Monday and offered three weeks' wages. None has been paid their salaries since April or their bonuses since January.

The Majeeds claim the club's financial problems began when an unnamed investor withdrew funding due to the team's poor league form.

An investigation by The Argus revealed chairman Chas Majeed was a bankrupt.

Information received by The Argus this week revealed creditors would be asked to vote on a financial rescue package which will mean they are paid just a quarter of what they are owed.

If at least half of them refuse, Begbies Traynor could be forced to sell the club to the highest bidder.

Mr Jordan said: "We want the Majeeds out of our club and it's up to all fans to make that clear to them."

The Majeeds were unavailable for comment.
