About this site
This is an independent, unofficial guide to the history of Crewe Alexandra and to visiting the town on a matchday. It is written as a reference for readers, not as a publication of the club.
Independent and unofficial
This site is not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to Crewe Alexandra Football Club, its owners or its staff. The club's name appears only to describe the subject of the guide. We do not use the club crest or any official artwork, and nothing here should be read as a statement from the club.
What the guide covers
We write about four things that change slowly: the history of the club, the railway town that gave it its nickname, the ground at Gresty Road, and the practical business of getting to a match by train. The aim is a calm, readable reference for anyone curious about the club, whether you are a long-standing supporter or a visitor who has just heard of the Railwaymen.
How we handle facts
We include only well-established facts that can be checked against encyclopaedic and official sources. We leave out squads, results, transfers, fixtures and ticket prices, because they go out of date quickly and the club publishes them better than we could. Where something may change, such as stand names under sponsorship deals, the text says so and points you to the official sources.
A note on errors
History is easy to get slightly wrong. If you notice a detail that does not match the club's own records or a reliable reference work, trust those sources over this page.
