Pre-Match Chat - Crewe Alexandra Fan
By Deadly Submarine
October 22 2008
After a brief absence in recent weeks, our Fanfile section returns this week with two interviews with Crewe Alexandra and Stockport County fans ahead of Rovers next two League matches. First up is Crewe Fan Steve Davies who has concerns over his side's Manager and an axe to grind with Calvin Zola......
What is you name and for how long have you supported Crewe Alexandra?
My name is Steve Davies and I've been a season ticket holder for 16 years.
EDITORS NOTE - As far as we are aware this isn't the ex-Tranmere Player Steve Davies or indeed the snooker player!
ABOUT YOUR CLUB
What is your most memorable Crewe Alexandra moment or match?
Got to be Wembley '97 when we first got promotion to the old Division 1. Any victory over Stoke or VBle is always nice and we did beat forest 3-1 a few years back which sticks out and even Dario (Gradi) said it was the best performance he had seen from us
Your worst moment supporting Crewe Alexandra?
After so many good years probably right now. The crowds we get aren't great and we are so unpredictable.
In your eyes who is Crewe Alexandra's All-Time Greatest Player and why?
Dean Ashton is the best player to wear a Crewe shirt in my eyes. He had everything and as you see he can do it in the Premiership when he isn't injured.
Taxi For? (To which Player would you pay a Taxi Fare to leave the Club?)
Ben Rix been at the Alex too long and when he plays isn't very good. Also Calvin Zola! You must be laughing at the £200k we give you for him he is awful.
Which Crewe Alexandra player can do most damage to Tranmere Rovers on Friday?
Michael O'Connor has been our best player this season. He gets around the midfield and is our Steven Gerrard.
Is Steve Holland the right man to get Crewe Alexandra out of League One?
Yeah but at the wrong end!! Good Coach, bad Manager. His record is awful and he must go.
Any Crewe Alexandra Chants we should try to listen out for at the game?
Holland Out!!!
LEAGUE ONE VIEWS
What is your Top Two Prediction for League One this season?
Leicester are looking good and I hate to say it but Leeds too.
Play-Off Winners?
Hard to tell because usually the play-off winners have a good run of form near the end of the season like Donny last year but i will plump for Brighton.
Your tip for the Bottom Four places?
Hereford, Yeovil, Cheltenham and unless Holland leaves or something changes then us as well.
THE TWO CLUBS
Where do you think Crewe Alexandra will finish this season?
See above.
Do you think Tranmere will be Promoted/Relegated from League One and why?
Probably mid-table. Too strong to go down but not strong enough to go up.
What are your early opinions of our former Striker Calvin Zola and what do to other Crewe Fans think of him?
Awful!! Ronnie Moore must be laughing his socks off at us giving you £200k for him. He is injury prone and when he does play he is not very good and that is being generous. He is hardly prolific is he?
What is your Prediction for Friday's game between the sides and do you think it will be as dull as the recent Johnstone's Paint Trophy game between the teams?
Well we haven't won away from home all season and I think the last time we won at Prenton Park was in 2000 so its not looking good. I can only see one winner - Tranmere 3 Crewe 0.
Thanks very much for your time and enjoy the game (but not too much) and good luck for the rest of the Season after Friday.
i think we need a big win 3/4-0 get our goal differance up and get us scoring at home
GRAVY
So Zola gonna be moving on again soon
Should of asked about Chris McCready!
