Crawley Town is sending a scout to The Sidemen Charity Football Match this weekend, which will feature influencers, including KSI and Logan Paul. The club, currently in 20th place in League Two, is looking to make additions to their squad before their first FA Cup match. Co-chairman Preston Johnson stated that the club is excited about partnering with The Sidemen and the opportunity to scout their charity match to potentially identify quality footballers. Head coach Kevin Betsy emphasized that any new recruits would only play if the first-round FA Cup match was already well in hand. The Sidemen have 130 million followers on YouTube combined, and Crawley Town is willing to sign online influencers as part of their strategy to be 'The Internet’s Team'. The club faces Doncaster on Saturday, and their FA Cup first-round opponents have not been drawn yet. The desire to tap into social media and pop culture to promote a club is not new, with Wrexham perhaps the best example. Crawley Town's owners are looking to think outside the box to improve their team's performance. The scout will be looking for talented players who can make an immediate impact. The club's fans will be eager to see if this unconventional approach pays off. And with the FA Cup match looming, the pressure is on to find the right players. The Sidemen Charity Football Match will take place on the weekend of Saturday November 5, and Crawley Town will be watching closely.
