Johnson, who is also co-chairman, has been in the UK for a couple of weeks now but has been advised not to go to games. And when he is spotted at the ground today he will be expecting some stick from some Reds fans.

A lot of fans have been chanting ‘WAGMI OUT’ all season before, during and after games and Johnson himself has received threats. But Johnson has asked them to focus on the team during the 90 minutes of the match.

Johnson posted on Instagram: “About to head to Broadfield for the final @officialcrawleytownfc home match of the season. Chant and call me a w****r all you want before kickoff, at halftime and after it ends, but the lads don’t deserve it during the 90 #COYR”

Crawley fans have been angered throughout the season after a series of decisions like manager appointments and players sold.
