  Crewe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Crewe is a large town in south Cheshire, in the north west of England.
Crewe is perhaps best known for its association with the railway industry, being a major junction and once home to a bustling railway works.
Crewe did not come to prominence until the 1830s, when the Grand Junction Railway company chose it as the site for its locomotive works (known in the surrounding area simply as Crewe Works), following the thwarting by local landowners of its original plan to locate four miles away in Nantwich.

Crewe started the season well however they found it difficult playing away from home and there away form led to them being unable to climb the table.

 The Observer | Sport | Championship: Ipswich 5 - 1 Crewe Alexandra
Crewe's defeat means they slip into the relegation zone and must beat Coventry next Sunday to have any chance of overtaking either Gillingham or Brighton, who both have more points.
While relegation would be costly for Crewe, it cannot match the millions that Ipswich would miss out on by failing to return to the Premiership, although they could still go up through the play-offs.
Crewe's downbeat mood was in stark contrast to that of the Ipswich fans, whose day was made complete when news was announced of the late Southampton goal that defeated Norwich.

Crewe could not overcome a resilient Cobblers team and the game ended quite correctly in a 3-3 draw.

On this trip and previous visits to the home of Crewe, the fans sat at this end have always been very supportive of their side whatever the score, and provide good evidence that the loss of terracing does not have to mean the loss of atmosphere.

Whitehead galloped into the Crewe area and although he followed Elliott's lead by shooting across rather than into the goal, Sunderland had livened up.
Crewe managed to make it a nervous finish in injury-time and, had skipper Kenny Lunt showed a little more composure, he might at the very least have forced Myhre to save one of two dangerously-positioned free-kicks.
The second of those was made more dangerous still when Wright lambasted the referee and caused the ball to be moved to the edge of the penalty area.

 leedsfans.org.uk: Crewe Alexandra 2 - 2 Leeds United - 18/09/2004
Half-time I decided to not follow half the Leeds fans in having a piss behind the toilets and actually wait to go inside, a good decision as by the time I came out the police were rounding up the pissers.
Again the Crewe goal stirred us into action, and we pushed forward again and after Wright and Crainey had cracked a couple over the bar, another cross was only partly cleared to the edge of the area and Pugh calmly ran onto it to hammer it into the bottom corner.
Last minute McMaster got to the by-line and hit an excellent low cross across the face of the goal, unfortunately our 2 centre-forwards were both missing in action, both loitering on the edge of the area when a predatory centre-forward would be looking for the tap in.
