Luton Nomads were the first cricket club to become involved with Crawley Green with Charirman, Fred Woodhouse, club secretary, Graham Simpson  and club captain, Martin Smith  to ponder the building plans in the Playgroup area well before a brick had been laid.  In fact the Luton Nomads even helped with some immediate financing with advanced membership fees.
