do i use crush and run before i put concrete down for footings. and if i have taken too much soil etc out can i put some back in or does it have to be made up with concrete. ps the footings are for a two storey extention

No and no. The trench must be filled with concrete and the base of the trench must be clean, firm ground. (And it must of coarse be suitable load bearing capacity)

Just so you know.. It's not crush and run. It's crusher run

Crush & run makes no sense. It's material straight off the crusher in the quarry, which makes a compactable product.
