Project manager Stevie Ruxton said: "Everyone at Circles Network was thrilled to be nominated for the tickets and these were able to be shared with the wider team in Peterborough.

"They had been hoping to visit Crawley Football Stadium and watch a game with the Crawley team for some time but due to Covid this was unable to happen.

"A great day was had by all, even if the result was not as we wanted, although one staff member who is an avid Tranmere Rovers fan was very pleased."

The club, in conjunction with key stakeholders including the Crawley Observer, are giving away 2,000 tickets to watch the Reds as a thank for people who deserve them within the Crawley community.

So far we have allocated tickets to Crawley Open House, Tilgate Bakery, Holiday Inn Express, and Oakwood School.

We have more tickets to giveaway so if you think someone deserves a treat, email us at [email protected] or message us on Facebook.
