Crawley Town latest: Club to subsidise fans' coach travel for key game, midfielder leaves on loan and fine for Swindon match
Crawley Town Football Club will subsidise coach travel will be offered to fans travelling to the Newport County match.
The club’s first-team players, led by captain Jay Williams, offered to cover the cost of a coach to help as many fans as possible travel to the match. This offer was matched by the club’s owner, Raphael Khalili, who, in turn, has covered the cost of a second coach, alongside members of the playing and backroom staff.
With a return fare costing just £15 per supporter, the money raised will cover the cost of a third coach, should there be a demand for it.
The club said: “This is set to be an important match in the Reds’ hunt for League Two survival, and we want to see as many supporters there as possible.
“The club is pleased to be supporting GH Coaches with this initiative, and we can confirm that if all three coaches are a sell-out, any profits made will go towards providing further subsidised travel to the club’s next away match at Bristol Rovers.
“We do expect there to be a big uptake for this offer, so please make sure you book in with Alain early. To find out how to book, please read the information below.”
