Crawley havelaunched a new initiative today in an attempt to entice more families to the Checkatrade.com Stadium.

Supporters will be able to buy a family ticket which gives entry to two adults and two under-16s for the game against Yeovil for £44 – a saving of £12.

The scheme comes after statistics showed that the Checkatrade.com Stadium was among the safest places in the country to watch league football.

Chief executive Michael Dunford said: “This is the first time at the club we have introduced a ticket especially for families and comes in response to requests from our supporters.

“Recent Home Office statistics showed there was not a single arrest at the Checkatrade.com Stadium last season and we are only one of five clubs where that was the case.

“It offers more evidence that our home is a safe and family-friendly environment for supporters. We hope this initiative, which offers excellent value for money, will encourage more families to come and enjoy League One football.”

Family tickets can only be purchased from the box office, which is open 9.30am-4pm weekdays and from 10am on home match days. You can also reserve by phone (01293 410000) and collect before the game.
