Crawley Town are offering free entry to their match versus Mansfield Town on Friday 17th December.
There have been quite a few instances of Teams offering discounted prices to attract hopefully more support, more positive promotion of the club, Pity its such a distance

We've been offering free admission for children since we moved to Stormy Corner and in recent years have added free admission to students and people in the armed services.
If I or any of my fellow director's thought for one minute that reducing the gate price would entice more people through the turnstiles then we'd do it straight away.
What we are looking at is a gimmick, and I'm personally in dialogue with a company that specializes in public relations. Admittedly they are struggling to come up with ideas, but we think we have an initiative that with the full cooperation of our local council could see a dramatic change in the way people view their local non-league football club.
My request is simple – keep coming up with ideas and we will seriously look at them, but please bear in mind that we have substantial overheads. We have cover costs such as officials, hospitality, electricity, water and the bar staff before we even look at players’ expenses.
