We were going already, so it's a bonus, but considering the distance, will a cheap ticket make much of a difference to attendance?

It did for me mate, money is tight for us at the moment so this is a nice bonus.

This is a really great gesture from Crawley Town.

Kings Cross to Crawley overground  is 30 quid return, so starting to become an expensive day if you train it down..

When we went several years ago we found free parking not far from the ground - https://www.crawleytownfc.com/tickets/visiting-us-for-the-first-time/#:~:text=Exit%20the%20M23%20at%20the,mins%20from%20the%20M23%20junction.&text=There%20are%20two%20free%20parking%20options%20close%20to%20the%20stadium.

I'm driving down but not stopping over.
Got to go in my van though because the electric car won't get me there and back (great idea those things, good for the environment cos you can't go anywhere)

I drove down last season and parked in the layby right next to the ground for free. £2 a ticket is brilliant but it’s still best part of a 100 quid day out to take my boys. Fuel and food will be all on me

that's a 150 mile roundtrip , is that really the sort of real world figures that an EV will give you worries, my insignia diesel gives me 1000 miles to a tank, so you see why I'd be hesitant to switch to an EV? At 5 times the price..

Approx 65 mpg, are you sure you’re not exaggerating a bit?

why would I exaggerate, no point, 95% of my miles are Mway, official vauxhall figures are 80mpg extra urban, so I could actually sneak A bit more out lol

I get 220 mile out of the EV in summer and 550 out of a full tank of diesel.
No way I'm getting there and back in the car.
My van is more comfortable anyway.

£16.30 return from St Pancras buy a split ticket at Pancras to three bridges and then from there to Crawley or just get bus from there to ground

Picked up our three tickets but apparently not selling very well so far.
Hopefully do better when on general sale.
Looking forward to standing on a terrace with no seats in front or behind.

It's our longest away trip in League Two isn't it? Hardly surprising in a school holiday that loads of people aren't banging down the door to get there, even if ticket itself is extremely cheap.

doesn't surprise me, it's such a trek, I didn't think the cheaper tickets would sway many extra into going....

Ah well, it swayed me and is another ground to chalk off.

I would've gone but I'm away in the Lakes for Easter. I guess a lot of people will have holidays and family commitments that weekend.

Just booked mine today and the number of tickets remaining is around 250 so looks like plenty have taken advantage and we should have a good following.

If we're taking over a thousand on that trek then I'd say that's a good following tbh.

I stand corrected Stockton, apologies. Only 253 tickets left according to our ticket site.
That is fantastic support, even at £2 a ticket it's still a ball ache to get there

Wow if that’s right that is an amazing turn out, beats the few hardy souls who went last season
