The names of Sutton United and Gander Green Lane are designed to bring any Coventry City supporter out in a cold sweat after the Sky Blues famous FA Cup defeat at the ground in 1989.
Even this City fan, however, can't help but be impressed by the twin initiatives being offered by the Skrill South club.
Firstly, this Saturday's home game against Basingstoke Town (Saturday 15th March 3pm) has been designated as a 'Pay What You Like' fixture with free entry and another appearance from top comedian and Sutton supporter Tim Vine who will act as club mascot for the day. This follows an earlier appearance which, unfortunately, coincided with a postponed match.
Not only that but the club have cut admission prices for their remaining home games of the season to £10 for adults, £5 for concessions and £1 for juniors as they, like so many other teams, battle with a fixture backlog after the bad winter weather.
Speaking to the Streatham Guardian, chairman Bruce Elliott said: "We hope that by making this reduction to admission prices, which also sees the age for senior citizen entry revert to 60, we will help people to get to more games and maybe attract new supporters."
