Crawley Town featured on these pages last season after taking the bold step, for a Football League club, of offering 'Pay What You Want' admission to their home match against Hartlepool United.
This summer has seen the League Two side appoint a new manager and a high-profile one at that as Harry Kewell, once of Liverpool and Leeds, has been given the opportunity to take his first senior managerial role at the Checkatrade Stadium.
A Chelsea XI will provide the first chance for home supporters to see a Kewell side in action when they visit Sussex on Saturday July 15 for a 3pm friendly.
A Family Fun Day is planned beforehand in addition to Crawley's new kit launch and, refreshingly, tickets will cost just £1 for all categories if purchased by 4:30pm the day before the game (£3 on the day).
It's a good gesture from the club, one that has little financial downside and plenty of potential benefits given the goodwill it will produce among the local community.
