Work began at the weekend on Crawley Town Football Club’s biggest pitch improvement project in the Club’s 21 year history.  

Contractors Premier Pitches moved in on Friday to start renovation works at the Checkatrade Stadium just after completing a project at Manchester City’s Etihad Stadium earlier last week.  The Checkatrade Stadium will be hosting Brighton and Hove Albion women’s matches next season; as part of that commitment, Brighton have made a considerable financial donation to the renovation.  

Due to the scale of the work involved, the Reds will be unable to stage a pre-season game until the end of July.
