Bridges look for support with 3G appeal

Three Bridges are attempting to raise money to contribute to the £1.2 million costs of installing a new 3G pitch.

The club, currently fifteenth in Pitching In Isthmian South East, have a superb home record this season- but would like far more players to be able to call Jubilee Field home. To that end they are trying to raise twenty five thousand pounds towards the cost by way of a Just Giving Page- and a two-day virtual bike ride from Lands End to John O'Groats, which will take place early in the new year.

Chairman Paul Faili explains- via instagram:

'The advantage of a 3G pitch, from a community perspective, is that we can open our arms wider and invite more people in. Facilities in Crawley are shockingly bad, and I know the council do their very very best, but to have a new, enclosed and properly looked after facility is massively important to the community. I'm not talking about the elite athletes, I'm talking about the kid that just wants to have a kick about on a Sunday morning and perhaps has no money. We've already got four hundred children here, and it's very easy to talk about helping children, but we actually need to do something.'

If you'd like to help the club to become an even bigger community asset, then please head here and dig deep!
