Crawley Town boss John Yems said: "We are sorting out a few dates with Non League clubs. With the pro sides we don’t know when anybody will be back so we want to keep it local and get their supporters involved and when their sides are away they can come and watch Crawley play."

The Reds have been working with local clubs and Yems believes that's the way forward.

Yems said: "Crawley donated some equipment to Horley in the summer after a break in so we want to support them, they are a good little club.

"We all need to be working together, it’s going to be hard enough next year for all clubs to survive. If we all push together and stick together let’s hope we can have a good season."
