Customer Charter

Formed in 1877, Crewe Alexandra is one of the oldest Football League clubs in Britain and has experienced many highs and lows during its history. From the trauma of re-election to the high of promotion to the EFL Championship in 1997, Crewe Alexandra has an established and proud history as a club that often ‘punches above its weight’.

The Football Club has developed a well renowned youth Academy that has produced a number of full international players such as former England captain David Platt, Dean Ashton, Danny Murphy and Seth Johnson and generated over £25 million in transfer revenue.

Crewe Alexandra continues to nurture young talent and provide them with an opportunity to play first-team football. Our objective is to produce talented, skilful footballers, as well as disciplined and respectful men both on-and-off the pitch. The club is often awarded the PFA and FA Fair Play Awards for our excellent discipline.

Despite having to sell playing assets to survive, Crewe Alexandra reached the Championship for a period of eight seasons and always strives to play at the highest level possible.

In March 2020, the Football Club welcomed five new directors on to the board, forming Crewe Alexandra Group Limited with one of them being the Chairman from ‘The Railwaymen Supporters Society’

The Football Club was the first to win the EFL’s accolade of the best away fan experience and has proudly won the Family Excellence Award over the past six seasons.

Crewe Alexandra was honoured with the Football League’s Most Respected Club Award in 2005 – an accolade that takes pride of place at the Mornflake Stadium. 

The club’s Soccer in the Community scheme is also award winning and holds sessions for children of all ages, as well for those with disabilities and learning difficulties.

In the forthcoming season, everyone at the Club is aiming to build on our relationships with the local community and enticing supporters of the future to local football.

We have increased our links with local charities and have chosen Mid Cheshire Hospitals and their tremendous work with dementia as one of our new charity partners for the coming season. 

During these tough economic times, The Football Club is also keen to assist our supporters by offering real value for money in relation to ticketing and season tickets. We continue to offer some of the cheapest seats in the entire EFL, especially for our younger supporters. Our free season ticket offer for our Under-11s has once again proved very popular with families.

We aim to improve our supporter experience on matchdays through our ticketing system making the purchasing of tickets/season tickets through the digital channels a quicker and easier experience and environmentally cut down the need for paper tickets and plastic season cards.

Going forward we aim to repeat the standard we have set on a match day and aim to retain the family excellence award whilst providing an enjoyable, safe and comfortable environment for all supporters and visitors.

Crewe Alexandra Football Club will not tolerate sexual or racially based harassment or other discriminatory behavior, whether physical or verbal, and will work to ensure that such behavior is met with appropriate disciplinary action in whatever context it occurs.

Environmental Policy

Crewe Alexandra Football Club believes that businesses are responsible for achieving good environmental practice and operating in a sustainable manner. 

We are therefore committed to reducing our environmental impact and continually improving our environmental performance as an integral and fundamental part of our business strategy and operating methods. 

It is our priority to encourage our customers, suppliers and all business associates to do the same.  Not only is this sound commercial sense for all; it is also a matter of delivering on our duty of care towards future generations.

Our policy is to

  • Wholly support and comply with or exceed the requirements of current environmental legislation and codes of practice.
  • Minimise our waste and then reuse or recycle as much of it as possible.
  • Minimise energy and water usage in our buildings, vehicles and processes in order to conserve supplies, and minimise our consumption of natural resources, especially where they are non-renewable.
  • Operate and maintain company vehicles (where appropriate) with due regard to environmental issues as far as reasonably practical and encourage the use of alternative means of transport and car sharing as appropriate.
  • Apply the principles of continuous improvement in respect of air, water, noise and light pollution from our premises and reduce any impacts from our operations on the environment and local community.
  • As far as possible purchase products and services that do the least damage to the environment and encourage others to do the same.
  • Assess the environmental impact of any new processes or products we intend to introduce in advance.

The FA, Premier League and EFL are together introducing new measures and stronger sanctions across the game to tackle the increased anti-social and criminal behaviours recently seen within football grounds and underline the importance of a safe matchday environment.

The new set of actions, which have been implemented across all English football leagues from the start of Season 2022/23 and backed by the Football Supporters’ Association, will target activity such as entering the pitch without permission, carrying or using smoke bombs or pyrotechnics and throwing objects - as well as drug use and discriminatory behaviour.

These acts are dangerous, illegal and have severe consequences. They have no place in football, or anywhere.

All identified offenders will be reported by clubs to the police and prosecution could result in a permanent criminal record, which may affect their employment and education, and could result in a prison sentence.

Furthermore, anyone who enters the pitch and those identified carrying or using pyrotechnics or smoke bombs will now receive an automatic club ban. These bans could also be extended to accompanying parents or guardians of children who take part in these activities.
