Mike Senior, Vice-Chairman of Sandbach United said: “Gateway Peugeot in Crewe is well known for its high standard of customer service, something which is equally important to ourselves and in our own ethos as a club.

“Working with them on the match day draw could lead to a variety of options in terms of prizes and additional sponsorship.
