Crewe Alex names winner of Air Products competition

18th August 2003 — At last Saturday's match, between Crewe Alex and Ipswich Town, Abby Louise Condliffe, 9, was named the winner of the Air Products Crewe Alex Opening Season online game, and was awarded a brand new Sony PlayStation®2 and the latest football game. Air Products is the sponsor of Crewe Alex's main stand, which has been renamed 'the Air Products stand'.

The prize was handed over by Ron Hanley, European Planning and Systems Manager, Air Products, who is himself a strong supporter of the team.

'Saturday's match was a superb start to the season. Not only did the team play well, but I had the ultimate pleasure presenting Abby Louise with her prize - you should have seen the smile on her face! I have been a Crewe Alex fan all my life and so I was extremely proud to represent Air Products at the start of our sponsorship of the main stand. Other activities involving the local community and Air Products' employees will be announced over the coming months and will take place throughout the season. This competition marks the beginning of an exciting season for Crewe Alex and Air Products. We wish all the best to Dario Gradi and the team for the forthcoming campaign in the First Division!' said Ron.

The competition, sponsored by Air Products, ran over 2 weeks, on Crewe Alex's internet site, where applicants were asked to answer the following question: 'What gas is used to make a balloon float?' The answer was 'Helium'. The competition proved to be a huge success, as more than 350 applicants participated in the game.
