Crawley Town picture gallery: Tributes, action and celebrations from an emotional day

It was an emotional day at the Broadfield Stadium in all aspects.

The day was always going to be about Ken Blackmore, who passed away this week, and there were fitting tributes before and after the game.

On the pitch, Reds put in a superb display to beat Northampton Town 3-0 in their final home of the season. They thought that was enough to close the gap on Burton, who were drawing 1-1 with Cambridge United when the final whistle was blown at the Broadfield Stadium.

But minutes after the Reds players came out to thank the fans for their support this season, the news came in that Burton had got an injury-time winner to all but relegate the Reds.

It was a day full of emotion, sadness, celebration and disappointment – and it was all captured by photographer Natalie Mayhew/Butterfly Football. Here is a selection of her pictures.
