The bookies expected a tough season ahead for the Reds and after a couple of wins, there have been some tough results recently.
That wasn’t the case a more than decade ago when Town enjoyed a few season’s to remember.
And, in our latest Crawley Town retro gallery, we head back to that golden time for the club at the start of the 2010’s.
We’ve got great celebration pictures of the amazing FA Cup run in 2010/11 which took the Reds all the way to the fifth round and defeat at Old Trafford.
And who can forget that season which secured promotion to the Football League, achieved after victory at Tamworth.
That, and plenty more, in this gallery.
