Crawley Town are managed by Richie Barker who signed a two-year deal last summer. In his first season in charge Barker led the club to a 10th-place finish, which was six points outside the play-offs.
Established in 1896, the Red Devils have gradually worked their way up through the non league system and are now a club who are looking to progress through the leagues.
Having secured the Southern League Championship in the 2003-2004 season, they were then looking to gain promotion out of the Conference and they finall achieved that feat in the 2010-2011 season as they breezed to the championship with a staggering 105 points to venture into League Two under the stewardship of Steve Evans.
The club's greatest momentts came in the 2011 FA Cup, as they embarked on a special trip through the greatest cup competition in football. Having already beaten Derby County and Torquay United, the Red Devils booked a place in the 5th round with a more famous Red Devils outfit, as they gained the plum draw of Manchester United at Old Trafford.
However, they failed to cause a giantkilling as they went down 1-0 to the Premier League giants, but were unlucky to not scrape a draw as last minute header hit the United bar to leave Crawley fans going home in disappointed.
