About our Crawley Town news
Latest news on Crawley Town, covering League Two results, fixtures, transfers, Broadfield Stadium and "Red Devils" news.
Crawley Town Football Club is an English side based in West Sussex, competing in League Two, the fourth tier of the domestic pyramid. Nicknamed the "Red Devils" for their bright red kit, the club has climbed from non-league obscurity to become a regular fixture in the Football League, drawing attention for giant-killing FA Cup runs and a turbulent recent ownership history.
The club has experienced significant boardroom upheaval in recent years, moving from an American cryptocurrency-focused investor group to a new syndicate, KB Sports and Leisure Limited, headed by owner Raphael Khalili. On the pitch, managerial changes have been frequent, with head coach Colin Kazim-Richards eventually earning a permanent deal after guiding the team to survival following a difficult run of results. Fans continue to debate the club's recruitment strategy, squad turnover and the balance between short-term survival and longer-term stability in League Two.
Beyond results and transfers, Crawley Town carries a strong sense of community identity, with its supporters known as the "Red Army" bringing a lively atmosphere to Broadfield Stadium. The club runs an active academy programme for young players, alongside school engagement and charitable initiatives that connect the football club to the wider Crawley area. Local derbies and cup ties against nearby West Sussex and Sussex clubs remain a source of rivalry and pride for supporters.
Formed in 1896, Crawley Town spent decades in amateur and semi-professional football before turning fully professional in the 2000s. The club reached the Football League for the first time in 2011 after winning the Conference National, and has since experienced promotions and relegations between League One and League Two. Notable FA Cup exploits, including victories over higher-division opposition, have given the "Red Devils" a reputation as reliable underdogs capable of springing an upset.
Financial instability has been a recurring theme throughout the club's history, from near-collapse and administration in the mid-2000s to more recent scrutiny over ownership decisions and squad investment. These challenges have shaped a resilient fanbase accustomed to fighting relegation battles as often as celebrating promotions, and have kept questions of sustainable ownership central to conversations about the club's future.
