2014–15 Crawley Town F.C. season
Crawley Town 2014–15 football season
The 2014–15 season was the 65th season in which Crawley Town played senior football, and the 9th as a fully professional team. Crawley Town competed in Football League One , the third tier of English football, following automatic promotion from League Two during the 2011–12 season.
Season summary
The 2014–15 season saw Crawley struggle for form, and Gregory resigned for health reasons near the end of 2014, with the club in the relegation zone.[ 2] Dean Saunders was appointed to replace him on an interim basis,[ 3] and despite an upturn in form, was unable to get the club out of trouble. On Sunday 3 May 2015, Crawley were relegated to League Two, following a 1–2 defeat at home to Coventry City. Saunders' short-term deal was not renewed after the season ended, and he was replaced by Mark Yates .[ 4]
