But Scott Lindsey and his players have achieved their target of a top seven finish and with it a shot at promotion the exciting way, via the play offs.It’s also the first time any of us Reds fans have experienced the EFL play offs in our history. MK Dons are the team who stand in our way in what is sure to be a thrilling 2 leg affair with the winner taking on either Doncaster or Crewe at Wembley on Sunday 19th May. A trip to Wembley would also be a first for the club and something the whole town would jump on the bandwagon for. It’s going to be an exciting couple of weeks for Crawley fans young and old!#COYR Steve Herbert
