A day to remember for Crawley fans - in pictures

The travelling Crawley fans celebrated at Wembley Stadium after the final whistle

Crawley Town were roared on by 17,000 supporters for their first-ever trip Wembley, around five times their average league gate this season.

The day ended in glory and after goals from Danilo Orsi and Liam Kelly gave them a 2-0 win over Crewe and promotion to League One.

Some Crawley fans were surprised by the result, others were always confident of the win - but all were ecstatic to see Scott Lindsey's men lift the promotion trophy.

But it was a different story for Crewe Alexandra, whose 16,000 fans left Wembley with a long journey back to Cheshire empty-handed.

"The dream has always been to be at Wembley, and we did it. We smashed it. I'm struggling to talk because I still feel like I'm in a dream."

While a particularly happy fan simply said: "Get in, Crawley!"

The match day will certainly be one to remember for Crawley Town, who return to League One after 12 years away.

Fans will certainly hope so.
