Crawley Town prepare to entertain Ebbsfleet United at Broadfield Stadium on Saturday afternoon, looking to improve on a dire past record against their opponents. It does not make pleasant reading, winning just 2 of the 12 games played, and losing 7.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Broadfield Stadium was less than a year ago, in March 2009, with Ebbsfleet Utd. inflicting a narrow 1-2 defeat upon the Reds in a Shield (Conference Cup) match.
