Crawley Town prepare to entertain Forest Green Rovers at Broadfield Stadium on Saturday afternoon, aiming to preserve their record of never having lost at home to the visitors. Of the two previous meetings, the Reds have won one and drawn one.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Broadfield Stadium was just last season, in September 2004, when they eased past their opponents in a high-scoring 4-2 thriller, in a Conference match.
