History of the Crawley Town v Forest Green Rovers fixture

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. The majority of those games have been won by the Reds.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Broadfield Stadium was less than a year ago, in February 2007, with Crawley Town running out comfortable 3-1 winners in a Conference match.
