History of the Crawley Town v Grays Athletic fixture

Crawley Town prepare to entertain Grays Athletic at Broadfield Stadium on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Reds are clearly on top, beating their opponents 3 times from 5 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Broadfield Stadium was less than a year ago, in September 2008, the Reds carving out a narrow 2-1 victory in a (Conference) Premier match.
