History of the Halifax Town v Crawley Town fixture

Crawley Town face a trip to Halifax Town at The Shay on Tuesday evening, looking to break their duck against the hosts. The two previous games have resulted in one drawn game and one defeat for the Reds.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in December 2005, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2 - 2 draw in a Conference match.
