History of the Stevenage Borough v Crawley Town fixture

Crawley Town face a trip to Stevenage Borough at Broadhall Way on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Reds will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them being consigned to defeat by opponents in 4 of the 7 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in August 2008, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1 - 1 final scoreline in a (Conference) Premier match.
