Footymad preview History of the Forest Green Rovers v AFC Telford United fixture

Forest Green Rovers are ready to welcome AFC Telford United to The Lawn on Tuesday evening, aiming to preserve their record of never having lost at home to the visitors. Though history would suggest this fixture as being a 'banker' draw for the Rovers.

The previous match played between the two at The Lawn was within the last three years, in April 2009, when they played out a goalless draw in a Shield (Conference Cup) match.
