Forest Green prepare to entertain Northwich Victoria at The Lawn on Saturday evening, aiming to preserve their record of never having lost at home to the visitors. All the previous meetings between the two have been won by the Rovers.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at The Lawn was less than a year ago, in March 2003, the Rovers carving out a narrow 1-0 victory in a Conference match.
