History of the Forest Green Rovers v Gravesend & Northfleet fixture

Forest Green prepare to entertain Gravesend & Northfleet at The Lawn on Saturday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 2 of the 4 previous games, with the Rovers winning just 1.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at The Lawn was less than a year ago, in February 2006, when they played out a goalless draw in a Conference match.
