Forest Green face a trip to Grays Athletic at Recreation Ground on Sunday afternoon, and will hope to continue their unbeaten record at the ground. Most of the previous games have been drawn, but the remainder have resulted in a win for Rovers.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in September 2007, with Forest Green inflicting a narrow 0 - 1 defeat upon the Blues in a (Conference) Premier match.
