History of the Forest Green Rovers v Northwich Victoria fixture

Forest Green prepare to entertain Northwich Victoria at The Lawn on Saturday afternoon, aiming to preserve their record of never having lost at home to the visitors. The majority of those games have been won by the Rovers.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at The Lawn was just last season, in August 2003, when they played out a goalless draw in a Conference match.
