History of the Altrincham v Crawley Town fixture

Altrincham prepare to entertain Crawley Town at Moss Lane on Tuesday evening, aiming to preserve their record of never having lost at home to the visitors. The Robins have drawn both of the previous games against their opponents, however.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Moss Lane was just last season, in November 2006, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a Conference match.
