Forest Green pack their bags to visit Southport at Haig Avenue on Friday evening, looking to break their duck against the hosts. While the majority of previous matches have ended up drawn, a win has yet to be registered by Rovers.
The previous match played between the two at Haig Avenue was within the last three years, in January 2003, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2 - 2 draw in a Conference match.
