History of the Barrow v Forest Green Rovers fixture

Barrow prepare to entertain Forest Green Rovers at Holker Street Stadium on Saturday afternoon, aiming to preserve their record of never having lost at home to the visitors. The Bluebirds have drawn both of the previous games against their opponents, however.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Holker Street Stadium was less than a year ago, in November 2008, with Barrow running out comfortable 3-1 winners in a (Conference) Premier match.
