Forest Green Rovers make our first-ever trip Grosvenor Vale as we look to make it back-to-back wins in the National League against Wealdstone.
In our first meeting with Wealdstone back in September, the Stones denied Rovers all three points with a late strike during our 2-2 draw.
Ahead of our visit to north London on Saturday, here is everything Rovers fans need to know about our opposition.
OPPOSITION - WEALDSTONE
The Stones have picked up some important form in their fight against the drop winning three of their last five games which sees them sit 19th in National League, two points above the bottom four.
Wins against fellow survival chasers Woking and Boston United after a stunning 1-0 victory over play-off contenders Altrincham has the Stones set for sixth straight season at this level.
At home, they have made Grosvenor Vale a fortress in the league losing just eight of their 20 home fixtures this season.
IN THE DUGOUT- NEIL GIBSON
Neil Gibson took charge of the Stones at the end of January replacing Matthew Taylor who departed the club to join Solihull Moors.
Gibson took over a side floating between the drop zone and safety but since taking the helm has won 20 points from 14 games - 44.4% of the sides total points this season seeing them climb away from the drop zone.
The 45-year-old has spent the first seven years of his managerial career in the Welsh leagues managing the likes of Prestatyn Town, Flint Town and Connah’s Quay most recently.
PLAYER TO WATCH - ALEX REID
The Stones most potent form of attack comes in the form of forward, Alex Reid, who has netted 14 goals since signing on loan from Oldham Athletic in January.
The 29-year-old has scored four goals in his last six games and recently made his 200th National League appearance during the sides victory over Altrincham.
