Cheltenham T. pack their bags to visit Rushden & Diamonds at Nene Park on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Robins will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them being consigned to defeat by opponents in 3 of the 5 games.
The previous match played between the two at Nene Park was within the last three years, in September 2001, the Diamonds carving out a narrow 1 - 0 victory in a League Division Three match.
