As Rovers prepare to play Potters Bar this fternoon, we take a quick glimpse at Rovers record against Potters Bar in "Factual Findings".

Here at Rovers we have comprehensive records dating back to 1992 and we've managed to compile results, Rovers lineups, scorers etc thanks to Nobby Johnson, Jim Laird and the hard work of our own resident statto's Dan Trenkel and Rob Lilley.

So let's take a look at our record against Potters Bar.

There have been 14 matches between the sides, Rovers winning 4 games, Potters Bar winning 7 and 3 draws. Rovers have scored 20 goals, Potters Bar 24.
Let's take a look at the fixture in question, with Potters Bar being at home. There have been 6 games, Potters winning two, Rovers winning two and two draws. Rovers have scored 10 goals, Potters Bar 9.

Rovers go to Potters Bar unbeaten at Parkfield since 13th February 2007 when Rovers succumbed to a 4-2 defeat, both Rovers goals coming from Neil Richmond.

Both Rovers Manager and Assistant Managers, Dan Trenkel and Gary Ansell featured in the same match against Potters Bar on the 17th March 2009, where Rovers won 3-0 at Parkfield, all Rovers goals coming from T.Poole. This match also represents the last time Rovers were successful at Parkfield, two subsequent games since then ending in a draw.

Of course, nobody will forget the Rovers 6-5 home defeat to Potters Bar where then captain, Dan Trenkel, grabbed all of Rovers 5 goals yet still ended up on the losing side. Trenkel remains the Rovers player with the most goals against Potters Bar in our recorded history, with 5 goals, followed closely by Neil Richmond with 4.
