History of the Accrington Stanley v Crewe Alexandra fixture

Crewe Alex. travel to take on Accrington Stanley at Fraser Eagle Stadium on Friday evening, and have come away with little in previous meetings, having been beaten a depressing 23 out of 33 times.

The last time the two teams met at Accrington S. was well over fifteen years ago, back in December 1992, where Crewe Alex. annihilated the The Railwaymen 1 - 6 in an F.A. Cup match.
