Crewe Alex. travel to take on Notts. County at Meadow Lane on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The The Railwaymen will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them ending up on the losing side in more than half of the games played between the two.
The last time the two teams met at Notts. County was back in February 2003, over five years ago, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2 - 2 draw in a League Division Two match.
