History of the Morecambe v Stevenage Borough fixture

Morecambe prepare to entertain Stevenage Borough at Christie Park on Saturday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 6 of the 12 previous games, with the Shrimps winning just 4.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Christie Park was less than a year ago, in September 2005, when they eased past their opponents in a high-scoring 4-1 thriller, in a Conference match.
