Stratford Town form and stats

There's been little loot from Stratford Town's travels as they have only collected 6 points from 14 away games in the Non League Premier: Southern Central. Stratford Town only have 1 win to counter their 10 defeats and 3 draws. Stratford Town has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.

There might be some fixture complaints from Stratford as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, 3-4 against Rushall Olympic. As you can tell from the result, the match against Rushall Olympic was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 7 goals, will the fun continue today?

A 3-3 draw was the result before that, hosting St Ives Town.
