Bristol Rvs. prepare to entertain Oldham Athletic at Memorial Stadium on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Pirates are clearly on top, having won 16 and lost only 3 of the 27 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Memorial Stadium was just last season, in September 2009, the Pirates carving out a narrow 1-0 victory in a League One match.
