Bristol Rvs. prepare to entertain Macclesfield Town at Memorial Stadium on Saturday afternoon, hoping to break their duck against the visitors. Though past meetings have resulted in more draws than losses for Pirates.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Memorial Stadium was less than a year ago, in May 2006, with Macclesfield inflicting a narrow 2-3 defeat upon the Pirates in a League Two match.
