History of the Dumbarton v Alloa Athletic fixture

Alloa Ath. pack their bags to visit Dumbarton at Strathclyde Homes Stadium on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Wasps will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 31 and win only 12 of the 59 games.

The previous match played between the two at Strathclyde Homes Stadium was more than three years back, in March 2006, with Alloa Ath. inflicting a narrow 0 - 1 defeat upon the Sons in a Scottish Division Two match.
