For our public vote this month, the decision is yours to decide which Swindon Town kit deserves to be condemned to the Hall of Shame. The nominations are… Kit A – 1981-89 Yellow & Blue away While Oxford United enjoyed their crook fueled football throughout the mid 1980s Town sought to emulate our neighbours with a yellow and [...]
Andrew Hawes gets his chance to induct his choice into the Hall of Shame…a popular selection by all accounts… There aren’t that many managers in Swindon’s history who have achieved promotion. Bert Head, Danny Williams, Lou Macari, Ossie Ardiles (albeit briefly), Glenn Hoddle, Steve McMahon and Paul Sturrock complete the list. Yet when thinking about the [...]
A solid defence is something than Swindon have seldom had. Over the past decade, you can count a dozen Adrian Viveashs for every Gordon Greer. Mis-timed and clumsy tackles, back-passes to the keepers, poor distribution – the County Ground has seen it all, writes Rosie MacGillivray; who inducts her choice for the worst Swindon match of [...]
For our next entry into the Swindon Town Hall of Shame, Vic Morgan recalls one of the most shameful decisions taken by a Swindon Town board. Vic looks back to April 1985 when Lou Macari was wrongly dismissed to the anger of the Town faithful, then reinstated days later. It was Good Friday…a day of rest [...]
A massive 74% voted Swindon’s 0-1 defeat at Histon in the FA Cup – on the 8th November 2008 – as the first match under the management of Maurice Malpas to be inducted into our STFC Hall of Shame. With a very poor start to the League One campaign that originally aimed towards the play-offs, supporters confidence [...]

We’ve picked five choices. Vote for the match that should be inducted into the Hall of Shame. Voting closes at 5pm on Wednesday 25th [...]
Not many player’s careers can bare comparison with Thierry Henry’s, writes Alex Cooke. To do so they would need to be a club-record goal scorer, a World Cup and European Championships winner, an inspirational captain, an ad-man’s dream and, an aesthete. Swindon’s Eric Sabin – entry #2 into the Hall of Shame – was none of these things. [...]
The Hall of Shame kicks off as we induct former Swindon Town manager Dave Mackay. Mackay’s presence at the club caused instability from the start. His brief reign as manager from 1st November 1971 to 1st November 1972 ripped apart the 1969 League Cup winning side, sending Town on a downward spiral which took fifteen years to recover from. [...]
After STFC recently announced the first players entered into the club’s Hall of Fame we thought it’s right to turn the tables and honour the darker side of Swindon Town Football Club over the years. It’s right to celebrate the good players and times, but those only exist because of the crap we’re frequently subjected to. It is experiencing [...]
No.5 – Paul Hart: The worst Swindon manager of all time? In June I set out on the task of attempting to rank all Swindon Town managers since we joined the Football League in 1920 by their actual results. The reason was to analyise whether Paul Hart’s record of 1 win, 4 draws and 6 defeats from [...]
