Relegation, demotion and perhaps a promotion …the continuing story of Swindon Town F.C.
I’m at a bit of a loss what to write. Thoroughly disappointed is perhaps the most apt way to describe my emotions at the final whistle, as Town players laid dejected and spread on the Wembley pitch, soundly beaten. Yesterday morning was full of excitement, not nervousness as I’d thought. Before I knew it, we’d arrived at Wembley Stadium Station and […]
Last season Town secured their League One status in the penultimate game of the season and eventually finished a deceptivly reasonable 15th, 4 points clear of the drop. Despite a renewed optimism around the Robins, the club was brought back down to earth as 2009/2010 started with a 5-0 demolition by Gillingham on the 8th […]
There is definitely something about the Play-Offs. There is no more satisfying way to experience being promoted than through the annual end of season fight for promotion, which Swindon have previously won in 3 of 4 attempts. Whilst we are not in the Championship just yet, we now are potentially 90 minutes away from the second tier […]
Wow, what an atmosphere, what a game and the result we needed, fought for and deserved. The first leg of the League One Play-Offs at the County Ground last night gave Town the advantage going into the second leg at The Valley on Monday night.

The League One Play-Offs tonight and Monday evening against 4th place Charlton Athletic promises to be two intriguing and finely balanced crucial games judging by the matches earlier this season. The game at The Valley finished 2-2 after Charlton went down to 9 men in the first half but after Town pulled ahead with a goal each […]
Whatever happened at The New Den, the Leeds United result ultimately would determine which team was promoted. For a few moments after Leeds had gone down to 10 men it seemed the impossible may happen and Rovers may defeat Leeds or at least hold them to a draw. Shortly after half time news of Rovers […]
Saturday 8th May 2010 sees the most important Swindon Town game since the League One Play-Off Semi-Final 2nd Leg versus Brighton back in 2004. Town face Millwall at The New Den in what could be, depending on the Leeds result, a winner takes it all encounter. The potential prize being a place in the Championship […]
I’ve been away on holiday for the past couple of days, so I completely missed the Wycombe game and followed the closing 20 minutes on BBC Score. Fortunately Iain was at the game, so thanks for this excellent match report. Town’s bid for second spot was realistically ended after a disappointing 2-2 draw at relegation-threatened Wycombe. […]
