Keepmoat Stadium Doncaster

Swindon couldn’t make it into the top two as they went down to a 1-0 defeat against top of the table Doncaster.

This wasn’t just rubbish. This was stinking Swindon Town rubbish, writes Ben Beaumont. If you believe in these things, the omens were bad. 1. Bury hadn’t won at the County Ground since 1977.
