Relegation, demotion and perhaps a promotion …the continuing story of Swindon Town F.C.
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.

A youthful, injury-ravaged Town side biffed and bashed their way to a valuable point at home to Sheffield United, but that doesn’t mean it was ever easy on the eye, writes Ben Beaumont. I’m beginning to think The Washbag should stop asking me to write match reports. Last month it was that unholy drab-a-thon against […]

Writes Richard Banyard of swindon-town-fc.co.uk The first half hour was overwhelmingly Swindon’s […]

It wasn’t pretty, as the power of Northampton looked to out-do the precise passing of Swindon reports Rosie MacGillivray.
