Relegation, demotion and perhaps a promotion …the continuing story of Swindon Town F.C.
Swindon stormed into the League Two promotion places with a superb performance at Roots Hall last night – thumping fellow contenders Southend by four goals to one with an emphatic display, writes Richard Banyard. I have to admit I was surprised by Di Canio’s team selection – I expected a very similar line-up to the […]
Scot Munroe gives his summary of the transfer window so far and what might be in store for Town fans. We are just over three weeks into the new year and the January transfer window, there has been no surprise that we’ve witnessed new signings and deadwood departing. On the way out of the County Ground we […]
As we’ve moved into 2012 it’s a good opportunity to look back on twelve of the best Swindon Town goals of 2011. The list, compiled by Daniel Hunt, comprises eleven different players who have contributed to this selection of towering headers, team goals and individual efforts. Hopefully we haven’t missed out a good’un in this selection as we’ve tried to give […]
On Saturday morning live on Soccer AM, Swindon Town found out who would be their opponents in the JPT Area Semi Final. It will be an away trip to Paul Sturrock’s Southend United in early December for the Robins. I let out a cry of “No!” when the draw was made. Surely this is the worst […]

Following on from the release of Alan O’Brien and Thomas Dossevi, there are nine other Swindon Town players out of contract at the end of the season. We all know about Alan Sheehan’s lack of commitment to the club after going without permission to play for Preston North End in a trial match, but what […]
I didn’t travel to Essex to watch Town at Colchester, so a big thanks to regular Washbag contributor STFC007 for his thoughts and reflections on the game. After last year’s 3-0 away defeat at the hands of Colchester in their dreary stadium, I vowed that I would not return here for this season’s encounter. However, I felt […]
What a difference a goal makes? Perhaps not given the widespread reaction to Town’s 1-1 draw at home to Rochdale, a match that saw neither side ‘deserve’ the victory. “WILSON OUT!” remained the text and email of choice of the many who contacted BBC Wiltshire post match. However, Wilson confirmed he has no intentions to […]
Readers of my blog post on Monday may be surprised that I’m not calling for Wilson’s immediate dismissal following the goalless draw with Tranmere at the County Ground last night. After all, I did clearly state from the next two home games “Six points are needed. Any less and we can kiss goodbye to League One”. Yes, […]
