Vic Morgan Blog: A weekend to remember…
The ramblings of BBC Devon’s Vic Morgan..
Don’t know about you, but I thought Tuesday’s game with Torquay was terrific.
Before the game we had OO Shaun Taylor and Glenn Hoddle inducted into the Town’s Hall of Fame. There was also a return for Martin Ling with his, and Shaun’s Gulls team.
I made a brief return to the County Ground commentary box to cover the game for BBC Radio Devon, and I really enjoyed it.

Both teams play the game in the right way, and it was played in the right spirit. Credit to Torquay for their terrific season and I really hope they join us in League One next year.
Alan Connell made a scoring return, with Oliver Risser scoring Shaun Taylor like in the second half. I thought it was Oliver’s best game in a Town shirt, and was deservedly made Man of the Match.
It was also a pleasure to speak to Lingy again after many years. Twice a Swindon player, he remains pleasant, polite, and affable. A lot of people in the game could learn a thing or two from him on how to deal with the media.
And so a comfortable lead at the top of the table despite the loss at Crewe. That defeat at Gresty Road brought an astonishing reaction from some.
In football you lose sometimes, that’s just the way it is. For goodness sake get a grip, we’re top of the league and at Wembley. Just think about twelve months ago, then if you still want to moan go ahead. Don’t think you’ll have many people joining you.
The football was superb Tuesday. Last year we played with a lone striker at home. Yes it was 4-5-1. Now we attack with two wingers and we WIN. Football is a game of opinions I know that. Surely though we have little to complain about right now, perhaps you’d rather be in a relegation scrap..I know I wouldn’t.
Sunday then…..Don’t forget to put your clocks forward, you wouldn’t want to miss the coach…
Yes… back at Wembley for a fifth time. I hated the last time. It rained, we played badly, it was a let down. I don’t think that’ll happen this time.
Thirty thousand people with a love of Swindon Town will be there. I’ve been to our previous four appearances at the national stadium and can’t wait for this one.
I will not be behaving like a 56 year old. I apologise in advance for my teenage enthusiasm on the day. If you see me and I gabble a little, I’m sorry. But you see, I LOVE my football club. It’s been such a part of my life I want nothing but good for it.
Let’s scream, shout and do as much as we can to help Swindon to victory over Chesterfield. We’re clear at the top of League Two and so can just think about Wembley now. Can there be any finer way to spend a Sunday afternoon ?
