Former BBC Wiltshire match commentator Vic Morgan writes his weekly blog… I have a picture on my wall. It’s a collage of photos from a season not too long ago. You know the one. Swindon were League Two champions and all seemed well. I remember writing in this blog at the time to make the most of those moments because they

Former BBC Wiltshire match commentator Vic Morgan writes his weekly blog… Just one game to go before this wretched season is put to bed. In my half century of watching the Town, there can have been few years that have rivalled this one for downright disappointment. Last Saturday’s defeat by Scunthorpe summed it up. For the most part outplayed and out

Relegation to the fourth tier, two defeats to Oxford, and a home defeat to a non-league team in the FA Cup surely make this season the worst in our history. Rob Foster contacted us to say it seems very unfair that Vigs won all the end of season awards, so he’s put forward some deserving others as well: PENNIES FROM HEAVEN

Former BBC Wiltshire match commentator Vic Morgan writes his weekly blog… Saturday sees the final home game of this miserable campaign. The visit of the Iron could be our last match at the County Ground in League One for….well who knows? Scunthorpe are a side that have scored freely against us recently. Ten goals conceded in the last two visits, that

Former BBC Wiltshire match commentator Vic Morgan writes his weekly blog… Bit of an afternoon that wasn’t it? Ninety minutes of watching paint dry would be pretty much up there to describe the game against AFC Wimbledon.

Former BBC Wiltshire match commentator Vic Morgan writes his weekly blog… Just when you thought this season was done and dusted and League Two was a certainty, that little thing called hope returns. There’s no doubt that the win at Fleetwood Town was one of the best performances this term. Against a side third in the league, Swindon were excellent. Solid

Former BBC Wiltshire match commentator Vic Morgan writes his weekly blog… I know it might be too late. I know it might be all for nothing and it’s the hope that kills. That feeling though, when Connor Thomas scored in the last few moments against Millwall, has been all too rare this season. Okay, it wasn’t the greatest of games and

Former BBC Wiltshire match commentator Vic Morgan writes his weekly blog… First of all events in London this week put all things in perspective. Our thoughts are with those who’ve been injured or who’ve lost loved ones on Westminster Bridge and near to the heart of our democracy, the Houses of Parliament. I think most of us have been affected by

Former BBC Wiltshire match commentator Vic Morgan writes his weekly blog… I think it’s fair to say that the past seven days has just about confirmed what many of us have feared for some time. Yes there are still games to play, yes it’s not mathematically certain, but relegation now seems more likely than not. To say that’s disappointing is, perhaps,

Relegation is on everyone’s lips around the County Ground so we’d better write something… After 37 games Swindon Town have won 36 points. Those good and pathetic at mathematics will equally realise that’s now less than one point secured per game, a woeful return. Some of our readers will have been following the average points per game graph on the fantastic swindon-town-fc.co.uk.
