Former BBC Wiltshire match commentator Vic Morgan writes his weekly blog… The current run of form is, to say the least, disappointing. Looking at the fixtures Swindon Town are in the middle of, you would expect a better return than just the one point from the last three games. A better performance against Oldham might have brought a win, but despite

Former BBC Wiltshire match commentator Vic Morgan writes his weekly blog… How can it be? How can Swindon Town be so close to dropping back into football’s basement? When we climbed out of the cellar five short years ago, it was hoped we’d not be in danger of dropping back down again. Sadly that fear is now all too real. The

Former BBC Wiltshire match commentator Vic Morgan writes his weekly blog… Now we know! This season is a monumental struggle against relegation. To be fair we’ve known that for some time, but with our team apparently struggling to be in front, or behind, the bottom four looms. I’m not sure how we’re not in the League One basement now, it’s reassuring

Former BBC Wiltshire match commentator Vic Morgan writes his weekly blog… How important is Sunday’s derby may with the side along the A420? I’d say it’s about as important as it gets.

Those moments when you say “That’s it, never again”. Well there have been plenty of those this season. Somehow though you keep going in the hope that something special

Former BBC Wiltshire match commentator Vic Morgan writes his weekly blog… It seems we were waiting in vain. The silence was deafening and nothing seemed to be happening. A rather awful drawn game with Shrewsbury added to the frustration and the post Christmas glom had well and truly descended upon those who follow Swindon Town. A hoped for victory against the

Former BBC Wiltshire match commentator Vic Morgan writes his weekly blog… At least we got a draw… On the coldest day of the season so far, a goalless game didn’t warm us up too much. It was though, a point and a deserved one. The first half against Southend was, to put it mildly, pretty awful. After the break much better.

Former BBC Wiltshire match commentator Vic Morgan writes his weekly blog… Happy new year! Well we can but hope. I think, and most will agree, that 2016 has been a year to forget for Swindon Town fans. There aren’t many good memories to take from the past twelve months to store in the “glad I was there” bank.

Former BBC Wiltshire match commentator Vic Morgan writes his weekly blog… A very happy Christmas. Obviously a red and white one, what else would it be? I guess it’s that time when we all have a little wish about this and that and hope that the big man in the red and white suit delivers. As Swindon fans we’ve been waiting
