Ahead of meeting Oxford United on Tuesday, Steven Fyfe looks at some of his favourite, andd least favourite, Town moments in knock-out football In my decade or so of supporting Swindon Town I have sampled the highs and lows of cup competitions. My mum was only just born when we beat Arsenal in 1969 and I was only 3 years

BONNY AT DONNY

Okay, it wasn’t a win but at least it wasn’t a defeat. When you’ve been on a bad run you somehow just want that run to end. A draw then is decent. To be honest any draw away from home is not too bad. I wasn’t able to make the trip to Yorkshire on Tuesday because of work commitments but

BBC Devon’s Vic Morgan writes his latest blog for TheWashbag.com… Yes I avoided the obvious. Please insert whatever you wish for this blog’s title. What is obvious is that the defeat by the visiting Burton Albion was one of the most disappointing in a long while. It wasn’t the fact that we lost, we can take that when the other

Posted on September 23, 2015 by TheWashbag One comment

Replica kit collector Dan Castle of swindontownshirts.com reviews the Spall home shirt that didn’t grace Division One in 1990/91… ‘You’ve got no-one to blame for your unhappiness. You got yourself into your own mess’. Football fans become involved emotionally in the game in different ways. Some are introduced to it by parents at an early age, brought up in tiny replica shirts

Down to Earth…

BBC Devon’s Vic Morgan writes his latest blog for TheWashbag.com… We set off early to get to Barnsley. It wasn’t with reluctance that I hear the alarm go off after about three hours sleep. Even though working late and rising before the larks don’t usually go together, I was looking forward to the trip to Oakwell. Don’t know why, but
