Former BBC Wiltshire match commentator Vic Morgan writes his weekly blog… It’s over then. Swindon Town’s involvement in the controversial Checkatrade Trophy ended on Tuesday night. It was a game which featured five goals, some of them excellent, including a first for the club from Ellis Iandolo and a great finish from Luke Norris. Now I know this competition has had

Former BBC Wiltshire match commentator Vic Morgan writes his weekly blog… Our break on FA Cup Second Round weekend is almost as traditional now as the event on December the 25th.

Former BBC Wiltshire match commentator Vic Morgan writes his weekly blog… Two long journeys, two completely different performances, two different sets of feelings amongst the fans.

Former BBC Wiltshire match commentator Vic Morgan writes his weekly blog… Where to start? Well I suppose at Scunthorpe last weekend. Arguably one of the worst forty five minutes I’ve ever witnessed from a Town team and that’s saying something.

Former BBC Wiltshire match commentator Vic Morgan writes his weekly blog… Just when you thought the season had hit a new low last weekend with the defeat by Walsall, there’s the prospect of a long journey to league leaders to come on Saturday.

Former BBC Wiltshire match commentator Vic Morgan writes his weekly blog… If your name is Lawrence Vigouroux and you’re a professional goalkeeper for Swindon Town, you’ve had a pretty good week.
