The ramblings of BBC Devon’s Vic Morgan.. And so it was just ten wins in a row. That winning run came to an end at, of all places, the Kassam. A day no Town fan wants to remember for long, and the behaviour of some brought shame to both clubs. My abiding memory before I move on, is seeing fear

The ramblings of BBC Devon’s Vic Morgan.. For those of us old enough to remember, there was a time when our beloved football team might have been merged with a team from along the A420, and Reading. It was the idea of one Robert Maxwell, and he wanted to call the team Thames Valley Royals. With the local derby against

The ramblings of BBC Devon’s Vic Morgan.. So then it has come to pass… A come from behind win on Tuesday night, put us back to the top of the table. It’s been a long wait since the opening day of the season. You might remember, the sun shone, we won three-nil against Crewe, and we basked in the position

The ramblings of BBC Devon’s Vic Morgan.. Great win wasn’t it…? At the beginning I feared a drab game, with the wrong result. How wrong I was. Swindon’s performance was excellent. Despite playing a strong side…not gonna get into the Crawley bashing…they played a brand of attacking disciplined football, which was a delight. Luke Rooney must have been delighted to

The ramblings of BBC Devon’s Vic Morgan.. Freezing wasn’t it..? But worth the extra layers and numb toes and fingers. I set off from Devon at about half past one…no idea why, just had to be there early. Forgot my gloves, so had to buy some new ones. Went to the club shop to buy a coat, then the chippy.

The ramblings of BBC Devon’s Vic Morgan.. It can’t be often you loose and aren’t TOO disappointed about it. A trip to the east Midlands for an FA Cup Fourth Round tie, saw around 4,000 Town fans shout loud and proud at the King Power. I’m generally not one who talks about days out in football.

For our next entry into the Swindon Town Hall of Shame, Vic Morgan recalls one of the most shameful decisions taken by a Swindon Town board. Vic looks back to April 1985 when Lou Macari was wrongly dismissed to the anger of the Town faithful, then reinstated days later. It was Good Friday…a day of rest I thought. In those days

The ramblings of BBC Devon’s Vic Morgan.. You know when your team isn’t playing well, but you still win…? You leave the ground thinking, that could be the day when the footballing gods are smiling on us, and things are written..? Well, that was me last Saturday. I was telling anyone who cared to listen, and several who didn’t, that

The ramblings of BBC Devon’s Vic Morgan.. So then how cold were you at the Don Valley..? After a winter of Spring like temperatures, it was a case of wrap up and try to keep as warm as you could against the South Yorkshire chill. Great afternoon though. Our first and only visit to Rotherham’s temporary home, and a worthwhile

BBC Devon’s Vic Morgan continues his weekly blog only here on The Washbag. What a day… Saturday January the 7th 2012, will go down as one of the great days of Swindon Town’s recent history. Wigan Athletic came to the County Ground as favourites. They’re a Premier League team, and should get past a side from League Two. That was reinforced
