It’s Friday, so it must be time for the latest blog by BBC Devon’s Vic Morgan. It has been quite a week I think you’ll agree. Last Saturday the journey from Devon to the County Ground began in almost spring like sunshine. I think that particular season disappeared at around twenty past three when the heavens opened and the hurricane

It’s Friday, so it must be time for the latest blog by BBC Devon’s Vic Morgan. So it goes on. Swindon Town’s wretched away form continues and so does the gentle meander down the league table. To be honest I didn’t leave Devon with high hopes last Saturday, more a feeling of the inevitable. That’s how it turned out. A cold

Vic Morgan spares few words in describing another miserable away performance; as Swindon Town were defeated at our Kent rivals Gillingham. After Swindon’s dismal Tuesday defeat at Stevenage, over 300 Town fans travelled to Kent hoping for better against their old rivals. History wasn’t on the Wiltshire team’s side. It was 1986 when the Town last won at the Priestfield

It’s Friday, so it must be time for the latest blog by BBC Devon’s Vic Morgan. It has been yet another frustrating week in the life of a Swindon Town fan.

It’s Friday, so it must be time for the latest blog by BBC Devon’s Vic Morgan. It’ll be nearly a fortnight since Swindon Town have played a game.

It’s Friday, so it must be time for the latest blog by BBC Devon’s Vic Morgan. Hope your festivities were good whichever winter celebration you keep. For our football team there was the promise of Coventry being sent home pointless, before we were buzzed by the promotion chasing Bees of West London. Saturday’s home game against the Sky Blues started in

It’s Friday, so it must be time for the latest blog by BBC Devon’s Vic Morgan. A very long day, yes a very long day. Last Saturday dragged and included a very dull game at Bramall Lane. You get those types of matches of course in football. Not every match can be full of thrills and spills and those two particular aspects were

It’s Friday, so it must be time for the latest blog by BBC Devon’s Vic Morgan. So then here we go just a couple of games from another trip to that Wem-ber-lee. I know we have the little matter of two matches against Peterborough to go through first, but don’t tell me you haven’t thought of getting back to the big arch and

It’s Friday, so it must be time for the latest blog by BBC Devon’s Vic Morgan. Let’s get the important stuff out of the way first. The three-one win over Carlisle United was welcome and deserved. It wasn’t the most thrilling game we’ve ever seen, in fact at times it would have been more enjoyable painting a seat and watching
