Ever since our famous 1998 cup win at the County Ground, our record against Swindon Town has left a lot to be desired; almost as if the Robins were out for revenge. After a run of four straight defeats to the Wiltshire team, we rediscovered that winning touch in early 2014. Not that it has stuck as much as we’d like; Boro’ still with much ground in the head-to-head stakes to make up. There’s still yet to be a draw between us though.
And we mean a proper draw. Not the Football League Trophy area semi-final that ended up with a winner on pelanties. We mean a draw that’s both teams going away happy…

Swindon Town Travel Information – Distance: 30 miles
By Road
The M4 is most convenient for getting to Swindon. But it first requires passage along the A1(M) and M25. Once on the westbound M4, sit back and enjoy the views of Slough and Reading; there is not much to report until you reach Junction 15 in the heart of Wiltshire.
At Junction 15, take the A4259 Queens Drive towards Swindon town centre. Continue across one roundabout, before taking the first exit at the next one. This’ll be the A4312 towards Swindon and signposted “Football Traffic”. The ground is on the corner of the Magic Roundabout.
There are some spaces up for grabs at the stadium, which will cost you £10. But why do that and chance it if you can park in one of the many town centre car parks within half a miles of the ground? You could also find some street parking in the area too.
