Any Previous? Swindon Town v Latics

 

Latics and Swindon have met 13 times down the years, we have five wins to Swindon’s four.

 

The first meeting came in the 1986/87 season, Lou Macari was in charge at the County Ground and we met four times that campaign, first two coming in the league, a win a piece, the next two were in the playoffs for a place in English Football’s second tier.

 

The first leg was at Springfield Park, Latics raced into a two goal lead with efforts from Chris Thompson and David Lowe, but the appearance of the Northern Lights over the Shevington End proved to be a bad omen and Swindon fought back to 2:2 and then scored a late winner to take a lead into the 2^nd leg, that game ended goalless and Swindon gained promotion.

Memorable Match Swindon 1:4 Latics

Good Friday 2016, the last meeting between the clubs, the County Ground Swindon was supposedly a potential banana skin, but Latics swaggered into town put in a memorable performance and, courtesy of two goals from Will Grigg and one each from Max Power and Sam Morsy, recorded an important win one our way to picking up the League 1 title.
