Any Previous? Swindon v Latics - February 2021

 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.
