Reg, I looked that up. I reckon Preston must be one of the few teams I have never seen Swindon play.
Ex-Swindon player James Milner sticks one past the Jills!
Remember Bobby Charlton and Nobby Stiles at the CG managing Preston. It was an easy home victory, 2:0 or thereabouts. |

True, I'm afraid, Bert Head was manager when I started following the Town. First real memory was Don Rogers destroying West Ham in the F.A. Cup with Moore, Peters and Hurst in the team. John Trollope didn't get enough credit playing in the same team as Don. Those two almost had ESP. It's a great pity that most of Don's goals are not available in video. You used to see the alleged goal of the season and laugh, Don used to score incredible goals every three or four games. |

Sadly I just caught the end of the mid 80 early 90s gravy train and all the downhillness since.
Although I can I've seen us play in every division and I must have seen us play nearly every single league team. Alot of L1 teams on other forums like to take the piss out of us for our one season in the premiership but its better than to have got their once and been shit then to have never got there at all!
I do think its ruined our expectations a bit though because dont we all think deep down somewhere, right at the back of our minds it could happen again?
Better than being a Cheltenham or a Yeovil where mid table L1 is what they strive, wish and hope to be I suppose

That was a cracking second half.
Kettering v Fulham could be interesting.

That's the fixture of the round in my opinion. It'll be Derby's 2nd defence of the Brian Clough Trophy. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Clough_Trophy |

Perhaps we could do something similar with Motherwell. Play them and the loser gets The Malpas Atrophy ... |

I think Preston must now be the proper club, who we've not had a game against for the longest time...must go back to 85/86. Then we played them in Div 4 and they were just about the worst team I'd ever seen...had the present system been in place they'd have fallen into non league.
In fact we've only had 4 fixtures in the last 30+ years.
I had a look up at the records and back in 1975 we played them twice in the league within the space of 3 days.We won 1 - 0 at the CG with the great Peter Eastoe scoring and lost 2 - 0 at Deepdale 3 days later.I can't remember ever playing the same team in successive league games, but i suppose it was done so in the past,many moons ago? |
