Having lived In their territory all my life, they dream of these stories.
I even know hardcore Pox fans and they never recount the tales. Yes the gates did get broken at Swindon when Rideout put the ball in through the smoke but they never went on a rampage that they claim. Our car was in the CG carpark and never saw any bother.
Seen the odd pavement dancing and bravado but whilst the hatred is intense, worse games for trouble against the bigger clubs, Millwall, Pompey, Bristol City and Cardiff.
Just adds to why I detest them, they are deluded and the fact that they have had the upper hand in recent years with results depresses me.
Fucking spot on.
The Pox millennials need to understand that prior to their winning run against us the win ratio was 24 to us and a measly 9 to them.
Absolutely this. They never came to the CG and gave us a good game and we always had a good game there except for the 5-0 defeat in 82 our relegation season.
In 60 games Town have won 23 and Pox only 16 with 21 draws, we have scored 82 and conceded 66.
It took them 8 attempts to beat us in any competition, and 13 attempts in the league to register their first win against us.
In the first 27 meeting between Town and Pox they won just 2 times right up until 1982, it then took then another 11 games to get another win in 1996.
In recent years in away games we have had less luck with just 3 wins from the last 13 games played up there in the wild dirty North, with 10 ending in defeats.
Prior to 1996 Pox had only won 4 games with Swindon won 6 with the other 12 ending as draws.
I would welcome a draw but they are not one of the better sides and easily beatable without defensive/goalkeeping slip ups, cut those out and we won't lose.
