I'm dragging a Spurs fan and a Liverpool fan to this one. Any recommendations for a pub to watch the game after and get a bite to eat? Nearer the train station the better.

Legends Lounge had been opening after games and lets be honest, you won't be out the ground till 5:05 at least the way things are going.
Failing that the tap is about half way.

I was thinking of the tap but wasn't sure they did food. I suppose almost everywhere does these days. I don't care if we miss the start  Cheers |

The drink valley opposite sir Daniel. Good microbrewery pub that does sports and decent curry. |

Doesn't have to be that near the station really, I just know what I'm like with too much fresh air after a skinful!
The Drink Valley looks a good option, thanks molepar.

The drink valley is very good. Quite a few town fans head there before games now. Prices are reasonable, I drink Paulaner (German Pilsner) which is excellent & costs £4.20. The owners are very friendly & can recommend other beers to drink, he does brew his own. I can't speak highly enough of the place. |

If we can get through Saturdays game undefeated then we equal the all time Swindon record for longest unbeaten starts to a season, this dates back to 1995/96 unde MacMahon when we went 9 games unbeaten.
A Hull City 1-0 w
H York City 3-0 w
A Carlisle Utd 1-0 w
H Oxford Utd 1-1 d
A Brentford 2-0 w
H Chesterfield 1-1 d
H Bradford C 4-1 w
A Bristol Rvrs 4-1 w
H Rotherham U 1-0 w
A run that saw us sit 4 points clear at the top of Div 2 on 23 points.
Before we eventually lost 3-4 at Wrexham which was our only defeat until the 25th November a 0-1 defeat at Shrewsbury.
That was our last defeat that calendar year, in fact until mid January, a run of 13 wins, 8 draws and just the 2 defeats scoring 39 goals and conceding just 15 in the process which included, Wrexham accounted for 27% of that total.
We won the league that year on 92 points, 9 points clear of 2nd place Oxford and suffered just 4 defeats all season (another club record).

We managed 5, twice, in the Wellens season, not got beyond 3 in any season since then as far as I can see. |
