about 78/79 took a qpr school friend, and about 25 mins before kick off about 20  "bigger boys" wearing town scarves (but oxford hoolies) came in, looked around and started swinging, one aimed for me I ducked and my mate got a nice broken nose, never been back since, inspired my mate to take up karate, and he ended up in the top 2 or 3 in england and a qpr fan to boot

what did you all do with your childhood!!

There were even a couple of 4-1 wins in the mid to late 90s.

You've all missed out, bloody youngsters

1969,.... Ron and Graham Atkinson played for Oxford.  

John Smith and Ron Atkinson went at it like a couple of sumo wrestlers.  Final score 0:0.

I think it was the 2-0 'turbo brace' at the manor. Probably my favourite ever STFC game

That was my first one too. For some reason I still remember queueing for agaes for a bag af Fruit Pastilles as they ran oput of almost everything else! Great game and Oxford were never even in it until they went down to 9 men and we sat back!

The best part was this scummer on the bus on the way to the ground explaining to people how they were blatantly going to lose  Cheesy

Dec 97 when we beat them 4-1 at the County Ground.

Ace goal from Ty Gooden from memory; he couldn't score a simple one; "Walking in a Finney Wonderland" being sung (he scored the 4th 1 think).

Bizarrly; having gone for 31 years now that's the only Swindon Oxford game i've ever seen live!

I recall my first was in the 70s (still at school).  It was a mid-week game and we won 2-0.

Been to loads of the games with the scum.  Two stick in my mind and they were both at the Manor.  The 4-1 and 2-0 (last game at the manor) wins.

Christmas 1976 Home game 1 - 0 Colin Prophett about 12 or 13 thousand there and rather a lot of trouble which as a 10 year old was pretty scarey.

But my favourite game against them was in 1990 4 - 2 away win Simpson, Foley, Shearer 2 scoring.

Ah happy days.

I have seen Swindon vs Pox 16 times live now and never seen us get beaten by them!

The only time I have seen us get beat by them was watching on TV against them last time.

My memory might be going, but wasn't it during this match (it might have been the 4-1 victory the following season) that Swindon's finest waded into Stratton Bank and started batoning any Oxford fans in sight. Completely out of order really but highly amusing nonetheless
