We have never won or drawn at Ellen Road as far as I can remember if you dont count extra time.
Plough Lane maybe ...
Layer Road ...

From the station at Colchester
To the cells of Warrington
From the services at Leicester
To the slums of Northampton
We travel over England
And one day Europe too
Cos we all follow the Swindon
We're the famous Town End crew.

Funnily enough Dorchester have had two grounds, both called 'The Avenue' within a fairly close distance.
The old one closed in 1990, so if you've seen them win at Dorchester since then it won't count for Reg's original question.
I have to admit that I have no idea about our record against Dorchester, i'm purely going on Reg's author clue.

Is the newer The Avenue where we drew when we played Bournemouth and Keith O'Halloran broke his leg?
Have we ever played Dorchester at the old one?

That was at the New version of the ground in 2001. I can't find any record of any fixtures between Swindon and Dorchester before 1997. |

We have definately played and won at the old ground as I remember it, it was around 78-81 time a 2-0 win if I remember rightly.

Yep Avenue Stadium, Dorchester.
The question needs slight modification to catch our last draw at the Dell in 1958.
Sarfend played at somewhere like Grainger Road in the 50's, don't think out record was too hot there.
