Swindon 0-4 Man Utd XI
Pre season friendly, possibly Lou Macari's first game?
1st proper game Swindon 1-0 Stockport, Div 4 October 1985.

Chippenham away was Macaris first ever game, Chippenham made him very welcome with banners all round the ground welcoming him and we arrived in a mini bus  the Man U game (which finished 4-1) was a good one they had a fair few stars playing IIRC such as Blackmore, Hogg and Whiteside and Mark Dempsey scored for them who later that season came to us on loan. |

I think it was probably Fulham in FA Cup 1975, we won 5-0

Swindon v West Ham 28th Jan 1975 in one of the Cups. 27,000 crowd but lost 1-2. I was only 12 at the time and the first thing I witnessed was some Laaaaandan Geezer wearing platform shoes the size of my head, scarf on each wrist and stripey socks come head first crashing over the barrier of the terracing under the south stand with a couple of coppers in tow. Helmets everywhere.
I was hooked for life.

Looked it up on Swindon - Town - Fc and there is TV footage of the game. 30/08/69 v Charlton 5-0....I just couldn`t believe it. 20,000 crowd and Don Rogers was amazing.....and that was that been in me ever since. Never lived in Swindon but where ever I have lived I have always seen them play. Worth watching the highlights again and again....tears to my eye

Probably as one of the older TEF readers -my first game was on 11th February 1956 versus Coventry City, drew 1-1! Sat on the benches in front of the very old Shrivvy Road stand (pre the Aldershot tattoo one!) with Michael "Tubby" Rowe as it was his birthday. Was hooked from then on in and saw some absolute dire rubbish in the 50's until Bert Head came along and got us up and running in the early 60's. Got to say I have probably gone through every emotion there is where the Town are concerned over the years, but when anyone asks me who I support my reply is Swindon Town and England in that order!  |

Bottom of Division 3 (South) in your first season. The only way was up, down, up, up, down, down, up, down, up after that!
