It was, yes.
A little more research shows that the game was originally scheduled for Sep 2000 - when the fuel shortages were happening. The game was rearranged for the end of the following month.

I remember we played them in about 2002ish on a tuesday and it was one of the worst crowds i think i've ever seen at swindon(not including tin pot cups and charity games, etc.), must have been 4,500 tops.
and that is all.
Possibly one of the games below 31/10/2000 Swindon 3 Cambridge 1 att:3,452 24/20/2001 Swindon 2 Cambridge 0 att: 4,882 |

It shows how our crowds have wandered about, I went to a Coca Cola cup game in August 1995 on a Tuesday night and according to the interweb there were nearly 7k there. TBF I'd hate us if I'd lost to a rare Joey Beauchamp goal. https://townenders.com/match.php?match_id=19960702 |

Not a bad crowd for a coca-cola cup game against a minnow in August😁 |

He’ll mean the 2000 one. One of if not the first game with King in charge and some of the Arkell’s stand roof fell off before the match so half of that was closed. Smallest league crowd we’ve had since the 80’s I’d imagine excluding the Covid games. |

Yeah I was young them.... only time I have ever sat in the Arkell's as an adult and ended up sat behind an old woman who had bought a cushion from home who spent the entire game berating the referee for being easy on Cambridge 'Because they have a university and we don't'! |

It’s now Wednesday evening. When does the certificate have to be issued by? I would assume the EFL will have a deadline? |

They are confident it's in hand. I can't see that being wrong, but it's a bit bloody close!

" Just as I said on an earlier post, the orange brigade, have been starved of things to moan and knock Clem. Just trying to stir up more controversy over nothing. " " So STFC need to do some work and are doing the work. Is there a story here? If they don’t do the work and Saturdays game is off that’s a story. At the moment it’s just shirt stirring by the orange brigade off the back of an opening day defeat " " Is there any chance that SA or the Spirit of 69 could post about the installation of Stoma friendly toilets at the County Ground? Of course they couldn't because that would amount to reporting something positive! " FUCKING UNREAL. These are REAL comments by the way  |

I saw one yesterday saying that SBC have been desperate to find something wrong with the CG since they sold it. Comedy
