Sure I read somewhere that it’s nearly 10 years since we got further than the 1st round of the Caribou Cup.
Its been since 14-15 season when we reached round 2. We have only been to round 2 twice and round 3 once in the last 10 years in the FA cup too so 7 1st round knockouts. Swindon was always renown for being cup underdogs but this century we have been anything but that. |

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.

We badly need a good cup run to galvanize the club and fans and beat some big sides, Flynn has a decent record in the cups TBF to him, Lindsey and Garner both never seemed very bothered about a cup run. |

Interesting fact I found while checking some things yesterday.
Last season was only the 4th time in 40 years and the 5th time in 100 years that we have had a club leading league goal scorer (Williams on 10 league goals) who had scored 10 goals, or less, league goals in the whole season.
The others being
2001 Grazioli and Invincible 8 goals each
2013 Ranger, Smith and N'Guessan 8 goals each
2016 Obika and Norris 6 goals each
I think that shows

You have to be aware that, pretty much by definition, 10 league goals is NOT fewer than, or under if that's how you want to describe it, 10 goals. So that's not a fact. |
