Swindon prepare to entertain Stockport County at County Ground on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Robins are clearly on top, having won 7 and lost only 2 of the 12 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at County Ground was just last season, in August 2002, with Stockport inflicting a narrow 0-1 defeat upon the Robins in a League Division Two match.
