Swindon Town face a trip to Blackpool at Bloomfield Road on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Robins will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them taste defeat on 8 occassions, and draw 5, from the 14 games played.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in August 2002, when they played out a goalless draw in a League Division Two match.
