History of the Swindon Town v Bournemouth fixture

Swindon Town prepare to entertain Bournemouth at County Ground on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Robins are clearly on top, having won 29 and lost only 11 of the 50 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at County Ground was just last season, in January 2004, the Robins carving out a narrow 2-1 victory in a League Division Two match.
