History of the Swindon Town v Crewe Alexandra fixture

Swindon Town play host to Crewe Alexandra at County Ground on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Robins are clearly on top, winning 60.00% of the games played between the two.

The last time the two teams met at Swindon Town was just over four years ago, in December 2002, as the visitors ran out cosy 1-3 winners in a League Division Two match.
