History of the Swindon Town v Gillingham fixture

Swindon Town play host to Gillingham at County Ground on Tuesday evening, looking to continue an impressive record. The Robins are clearly on top, having won 25 and lost only 5 of the 40 games.

The last time the two teams met at Swindon Town was well over fifteen years ago, back in May 1987, with Swindon Town running out comfortable 2-0 winners in a League Play-Offs (Lvl 3) match.
