History of the Swindon Town v Oldham Athletic fixture

Swindon Town prepare to entertain Oldham Athletic at County Ground on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Robins are clearly on top, winning 52.94% of the games played between the two.

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