Swindon Town travel to take on Rochdale at Spotland on Saturday afternoon, and will hope to continue their unbeaten record at the ground. Half of the previous meetings have ended in a win, and the other half in a draw for Robins.
The last time the two teams met at Rochdale was amazingly over twenty years ago, in March 1986, with Swindon Town inflicting a narrow 1 - 2 defeat upon the Dale in a Fourth Division match.
