History of the Swindon Town v Stockport County fixture

Swindon Town are ready to welcome Stockport County to County Ground on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Robins are clearly on top, having won 9 and lost only 3 of the 15 games.

The previous match played between the two at County Ground was within the last three years, in August 2006, with Swindon Town running out comfortable 2-0 winners in a League Two match.

Swindon Town are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 23 points from 23 matches. Stockport Co. lie just outside the playoff positions in the Coca-Cola League One, picking up 37 from their 23 games so far.
