History of the Swindon Town v Tranmere Rovers fixture

Swindon Town prepare to entertain Tranmere Rovers at County Ground on Wednesday evening, looking to continue an impressive record. The Robins are clearly on top, having won 13 and lost only 3 of the 23 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at County Ground was just last season, in November 2002, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a League Division Two match.
