History of the Swindon Town v Tranmere Rovers fixture

Swindon Town prepare to entertain Tranmere Rovers at County Ground on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Robins are clearly on top, having won 16 and lost only 3 of the 26 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at County Ground was less than a year ago, in April 2005, the Robins carving out a narrow 2-1 victory in a League One match.
