10,472 packed into the County Ground, and with only 100 or so away fans it was the seasons best attendance by a long way beating the Bristol Rovers game. The Stratton Bank was also open to home fans as well.

Swindon made a good start with Blair Sturrock hitting the post after 3 minutes, only for Lee Peacock to try the rebound, but his shot only found Barry Corr who scored to make it 1-0 to Swindon on 4 minutes.

Swindon came close again hitting the post for a second time, and having most of the play.

Swindon made it 2-0 on 38 minutes after a corner which was taken by Zaaboub was headed in by a Mansfield player for an own goal.

Phil Smith had to make a good save just before half time, but that was about the only time Mansfield ever had a chance to score all game.

In the second half Corr came close again, and Roberts also should have scored but he over hit his shot so much it ended up in the car park.

Sturrock also should have scored, but his shot was saved when he only had the 'keeper to beat, but Swindon ended the game winning 2-0 which was greeted at the end which a pitch invasion by some Swindon fans although Swindon haven't been promoted yet as Milton Keynes also won. If Milton Keynes were to win both games, and Swindon were to lose both remaining games then both sides would be on 84 points and it would go down to goal difference.
