Since turning professional in 1894, the club has enjoyed short periods of relative success, most notably, during the period 1968–1970 when they won the 1969 League Cup (defeating Arsenal at Wembley Stadium) and also won promotion to the Second Division. League Cup success earned the club its first invitations to European competitions, but instead of going into the UEFA cup the league decreed that the club was too small to enter such a big tournament, so instaed they went into the 1969 Anglo-Italian League Cup and 1970 Anglo-Italian Cup, with Swindon winning both.

In 1969 Swindon beat Arsenal 3–1 to win the League Cup for the first and only time in the club's history.^[3][4] As winners of the League Cup, Swindon were assured of a place in their first European competition: the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup. However, the Football Association had previously agreed to inclusion criteria with the organizers which mandated that only League Cup winners from Division One would be able to take part. As the team were not eligible, the short lived Anglo-Italian competitions were created to give teams from lower divisions experience in Europe. The first of these, the 1969 Anglo-Italian League Cup, was contested over two legs against Coppa Italia winners A.S. Roma. Swindon won 5–2, with the scorer of two goals in the League Cup final - Don Rogers - scoring once and new acquisition Arthur Horsfield acquiring his first hat-trick for the club.^[5] The team then went on to win the 1970 Anglo-Italian Cup competition in a tournament beset by hooliganism.

Following management changes, Swindon had a long unsuccessful period culminating in them being relegated in 1982 to the Fourth Division, the lowest professional Football League at the time. They were eventually promoted as champions in 1986 with the club achieving a Football League record of 102 points, the first club to score over 100 points in a season.^[7] A year later they won the Second Division play-offs to achieve a second successive promotion.^[8] Promotion campaign Manager Lou Macari left in 1989 to take charge of West Ham United with veteran midfielder, and former Argentine international, Ossie Ardiles replacing him. In his first season Swindon were Second Division play-off winners,^[9] but the club later admitted 36 charges of breaching league rules, 35 due to illegal payments made to players, and were relegated to the Third Division — giving Sunderland promotion to the First Division and Tranmere Rovers to the Second Division. The scandal saw then chairman Brian Hillier being given a six-month prison sentence and chief accountant Vince Farrar being put on probation.

The club has then had eight managers in nearly eight years (Andy King was appointed twice), during which time they were relegated back into Division Two. They fully finished 5th in the 2003–04 season but failed in the promotion play-off stage and stayed in the same league, now renamed League One. // Stephen McMahon (born August 20, 1961 in Liverpool) was one of the toughest midfield football players of his generation who galvanised the outstanding Liverpool team of the late 1980s. ...

Crest

The 1970 "Steam Train" crest

Swindon Town have used at least five different kit badges since their inception.^[24] The original badge depicted a Robin inside a shield with the letters STFC in the four corners, this changed to the "Steam Train" badge which was a coat of arms for the club based heavily on the coat of arms used by the local council.^[25] The "Steam Train" badge was in the form of a traditional shield, bisected with the club's name, a train (as Swindon is a Railway town), a football and with a Robin sitting on top. Beneath the shield was a motto on a scroll - 'Salubritas et Industria' - meaning 'health and industry'.^[25] This motto is also that of the town of Swindon itself.^[26] Image File history File links No higher resolution available. ...

The "traffic sign" badge used from the mid–1970s until 1986

During the 1970s the club changed the badge to one referred to as the "ST arrow" or "traffic sign" badge.^[27] This was circular and had the letters 'S' and 'T' interlocked, which both ends of the letter 'S' being made into an arrow. Also shown was a simple football and the club name.^[25] Image File history File links STFCtrafficsignbadge. ... Image File history File links STFCtrafficsignbadge. ...

Following the 1985–86 season, the "Steam Train" badge was re-introduced onto the kits. The crest was re-styled and the text "Division Four Champions 1985/1986" replaced the motto.^[25]

A diamond shaped crest for Swindon Town was introduced at the beginning of the 1991–92 season following a series of financial problems for the club. The idea behind the new crest was to give the club a 'brand new' and 'fresh' image following a difficult period in its history.^[25]

The 'diamond' crest unveiled in 1991

"The 'travelling' football represents the club that is looking to the future with successful progress. The diamond shape clearly has the letter 'S' (for Swindon) running through it, while a green section was also introduced to match a new 'green trim' on the team's home (red and white) shirts."^[25]

On April 5, 2007 the club unveiled plans to change the badge claiming the diamond badge was correct for the time but did not represent or show any of the clubs heritage or history.^[28] Swindon offered fans the chance to vote on-line for the three new choices, which were all similar to the original steam train design, and a fourth option of keeping the 1991 design.

"The new colours of the Swindon Town F.C. are to be green shirts, with white sleeves. Good-bye to the old well known red and black."^[1]

With problems obtaining green dyes, the kit was short-lived and Swindon Town changed their shirts to the more familiar red in 1901.^[1] Initially a dark maroon, a lighter shade was chosen for the start of the 1902–03 season and also resulted in the club's nickname "the Robins" appearing in print for the first time in programme notes for the first game.^[30] The nickname is a reference to the former name of the European Robin - "Redbreast". Binomial name (Linnaeus, 1758) Subspecies 7-10, see text. ...

Swindon Town have played their home games in variations on the red and white theme since then, wearing a red shirt with white collars and white or red shorts for much of their history which has led to the team being known as the "Red and White Army". For example; the kit worn during the 1985–86 Division Four Champions season consisted of a red shirt with white pinstripes, white shorts and red socks and chants of "Lou Macari's Red and White Army" were heard from the supporters at the final stages of the season. Luigi Lou Macari (born June 7, 1949 in Edinburgh) to Italian immigrant parents was a Scottish footballer and football manager. ...

Following the club being re-branded in 1991, green elements were re-introduced onto the Home Strip and badge to represent the team's short-lived kit from the turn of the century. These were removed in 2007.^[31]

Away Kit

The club's away kits have only begun to change since the 1990s and the advent of the lucrative replica kit market. Swindon's original away kit (that was entirely separate to the home kit) consisted of an all-blue strip, this was not used for the club's 1969 League Cup Final victory where they elected to wear an all-white strip. The 1969 Football League Cup Final took place on 15 March 1969 at Wembley Stadium. ...

For a period in the 1980s the club changed their away kit to white shirts and black shorts and introduced a new third kit of yellow shirts and blue shorts.^[32] The club alternated between these two schemes as its away kit for the 1980s.

When the club re-branded in the 1991 close season, it introduced a new away strip; the white and green "potato print" shirt with dark blue shorts,^[33] this remained in use until its replacement in 1993 with another yellow and blue strip, integrating the new colour scheme by adding a green collar.^[34]

A special third kit was added for the 1996–97 season and was coloured "Petrol green" in honour of the then sponsors Castrol. Castrol is a brand of industrial and automotive lubricants which is applied to a large range of oil products for most lubrication applications. ...

Swindon wore black and gold striped away shirts for the 2003–04 season with an all-white third kit, following this with variants on the blue theme until returning to all-white in 2007.^[31]

Thomas Arkell of Arkell's Brewery donated £300 to finance the construction of a stand on what was then known as the 'Wiltshire County Ground', this investment was enough to begin development of a purpose built football ground. Since its original construction, the ground has been periodically updated with new features or fittings. A cover on the Shrivenham Road side was erected in 1932, followed by the current roof at the Town End. This cost £4,300, which was raised by the Supporters Club, and was opened on 27 August 1938 by local MP, W.W.

The addition of floodlights in 1951 at a cost of £350, gave Swindon the honour of being the first League club to do so. These were first tried out v. Bristol City on 2 April 1951 beating Arsenal by six months. These original set of lights were supplemented by lights on both side stand roofs, which were sufficient for the County Ground to stage its first floodlit league match on 29 February 1956 v. Millwall. (7 days after Fratton Park became the 1st ground to stage a floodlit league fixture).

The ground itself is on land owned by Swindon Borough Council to whom the club pay rent. Swindon have in the past considered a move to a club owned stadium to generate more revenue, but have not had the financial backing to do so. In 2006 a redevelopment campaign for the County Ground began,^[39] with the club and TrustSTFC (the supporters' trust) raising a petition to 'Save Our Home' urging the Borough Council to "facilitate the redevelopment of the stadium and do everything they can to keep the club within the Borough"^[22] including the proposed upgrading of the adjacent Cricket Club to County standard and Athletic Club to Olympic standard.

Supporters

Average home attendances since 1889

As an expanding railway town, the club had attendances of up to 32,000 on match days until the early 1970s. Due to Swindon's low unemployment rate (one of the lowest in the United Kingdom),^[40] more people work in the town than live there and so are unlikely to support the team.^[41] In addition; poor team performances, the financial instability in the club and the change to an all-seated stadium following the Taylor Report have led to attendances at the County Ground dropping.

"It's only just over a decade ago that Swindon were a Premiership side, but the past 10 years have been tough going for fans at the County Ground. Relegation from the top flight in 1994 was followed by a second successive drop, and although promotion from Division Two was secured a year later, the team struggled in Division One in the next three seasons, finishing 19th, 18th and 17th. In 2000 came relegation, and a year later Swindon avoided another 'double relegation' by just one point. A glimmer of hope came when the play-offs were reached in 2004 - ending in a semi-final loss to Brighton - but last term Town became the first club to drop into the bottom tier of the Football League having once been in the Premiership. We bet Robins' fans can hardly believe it."^[53]

With the dwindling support during matches in the 2004–05 season, another fans' group "Red Army Loud and Proud" was formed.^[54] Red Army Loud and Proud is a small group of fans attempting to bring back the atmosphere and fun to match days. With the stated aim of being "the 12th man on the pitch",^[54] the group sponsors players and also provides large colourful flags to the matches.

Hooliganism

Swindon Town has had problems with Hooliganism since the 1970s, with the first known group being called the Swindon Town Aggro Boys (STAB).^[55] In a home game against Wrexham in March 1978, STAB were responsible for pelting the opposing goalkeeper with carrots.^[55] Club chairman Cecil Green later proclaimed: "We intend to stamp out this thuggery. The incidents were diabolical."^[55] A new hooligan gang emerged in the 1980s; the Southside Scuffing Firm (SSF) who were named after the area of terracing they occupied.^[55] In a match at Northampton Town, then manager Lou Macari walked straight into a group of more than 100 SSF members chasing Northampton fans up the street. Macari said the incident was "worse than a Celtic-Rangers game".^[55] Football hooliganism (sometimes described as the English Disease) is hooliganism by football club supporters. ...

Rivalries

In 2003, a poll between supporters of all Football League clubs into the teams they see as their main rivals was conducted by the Football Fans Census, the results of the poll put Swindon in joint 13th place of the teams with most rivals.^[68] This was calculated on the amount of other clubs that consider Swindon Town to be their first, second or third main rivals. Historically, Swindon's main rivals are the other West Country teams of Bristol City, Bristol Rovers and Reading. Oxford joined the list in the 1960s following their promotion to the league.

Local Rivals

• Oxford United - The subject of Swindon fans' most intense rivalry. A large number of terrace chants from both Oxford and Swindon refer to this, whether they are playing each other or not. The survey of 2003 revealed that amongst other names, Swindon fans called Oxford United "Poxford"^[68] whilst Oxford called Swindon Town "moonrakers".^[68]
• Bristol City - Although both sets of clubs have bigger rivals this is a rivalry that intensifies when the two clubs are in the same division, especially around fixture time. Bristol City dub Swindon, "Swindle" or "Swinedon" whereas Swindon fans see City as above their station in the sense that many City fans feel they are a bigger club than they probably are.

Main Rivals

• Bristol Rovers - The club's second oldest rivals. Swindon first played competitive football against Bristol Rovers in the Western League in 1897. Rovers' election to the Southern League in 1899 saw the two clubs playing against each other in the same division until 1953.
• Reading - The club's oldest rivals. Swindon first played competitive football against Reading in 1892. Due to Reading's movement through the leagues the rivalry has abated and they are not considered to be a constant target for terrace chants.

Other Rivalries

• Gillingham - There is an ongoing feud between fans dating back to 1979,^[69] when several Gillingham players were arrested and taken to Swindon police station for questioning after a post-match fracas at the County Ground.^[70] Seven Swindon fans appeared in court following match day violence in 2006.^[71]

• MK Dons - Milton Keynes Dons fans consider Swindon to be their biggest rivals as they were the most vocal against football franchising and addition to this both teams are contenders for promotion to League One in the 2006–07 season after being relegation rivals the previous season. Swindon Fans do not seriously consider them as rivals, although there is a lot of ill feeling towards them.
• Leeds United - When Dennis Wise and Gus Poyet left the County Ground for Elland Road it sparked a hatred of Leeds. The two teams will face each other in League One during the 2007–08 season (the first time since May 7, 1994 in the Premiership and for the first time ever in the third division).
