Swindon Town travel to devon to play Torquay United at Plainmoor this Saturday backed by 1,000 plus fans.

Vital Quotes:

‘There is a danger this weekend that’s for sure. We don’t want it to be a case of after the lord mayors show because people were all impressed with last weekend’s performance. We cannot just turn up at Torquay and expect it to happen.’

Swindon Town Manager Paul Sturrock
