Previous Meetings 

Thankfully Reading have beaten Swindon Town overall with 35 wins through the years - positively loads more than Swindon Town's probably very lucky 33 wins over the Royals.
Reading wins: 35
Draws: 24
Swindon Town wins: 33

The last time the two sides met was earlier this season when Reading comfortably beat Swindon 2-0 - our first game of the season at the Madejski Stadium:
19 August 2000: Reading 2 Swindon Town 0
That match was the first time the two sides had met since Reading were relegated from the First Division. Our games in the 1997/1998 season in the First Division saw a share of the points with both sides winning away from home. We won on aggregate though. :-)
17 January 1998: Swindon Town 0 Reading 2
