History of the Brighton & Hove Albion v Swindon Town fixture

Brighton & HA are ready to welcome Swindon Town to Withdean Stadium on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Seagulls are clearly on top, having won 26 and lost only 11 of the 51 games.

The previous match played between the two at Withdean Stadium was more than three years back, in May 2004, with Swindon Town inflicting a narrow 1-2 defeat upon the Seagulls in an Football League Play-Offs (Lvl 3) match.
