Founded in 1879, Swindon Town are based in the town of Swindon. The League Cup was won in 1968/69, after earlier Southern League championships. A Fourth Division title followed in 1985/86. The archive's detailed league results begin at 1992/93, immediately before Swindon's Premier League entry.

The play-offs and a difficult first autumn

Swindon's play-off victory preceded the top-flight campaign. The County Ground was their home throughout the league season held here. Swindon's Premier League coverage consists of that single campaign rather than a series of returns.

Swindon went without a league win through the opening autumn, from August until November. That run covered 15 matches, the club's longest stretch without a league victory in the archived results. A shorter unbeaten sequence during September reached only 2 matches, without ending the longer run of games without a win.

Winter victories and a bottom-place finish

The longest winning sequence came later, beginning in January and continuing into February. It consisted of successive victories, rather than an extended winning run through the remainder of the season.

The club's biggest league win among the published results was a 3–1 result against Coventry City at home. Their heaviest defeat came away to Newcastle United, where the score finished 1–7. Those results belong to the same campaign, with no later Premier League season in this part of the record.

Home victories were more frequent than away wins across the completed season, while away draws slightly outnumbered those at the County Ground. Defeats were the most frequent outcome in both settings, rather than either wins or draws.

The away win total was only 1, below the number of victories at the County Ground. The final league points return was 30, accompanied by a negative goal difference. Their place in the final table meant relegation after the opening Premier League campaign. Swindon's latest covered season remains 1993/94, when they finished bottom.
