Swindon Town AFC Bournemouth

HT: 0-0
Attendance:  6,790   Referee:  P. Taylor



 
Reinstated Town boss Andy King receives what the Swindon Advertiser referred to as "a reception usually reserved for the pantomime villain" on his first match back in charge - three players are sent off as Swindon and the Cherries play out a feisty goalless draw.
