Swindon Town Stockport County

HT: 0-0
Attendance:  14,697   Referee:  K. Breen



 
The County Ground is packed, ready to see the champions receive the Division Two trophy - but the Town can't win on the final day to put the icing on the cake, and Stockport's hopes of making the play-offs are dashed.
