Future Town player Tim Parkin gives Rovers the lead, but he equalises with an own goal just a minute later - and ex-Swindon hardman Brian Williams concedes a penalty then gets himself sent off, as a 5-2 win over Rovers moves the Town clear of the dropzone. The headlines are made off the pitch though, as a police officer is injured and 29 people are arrested in violent clashes between the supporters. |
