When he discovers that the Town's home game against Wigan clashes with his wedding, fan Mike Rogers writes to the club to ask if they would consider rearranging - and they duly oblige, moving the game to be played on the Sunday. Swindon do the business on the pitch as well - goals from Dave Bamber, Mark Jones and Chris Kamara sealing the points.
