Coca-Cola Cup - Semi Final Second Leg
Wednesday, March 8, 1995

Bolton Wanderers Swindon Town
J.McAteer (64'), M.Paatelainen (71'), J.McGinlay (88')
HT: 0-0

Bolton Wanderers win 4-3 on aggregate
J.Fjørtoft (57')
Attendance:  19,851   Referee:  I. Cruikshanks



 
After the originally scheduled match is postponed with the Town's supporters club coaches having reached Keele services, Swindon take a 2-1 lead for the rearranged fixture, but with a patched up defence missing Paul Bodin, Ian Culverhouse and the suspended Mark Robinson, the relegation threatened side expect an onslaught from promotion chasing Bolton. After a surprisingly tame first half, Swindon surprisingly add to their lead through Jan Fjortoft - but the goal triggers the home side to spring into action, and goals from Jason McAteer, Mixu Paatelainen and, inevitably, John McGinlay (the villain from the first leg) in the last half hour end the Town's Wembley dream. After the game, the Town fans are locked in on the away terrace, and are forced to watch the home side's celebrations, as the tannoy announcer does his best to incite a riot - thanking the Swindon team and fans for playing their part in such a great day. Until Brighton in 2004, my worst experience as a Swindon fan.
