Gillingham Swindon Town
D.Kedwell (26'), C.Whelpdale (52', 90' pen)
 HT: 1-0 A.McCormack (81')
Attendance:  6,390 (1,245 away fans)   Referee:  S. Rushton



 
A row between the Gillingham chairman and Kent Police over policing costs threatens to put the potentially crucial end of season clash behind closed doors.

 
After Paolo di Canio names a much-changed starting line-up as punishment for the players who went out drinking, the Town limp over the line to promotion - despite losing 3-1, results elsewhere ensure they cannot be caught.
