Port Vale pack their bags to visit Swindon Town at County Ground on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Valiants will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 18 and win only 8 of the 34 games.
The previous match played between the two at County Ground was within the last three years, in October 2005, with Port Vale inflicting a narrow 1 - 2 defeat upon the Robins in a League One match.
