==Statistics and records== {{Further|List of Swindon Town F.C. records and statistics}} [[John Trollope (footballer)|John Trollope]] holds the record for Swindon Town appearances, having played 889 first-team matches between 1960 and 1980. Trollope also holds the [[Football records in England|English Football League Record]] of most appearances by a player at one club, having played in 770 League games.<ref name="trollope">{{Cite web|url=http://www.swindontownfc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/LegendsDetail/0,,10341~105163,00.html|title=John Trollope|access-date=15 February 2007|publisher=Swindon Town Football Club|work=Legends|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20051202072545/http://www.swindontownfc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/LegendsDetail/0,,10341~105163,00.html|archive-date=2 December 2005}}</ref> Central defender [[Maurice Owen]] comes second, having played 601 times. The record for a goalkeeper is held by [[Sam Burton]], who is third with 509 appearances. [[Harry Morris (footballer, born 1897)|Harry Morris]] holds all of Swindon's goal records, having scored 229 goals for the club between 1926 and 1933.<ref name="swindonwebfacts"/> [[Harold John Fleming|Harold Fleming]] is second with 203, with [[Don Rogers (footballer)|Don Rogers]] third with 178. Morris scored the most goals in a season with 48 during 1926β27, 47 of which were in League games which is another club record. The most goals scored by an individual is also held by Morris and Keith East, who have both scored 5 against League opposition (Morris having achieved this in 1926 and 1930). The highest attendance at the County Ground of 32,000 was recorded on 15 January 1972 in a [[FA Cup|FA Cup third round]] match against [[Arsenal F.C.|Arsenal]].<ref name="stadiuminfo">{{Cite web|url=http://www.swindontownfc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/TheCountyGround/0,,10341,00.html|title=Stadium Info|access-date=1 February 2007|publisher=Swindon Town FC|work=Welcome to the County Ground|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071014014022/http://www.swindontownfc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/TheCountyGround/0,,10341,00.html|archive-date=14 October 2007}}</ref> The capacity of the ground is now 15,728 so it is unlikely that this record will be broken in the foreseeable future. Swindon Town have also set records in English football, being the second team (after York City in 1983β84) to score over 100 points in the League when they became [[Football League Fourth Division|Fourth Division]] champions in [[1985β86 in English football|1985β86]]. The total of 102 that the club scored has since been beaten. They also hold the [[Football records in England#Team 2|Premier League record]] for most goals conceded in a season, 100 in [[1993β94 in English football|1993β94]], though several teams have finished with a lower points tally. On 20 February 2007 the club played in a landmark League game away to [[Barnet F.C.|Barnet]], a 1β0 loss. The completion of this match meant that Swindon had, during their history, played a League game at home and away against every team who, in the [[2006β07 in English football|2006β07 season]], [[2011β12 in English football|2011β12 season]] and [[2019β20 in English football|2019β20 season]], were in the [[Premier League]], [[Football League Championship|Championship]], [[Football League One|League One]] and [[Football League Two|League Two]] but not the [[National League (English football)|National League]].
