August 9 2008
It wasn't the best start to the 2008/09 season as Tranmere were defeated 3-1 by Swindon Town at The County Ground today. On a wet and windy day it took Swindon just five minutes to go ahead as Billy Paynter put Swindon 1-0 up. Rovers conceeded a further two goals before Bas Savage pulled one back for Rovers, knocking the ball into the net from close range after an assist by Edrissa Sonko.
