The magic of the cup lasted for about five minutes, as we were handed a run of the mill League One clash with last season's Play Off finalists Swindon Town.
There was probably a collective groan in both Rochdale and Swindon as the random draw robbed either side of a chance of a bit of cup glamour. In fairness, Swindon's last visit to Spotland produced a cracking game tho their then manager claimed they should have had ten. There was eleven goals between the two sides in the two games last year.
On the plus side, I think we can assume this game will not be moved from the Saturday for television purposes.
