When Sky Sports selected this fixture for live coverage as part of their new EFL package, you have to wonder what they expected.
Presumably, the suits in charge at Isleworth would have looked at Crewe as the plucky playoff runner-up, raring to go again. Swindon, meanwhile, were the wounded dog, wrestling with years of underperformance, and this season would be another fresh start.
Yes, the suits might have thought. That’ll do. Stick it on Sky Sports + at 12.30pm on a Saturday, and watch the viewers come flowing in.
Well, the first fortnight of the campaign will have given those schedulers something of a shock.
