Swindon – will we have a game 7th Aug?

Things look decidedly dicey over there – cancelling friendlies, no management team in place, fewer players than us (which is something in itself), players not being fully paid, players leaving – the list goes on. Have a read on the BBC if you haven’t seen it yet.

If it carries on, then it might be one game we could win this season :)

No Ian, not a win mate, possibly a 0-0 draw, you cannot win matches without forwards.

You can if you’re awarded the points for non-fulfilment!

Maybe we should play them 5 a side.

I think covid will rule quite a few games out on season start.

It’s a pretty desperate situation, another example of a club being completely failed by the Football League’s “regulation”, a club being ruined by its owner. How many more times do we have to see this sorry story before real change happens?

It’s sad but as long as it’s clubs like Bury and Swindon they will continue to not care.
It’ll take one of the bigger clubs to fail before anything happens.

I hope all Trust members and I know there has been an influx of new blood lately, have all filled in the Football Governance ( or something similar sounding ) survey that was sent out in the current newsletter, if we don’t make our feelings known then change will never come.

I have heard they hope to be bringing over 700 fans with them. Good effort if they do. UTWI

Nice to see their fans getting behind their club, it’s the football that only matters, their club as had real problems with their owner unlike us.

Touch of plagiarism from Swindon’s new owner, heard a similar statement from Mr Swann when he became owner.

Remember when we played Portsmouth in 2014? We stuffed them 5-1, they were in a real mess as a club with their ownership yet their supporters turned out in numbers.
I met a few before the match, in the Berkeley ( ah, the Berkeley before a match, no longer, thank you Humphrey you little squirt) they were going to support their club through thick or thin, and then for them it was pretty thin, they knew they had a weak team but stood by them Good supporters, eventually the club was turned around.
