Swindon (8 Viewers)
- Thread starter M&B Stand
- Start date
Very early days and just building, bonding & learning (getting used to the new system.)
Trust in SP and back him the players & the club, don't know where we'll finish but have high hopes.
Far too much negativity has surrounded this club for more years than I care to remember but whatever happens SP will manage in the Premership IMHO!
Just hope it's with us?

Yes. Biggest game since we've been in league one.

People on the MK Dongs Match thread were saying we played awful today. I can't say differently because I wasn't there, but to come away with a point at MK Dongs - and to leave with a clean sheet - is good enough for me at the moment. Really happy with that result! Swindon? Pah! Piece-a-cake!

It was a poor game. The ref ruined it for both sides IMO. Good point today though, could have lost our heads with the news this week and lost. Draws away, wins at the Ricoh

From what I heard on the radio today I'll take another draw.

Yeah, me and my dad are going! Got our tickets. 1500-2000 would be great (if we're allowed that many!)

Resisted going today and from what I heard from the commentary sounded a dire match, lets hope it was just a bad day at the office....

Took 1200 last year and should of won after leon Clarke headed us infront.
Swindon must love playing us. They always win and score loads in the last 20 minutes. Fucking hate swindon as well. I went last year and it was cold wet and horrible if anyone remembers and it's up there with the oldest most disgusting stadium ever. I honestly don't know how larger men shall we say got through the turnstiles and aisles. I struggled and I'm just a normal sized bloke lol
Anyway 3 points then onto the Ricoh. This could be the year.

Swindon can be excellent on their day and are a real force at home, anything better than a defeat would be an excellent result.

Living 22 miles from Swindon and 70 miles from Sixfields I went to a couple of games at Swindon last season. Good organized team, good manager in Mark Cooper. Didn't rate Michael Smith. Ground easy to get to - ample parking outside the ground £10 if you want to walk just a few yards to your seat ! Now we are back at the Ricoh - yeah baby, I'm coming home !

Good point, you'd hope for some midfield quality coming in this week before the end of the window.

I wont be going. Ticket prices are outrageous. Need to save for my Season Ticket. I don't think we'll get anything from this game. Very tough fixture. Just wanna get this one out of the way

Just being realistic. Swindon are a great team and from yesterday's performance, we need a lot of improvement

A 'great team' really? Have a word with yourself. They're a decent League One Play off challenger. Perfect yardstick to see where we are.
Agree about the prices, they only release the cheap £19 ones behind the goal if the initial allocation sells out.

I'll be there. Apparently we've never won there, so here's hoping that changes next Saturday
I was there when we won in the Cup (Bellamy played - may even have scored?) - didn't like the town, the ground or their fans. Let's win there again!

They're a team we'll struggle to eat in my opinion. Maybe not a great team as i put it but they're a contender. Nevertheless, they're the sort of team we need to beat, teams who will be around the position we are aiming for, so its a big game. If I had the money, I'd go. I'd go to every game, home and away, but for this season at least, I think away games will be limited as I have to pay for my season ticket and save up for next year too

Cue a list of teams that we could possibly eat:
I'll start it off with: Liverpool and Aston Vanilla - I'll leave it to the smartie pants like Hill83 and Otis to continue* (*other smartie pants are available)

League maybe?
I heard someone say we have a very poor record there.

No I mean, is it league records where we have never won there? Sure someone told me we never won in the league there.

Quite a few league away wins, but none since 60/61 to be fair!

Lee - didn't you go to MK (Hockey stadium) when we won 3-1? Parts of me turned purple that day - one of the very few victories away from home that I found difficult to enjoy - just wanted to survive!!!
