M&B Stand · Aug 23, 2014

Huge game next week, win and it sets us up perfectly for a triumphant homecoming, lose and we start to
become entrenched in the bottom half of league one once again.

So, a draw?

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?

kg82 · Aug 23, 2014

Any idea how many we're expecting to take? Not too far away and not an awful start to the season.

Nick · Aug 23, 2014

Would be good to get a win leading us back to the Ricoh wouldn't it?

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

Evans1883 · Aug 23, 2014

Somebody just said we have already sold 1000 tickets for this , if so that is fantastic

ccfc92 · Aug 23, 2014

I'll be there. Apparently we've never won there, so here's hoping that changes next Saturday

Houchens Head · Aug 23, 2014

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

skybluetony176 · Aug 23, 2014

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!)

letsallsingtogether · Aug 23, 2014

I'll be there

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....

Kingokings204 · Aug 23, 2014

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.

shmmeee · Aug 24, 2014

Need a win here ideally. Tough game, still holding out hope Pressley is keeping his cards close to his chest on a DM.

SkyBlue_Bear83 · Aug 24, 2014

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

Voice_of_Reason · Aug 24, 2014

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.

TrueSkyBlueLiam · Aug 24, 2014

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

sw88 · Aug 24, 2014

I'll be there! Don't like Swindon much, so hoping for a good 3 points but I think if we persist with 352 / 532 (however you look at it) we will keep getting draws at best.

That's the spirit

TrueSkyBlueLiam · Aug 24, 2014

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

kg82 · Aug 24, 2014

Got to agree with Liam on the ticket prices, they're a bit steep. But I'll be there anyway!

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 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!

TrueSkyBlueLiam · Aug 25, 2014

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

letsallsingtogether · Aug 25, 2014

I'll be there with my friends so it will be a good day regardless of the score :claping hands:Can't wait haven't been to a game yet bar on that stinking hill.

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.

There's always Hearts, or is that joke too offal?

FAC 00/01. Never been so cold at a match in all my life.

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!!!
