We should be going forward, no?

[1978blue]

I don't know why we have a board outside the ground advertising the next game , drove past this morning and it still says next game v Derby County on 24th July !! Surely should have been changed the morning after and Swindon put up. It might not make any difference but on the other hand it might.

I think the more level headed among us see it as not as much a disaster as some.

It will be the highest 'first day' home attendance in over 50 years.

Exactly, this time of year is always a hit on crowds with folk away etc. Add in it being on TV and moved to a Friday night and it will add up to folk not being able to make it but the fact its not that long ago we saw 8000 as a massive crowd says a lot.

I suppose to a mature pallet favouring real ale the only discernible difference of the two mentioned lagers would be the spelling and the price.

Now now, we don?t need any of your beer snobbery on here 😄

I'm sure I read somewhere that Swindon have narrowed their pitch at home, this might offer insight on how they will set up and play.

Yeah, but he can't spell palate.

Can he therefore pronounce the name of a beer and order one successfully?

I wonder how that happened!!

I therefore seek "Absolution" (5.3% ABV)

Word had gone round for a few days before that someone had been up one of the towers for a laugh and messed about with the lights. The club gave free admission the following day. Word of that reached Swindon and their away following trebled overnight!

Ha blimey I do vaguely remember this. I was too young to go to the Friday night game (basically my dad wanted a night in boozer after the game).

Was overjoyed next day to find out the game was on and it was free !

I'm saying 1986 ish ?

I do remember Phil Tingay having to get the tools out once after them failing, but that game went ahead that evening. The game you're talking about Warfey, I couldn't get to because I was on nights, and knew nothing about it being arranged for the following day.
