Swindon On Tour
Striker
And the QPR v Derby one a few seasons before that
Just numb to it all. It's hard to know who to be angry at anymore, fans from other clubs coming out the woodwork giving the club dogs abuse, the EFL after their pound of flesh, other club owners going for the kill, journalists & media outlets outdoing each other with stupid statements, then there's the sociopath owner who apart from a hollow sounding forced apology seems to be saying he had a go and it didnt work, oh dear never mind!!
Whatever happens it's not going to be cleared up anytime soon, points deducted next season, more debt etc. Dont get me wrong, im not an Uber fan, end of the day nobody's died, its not me thats going to lose millions but it's going to be really sad if we lose the Academy we've worked so hard to build into one of the top ten in the country. Losing the young lads who make up most of the first team would also be a kick in the balls. Other than that theres the expected siege mentality, the crowd was class against Stoke saturday and Rooney's got the team playing some great football shame its all for nowt.
I spent some of my happiest days at Derby following them round in the lower leagues early 80's when we were REALLY shit, think i went over two seasons without seeing an away win and more often than not getting chased all over some shitehole town. If thats where were heading then so be it but for a club like Derby who have always struck me as a bit of a mild, nondescript club im gobsmacked at the amount of pure virtiolic hatred thats out there for us for basically abusing the credit card..
Anyway life goes on and some clubs will be getting a bit twitchy reading about it all
Lee westwood can fuck off as well the fat Forest hacker, laughing about it all on Twitter.
Your post opens up some wounds mate.
Complete Summer, daily on the phone as aware of reliable contacts and knew what was going on.
It’s when you take a step back and ask why?
Sure our actions were different to yours but how can these issues not get detected until it’s too late?
The Championship has the biggest challenges of the lot, the Premiership nugget and the sums of money just get a few willing to throw the dice and it’s the damage that comes when it doesn’t work out.
Reading I’ve been aware of for a very long time. Eventually time catches up on you. Lots said about a low budget and not over spending. Hoping our new owner is true to his word, so far so good but this is Swindon and a bump is only a matter of time forthcoming.
Wish you all the best, only advice damage limitation and the club will survive.
Will come back again and staying in the Football League still a positive in the scheme of things. We were heading to the lower depths of the non league and all I could think of was my age and how old I would likely be if we were to get back into the EFL. Now that was scary.
