Swindon Town 25/26 thread

Swindon On Tour said:
More shattered dreams in the week.
Potential takeover dead in the water, chapter 17. Aussie Plumber now granted voting rights through Directorship to his useless CEO and head of Security.
In simple terms we don’t know who owns what and dodgy throughout. Two further convicted criminals that have failed the fit and proper tests remain “match day guests,” right.
No matter how good on the pitch, off remains rotten to the core and holds back the true love of the club.

What else can we do?
Just carry on. Just want thus lot out but it’s going to get messy for sure.
Aussie up in Court in a few months time and hoping he gets disqualified.

Keep winning, icrease the value of the club so the crooks will sell.
Chin up regardless my friend.

Well here we go again.
In an attempt not to piss off a few I promise to abide by keeping all things Swindon to this thread.
Notwithstanding just ignore if you desire.

In typical Swindon fashion plenty going on:

Tomorrow we start the campaign on the road with a trip to Walsall. Taking over 2,200 fans so should be a good atmosphere and all in support of the Holloway factor. Sold over 1,000 tickets already for our away Cup tie to Cardiff. Travelling tomorrow by train thus looking forward to a few 🍺🍺.

Off the field dare we believe. Our stand redevelopment was stopped in its tracks by the fans vote, a debatable no and fingers up to the Aussie Plumber that he is not fit for purpose in taking this club forward.
Not only this but real promise is gathering on not a case of “if” but “when” we finally rid the club of these incompetent wrong uns. Hoping he takes what is in the table as going legal will only slow down the inevitable. The day he and his cronies are gone will be a promotion winning feeling.

On the field we have secured almost the same side that Holloway took from the bottom to just failing short of a play off. In addition we have signed a few and confidence is high. What possibly could go wrong, this after all is Swindon where something negative is always around the corner.
All eyes on Jake Tabor the non league hot shot signed from Amersham way down the football pyramid. The next Charlie Austin? Only time will tell and a big step up. Billy Bodin (Son of the legendary Paul) has pledged his final season to his local club, all those years when Di Canio pushed him out.

Holloway has done a terrific job in bringing in players that want to be part of the Club and play for him.
The one and only bright spark in a sea of shite.
MK Dons in my opinion will take some stopping however we are more than capable of going one step better and a play off should be minimum. All hope though first around the ownership.

Here we go again .

You’re on one of my trebles today, so you better not fuck it up, cos you’ve got a very poor record when it comes to including you in a bet.

Ha’way Swindon

Mate I can only apologise as to how shite that was.
Yes a very soft red but we never turned up which was worrying.

The League is such a poor quality and any team can beat another.
Hopefully can get back on track Tuesday.

Paddy McGuinness could have scored against us yesterday.
What the fook was Fatty, our keeper doing for the first goal. He was closer to Blackburn than his own goal line.
That’s 4 he has conceded this season from poor positioning but he is better than the previous keeper.
You gotta laugh or else you would cry.

Sat on the train at Preston for 70 minutes whilst they tried to find a driver.
At least we kept the Carriage entertained. No abuse, no swearing just fun and laughter. Every time the announcer came on it was belly laughter.
“We are still trying to find a driver and will keep you updated. Those travelling to Crewe, Warrington or Stafford can change to platform 4 where another train is waiting a driver 🤣🤣.”

“Can anyone drive a train”
“I built my lad a Hornby train set and will give it a go.”

Then the final blow.
“We are sorry to announce the buffet car is now closed as we are awaiting a changeover of staff.” That was it I was on the floor like our keeper was for most of the game.

Fleetwood by train in a few weeks time, round two.🙏⚽️❤️🤣

You deserve a medal mate.
A true supporter.

If I go by boat mate, it will be a free hotel and expenses.


I deserve my head to be examined mate.
Despite the disasters we still managed to have a few laughs.

I can honestly say pound for pound I prefer Northern folk.

I remember us playing Accrington Stanley back in the early dark days of us in League 1.
It was a midweek game at home I don’t think we were exactly setting the league alight and I remember the first 45 minutes us getting outplayed and not being able to get the ball off them.
It was then I realised where we were at it really hit home, sitting there watching us getting the run around off Accrington Stanley, and no disrespect intended.

I know exactly what you mean.
It’s that time when it simply hits home.
Now take that time and think back to yesterday and those lows and how high are you now. To be honest it hasn’t taken you that long and made up for you.

Until we get an ownership overhaul sadly it’s us flat lining.
The years are running out and that’s what we were talking about after the game. Stuck with what we’ve got mate and can’t change the runner or rider.👍

What time did you get back home?

Left home 6:30am and walked in the door 11:55pm.
Just thankful I caught the last train as that would have been me stranded in Birmingham.

Absolute sickener of a day for you yesterday, that result was totally surprising & unexpected (by me anyway). Ownership issues aside you need a reaction to that. You're still right in it and the division is still wide open for three sides, knuckle down in training and play your game - hopefully ownership matters are not affecting the players/IH.

Overnights in Brum aren't that bad unless you're tipped out of the cells at 06.30 in winter without a coat & money :lol:

Win the game in hand tomorrow night and go top.
This is Swindon and probably draw.

4 bloody times in one game.
All was needed was Tom the Cabin boy taking the piss. 😀

I seem to remember that the characters in Captain Pugwash had rather risqué names; "Rodger the Cabin Boy", "Master Bates" and "Seaman Staines" but believe this was a myth and the reality was that the actual names were Master Mates, Tom the Cabin Boy, Barnabas and Willy.

Win it great but even keep picking up the odd point with a draw keeps you in the frame, the division will be so tight.

Agree with you Mate.
An absolute shite league this season and MKD should walk it.
The rest all much of a much and we do have a decent squad that should help.

One of those and all about the next game tomorrow night.
I’m sure Holloway will make changes.
