ace i got to start the last one and i dont give a fuck about the result, i just hope cox gets a hattrick. Must remember to find out the score later.

I hope we don't get tonked today, we've gone the whole season without doing so it would be a shame to undo this on the last day.

Either way, we're safe... Phew.

I don't really care about the result, I just want to have a good day out.

Working again, so won't even be able to follow it on here. All I want is a stack of goals for Coxy as I could frankly do with the money.

How much do people have on the Cox then?

£3 at 20/1 to be top scorer only here, not as good as some but it's still a nice £60 if he can bury a few today.

Myself and my monster headache are leaving in 10 minutes, if anyone i know from here sees me, please talk quietly!

GOAL!

I don't even care if we get dicked, its totally meaningless. Half this team will be gone next year anyway.

It'd be nice for Cox to get atleast 2 though - partly for his value, partly for some recognition for the club, and partly for all those of you who'll win money off it!

I'll probably listen but I'm not going to concern myself with a result.

55-0

Any team news yet?

Got 3 spare tickets. Come find me in the Cherry Tree Pub.

Couldn't care less how we do! I'm sitting back and hopefully watching Brighton go down later as well. Cox hat-trick would be lovely though.

Yes

Team line up looking like this:

                           Smith

                Lescinel    Ifil   Vincent

McGovern                                      Timlin

                Easton   Nalis  Tudor Jones

                      Cox       Paynter

Subs:  Kennedy, J.Smith, Amankwah, Marshall and Razak

Not to Shaw about that line up :eek:

Looks like Brez is off then. Nalis gets his swansong. Perhaps a chance for Easton, Lescinal and Razak to earn deals?

Lescinel,Easton playing for contracts. Razak and marshal will come on as they ar eplaying for contracts aswell. No keeper on the bench doesnt surprise me.

Oh yeah = Nalis last game - bound to come off to a nice round of applause from everyone for a good career.

Nice gesture making Nalis captain

How many of this starting 11 will be here next season, I reckon possibly 3 or 4 !

rovers 2 hartlepool 0

On another note, congrats to JJ who proposed live on BBC Swindon for those that didn't hear it before the match.

I'm sure he is loitering around the forum somewhere!

Oh, and COME ON TOWN!

At least Lambert didn't score them :)

carlisle 1 millwall 0

Paynter-ooooooooooh

Carlisle 1-0 up now. They need a 6 goal turnaround to catch Hartlepool and they have made up 3 so far.

where is that link to see updated league tables?

get in coxy

Coxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ! 31goals.

http://www.sportinglife.com/football/live/tables/cc_league1.html (http://www.sportinglife.com/football/live/tables/cc_league1.html)

COCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Get in there....another 1 goal now needed for the golden boot

http://www.sportinglife.com/football/live/tables/cc_league1.html

Has Lambert scored?

Yay soapy tit wank Brighton going down on GD at the mo. Happy days.

come on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No.

In case anyone wondered, Kuffour and Duffy scored for Rovers,not Lambert.

Who is that annoying woman in the background, she sounds like some of our fans.  Promoted and still fucking moaning!

Quick call full time, Brighton would go down!

My mate at the game said it was a lovely curler from the edge of the box, well done Coxy get another and you will deservedly get the golden boot.

Come on  coxyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy :banana: :banana: :banana:

whats going on?

Who gets the golden boot if none of them score again then?

Peterborough better team, but we are 1-0 up

im listening to radio sussex, withdean going mad should have been a penalty :)

stockport have taken 900 to withdean.

orient 0 hudders 1

we are 14th :)

I said lower midtable at the start of the season.

lambert gets the golden toes, cox gets the golden heel.

Come on Coxy!  Sign off with a hatrick and you will go on with all of our blessings!

And Isaac Hayes gets the bit in the middle.








He's a Soul Man

 :tumbleweed:

If Cox does stay by some form of miracle can he please change his number to 50? 31 this season and 31 goals. Nice.

:)

Bollox

Booooo,equaliser

Boooooooo Wilson out!

Bollocky fuckshit

2-1 Cox

Get in again Coxy!

LEG END!

You're not singing anymore!

Ha ha, Love it!

Cox again! Yay!

shake your money maker!

Get the fuck in there!

coxy you genius get innnnnnnnnnn :clap:

fucking yes










!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Come on Coxy!! You beauty! :D

I see the Trannys are 1 up in the playoff spot battle.

Fuck me - this is really weird - I'm listening to the tinternet commentary in New York and it's about a minute behind everyone posting things on here so I'm seeing the goals here and wondering what the fuck you are talking about!! Mind you, I often wonder what the fuck you are talking about so nothing new here

Halftime

HT - That'll do for now!

One more Coxy and you will become an all time legend!

Get in there my son!

Leeds have scored. Fuck! Come on Stockport!

What did he do? invent good way to clone people? wish he did, we could keep him then and make a few bob by selling him :D

drinks on mex

so my reckoning for top scorer.....

Lambert has to score 2
fryatt has to score 4
beckford has to score 4

£550. cox i fucking love you.

I get the feeling Cox still needs 1 more for some reason.

I don't even remember how much or at what odds i put on. so i'm going to be suprised when i see my account if things stay the same.
 
what odds did you get?

I've got a sneaky feeling Cox will grab another.  Would be a great send off if this is to be his last game

Leeds are winning.Northampton are going down :(

Top league goal scorer in England let alone League 1.

What an expensive decision it was for them when Cox decided to sign for us, and on the flip side what an important decision for us.

The decision could have gone either way by all accounts, it's a funny old game.

If Lambert gets 1, they're level again... meaning bookies pay out on both players at half the odds don't they?

ljmuuub. jnmmmmmmmmmmm

I think the bookies wouldn't know what to do. probably say nobody won, and only pay out to people who put e/w bets on, because both player would be top 4

i got 40-1, no idea if they are level, lets hope lambert gets subbed.

That last post was Ardiles Jnr's (aged 11 months) first post on the Town End.

Anyone else watching out for other games this afternoon - now that ours doesn't have too much riding on it?  The Southern Premier play off final stands Farnborough 0-1 Gloucester City at half time.  I live in Farnborough but have friends who support City.  I feel a little torn, to be honest.

Lambert just scored.....

That's correct,it will be classed as a dead heat..  

Probably why you support Swindon?

fat cunt

You little one make more sense than you!

 ;D

He gets the heel the other one gets the toes!

Is Sonic co commentating today?

Hartlepool doing there best to get relegated 4-1 down at Rovers.

Carlisle are level on goal dif with Hartlepool now.  Rovers 4-1 up (not Lambert)

Edit: Maybe not... still one in it!

Quite true.


True as well.  I think we've all got side interests as well though.  Watching Brighton hang on by their fingernails, for example, is good sport I'm sure we'd all agree.

watching Jeff Stelling on Sky Sports is hilarious today

Doesn't matter because Northampton are losing.

Carlisle just gone 2-0 up.  Level now!

Yes, but it means that 4 teams are still battling it out!

Crewe 0-1 Leicester

That's them as good as down

Penalty to Boro!

Diving bastard

Manky's first touch, or not!

I'd imagine all the Hartlepool fans were feeling pretty confident at 2.59pm today and are now shitting bricks.

Saved by Smith!  He obviously wants a new contract then!

Nice one Smith!

We save a penalty-when was the last time that happened?

Couldn't be closer...

Stockport  46 51 3 59 0-0  v Brighton
Yeovil  46 51 -25 41 0-2  v Colchester
Hartlepool  46 50 -13 66 1-4  v Bristol Rovers
Carlisle  46 50 -13 56 2-0  v Millwall
Brighton  46 50 -16 54 0-0  v Stockport
==============================
Northampton  46 49 -2 61 0-1  v Leeds
Crewe  46 46 -21 59 0-1  v Leicester
Cheltenham  46 39 -39 51 0-1  v Southend
Hereford  46 35 -36 42 0-0  v Franchise

Northampton need 2 goals now so their best hope is a Stockport goal. Come on Stockport!

Leeds 2-0 up against Northampton to ruin the fun

Nice one, Phil.  (I've never believed he would leave anyway.  Brez maybe, but not Smith.)

Leeds 2-0 up!

Cobblers are doomed unless Stockport pull their fingers out!

Beckford's got a goal now-is that a 3 way tie?

Beckford is still one short, I think.

edit.... might even be two.

You would have thought they might now take Beckford off ready for the play offs as well!

The Cobblers have bottled it at just the wrong time.  Two weeks ago I was sure they were safe with their run in and games in hand.  Fair play to Carlisle for doing exactly the opposite.

All down to Stockport now.

Before today (according to the BBC)

Lambert Bristol Rovers 28
Cox Swindon 27
Beckford Leeds United 26
Fryatt Leicester 26

He's definately not level with cox. Cox had more than beckford anyway,and has scored more today to add to the gap.

fryatt scoes now. but beckford and fryatt 2 behind lambert and cox

What's everyone else doing while following the L1 situation? I've got the chelsea game on in the background, have to say Drogba and Anelka definitely can play together! Very good today.

Restraining a small child.

haha. Oh and Fryatt's scored again

Working in wolverhampton at the Wulfrun hall doing a gig with Alesha Dixon.  Does that make me a name dropper?

looks like exeter are up

tell miss dixon i want to do rude things to her

At this rate it'll each one getting a golden stud!

Sat in a hotel room watching crappy American TV

Ill try and get round top mentioning it.  How can I casually drop that into conversation!

I don't know who Alesha Dixon is, so no

pop into the civic upstairs, theres a club on called blast off, i dj at it for 7 years. my mate runs it.

Why has their keeper gone off?

Aparantly im revising, but there comes a time when you have to think "why is there a science of soil,and why am I studying it?"... :doh:

Just cup her breast and say I said hi!

Then duck!

Just Googled Alesha Dixon and I have to agree with Mex

That's it then!  Gayers 1 nil up!

we're going to withdean again.

Whilst doing her from behind.

Im not sure it'll happen!

Fuck it.

Be nice to hold on to this 3 points!

Smith is having a blinder!

come on simon 1 more please.

Another save from Smith!

He might have just earnt himself another year in the past 45 minutes!

Had chances cleared of the line from Timlin and Ifil as well!

I think he's going to get a contract anyway tbh.

So is Cox still overall top scorer but level on league goals with the others ?

Yes he's level with fatty on 29.

Level with Lambert at the min!

not many goals around in the second half

Corner, come on Coxy!

Both Lambert and P'boro will score in added time...story of our season

Scunny have just scored at the end to deny Tranny a play-off place.

Scunny just equalised!  Squeeky Bum time!

Cox is being subbed!  WTF!

Oh.

DW just possibly cost people money!

and gain it themselves

fuck off wilson you cunt.

Yeah he could have cost the club money is Cox was injured I guess.

5 minutes left?  If he was doing it for that reason he would have done it earlier!

Boro equaliser!

Watch Lambert slot one now!

Cox is still worth as much as he was before the game. Any injury won't see the price fall because our board will keep him instead of flog him cheaply.

haha last minute...who cares

Gareth Edds sent off for Tranmere too

Mex!

Ha ha funny. Oh well. Good result a point there. It's Dean Keates as well. The same bloke who scored for Walsall a few years back.

what?

Yeah, Keates loves playing against us last day of the season!

The goal for Walsall was a cracker!

FT

I was answering Ironside as to who cares!

FT at Wovers. Both on 29 then. Interesting.

Mex should get some ££££££ then ?!

I hope the bookies are nice.

Bye Bye Cobblers and Crewe then!

Exeter promoted.

Just out of interest - was that the first time cox has been subbed for us?

He probably got subbed,like nalis, so he got his own ovation.

I recon the board have already accepted an offer from someone. Good luck Coxy :bye:.

good point. Glad we didn't need it though!

either £275 or £550, well done coxy, shit loads of people have placed this bet.

Well done Coxy!

We will definately miss you!  :cry:

Wycombe promoted by the narrows of margins (1 better goal diff, less goals scored than Bury too)

So we finish 15th in the end. That worth any more money?

Not a bad way to end the season.  Thanks for the goals, Coxy.  Wish you all the best for the future (and hope your post-Town career is more successful than SSP's).

For anyone still on the edge of their seats about the Southern Premier play off final, it finished Farnborough 0-1 Gloucester City.  Gloucester hate Cheltenham, so a good season for them.

Cox and Lambert joint top then? Christ, i'm nervous waiting to see if they pay out!

Oh, it's just paid out half money. That'll do I suppose.

Which bookies? was your bet e/w?

Betfair and no, it was just on top scorer, they've paid out half as Lambert was tied, which is fair enough.

I don't think they can't pay out as he is top scorer abelt joint. Shame it will probably be half though for most.

That dodgy monkey hangars pen. against us has cost Northampton their league 1 place!

I put on £2.50 each way at 50/1 at Paddypower

They have just paid out £161.25 so it seems as though they didn't half it for me!!! Get in!

Good result. Happy Summer everyone!

Have to say on the evidence of today I wouldn't swap Cox for MacLean, Mackail-Smith & Boyd put together.

Just got back

First off big congratulations to my Lord Simon Cox, by far and away the BEST striker in this division by some distance. He's made alot of Swindon fans richer tonight as alot of us jumped on the odds of 50/1 pre season.

Decent game of football. Thought we played well first half and really took the game to Posh, we didnt create much but were on top. Coxy gets one and we carry on doing our best to spoil the party, sort of...

Posh threaten and get a goal from a corner which at that point I dont think they deserved. Didnt last long as Coxy got another one to the chorus of 50 to 1 my lord, 50 to 1.

We deserved our lead at half time.

Second half was all Posh mainly. Smith (who defo needs a contract for next season) pulled off some really good saves, we hacked one of line and then they got a penalty - no idea what is for I was at the other end. Good save - another one off the line.

As soon as Ifil gave away that free kick Keates was going to score. He did similiar for Walsall two seasons ago, injury time last game of the season stunning equalizer.

Other highlights. Lillian Nalis last game so his young daughter was on the pitch with the players before the game - she pretty good. She ran into the box and Brez came diving out and she just dinked it over him into the net - pure quality!!! Half time she came out, Marshall put in a cross and she did a bicycle kick!

Fans, ours were ****ing excellent. 95 minutes of pure noise and singing. I was obviously stood right in the middle of it all but it sounded immense.

Didnt hear much out of the Peterborough fans at all. Made some noise when they got their second and that was it, again might have just been where I was sitting.

So much for home fans in the away end as there were a fair few empty seats in the home ends.

Top day out. Out downside was their last minute equalizer (again) but it didnt fucking matter.

good luck next season Posh.

Oh, and for what it's worth, after the game I saw Brezovan in a suit, walking back towards the ground from the town centre with some freshly purchased grub. I'm not sure its significant but I'm sure some people will love to grow a rumour tree out of this seed of information!

he was hungry?

Now that's just stupid

did he drop it?

Not sitting in a sleazy snack bar suckin sickly sausage rolls?

He'll make you dance, he'll make you sing that Slovak boy can do anything.

also, thats the first time we've finished with an away game for 8 years!!

Fog on the Hron is all wrong all wrong..

Interesting. I've been amazed to see how often we were at home on the last day in recent years. Not sure what I prefer to be honest. As long as it's not a stupid away trip like Carlisle I'm not too bothered!

wonder if wilson will use the 3-5-2 formation next season as he did for the 1st 70 mins for today game and we looked solid.

I agree with DV - we deserved to win the game and their fans were crap. Although in fairness their few thousand proper fans probably found it difficult to get an atmosphere going with all the plastics who'd jammed in for the last game of the season to ride on some reflected glory. Wonder how many of those in the newly minted promotion T-shirts have actually been to see their new heroes before today? And yes, I know we'd have the same here in the same circumstances, but my God they were quiet. We stayed behind to see some of their promotion celebrations and they didn't even make that much noise waiting for the players to come out to celebrate. Quite odd

Havn't payed me a single penny. Aparently i lost the bet. :smack:


EDIT: Just after posting they've change it to half winnings. That'l pay for my end of exam piss up :D

Deserved to win the game? Phil Smith was keeping us in it and they had two cleared off the line. They deserved a point as much as us, not that it really matters.

i didnt say we deserved to win the game did I?

we deserved to be ahead at half time though.

what a game today was, great day out for all town fans.
i knew Smithy would save the penalty but also knew Keates would score that tremendous free kick.

well played town and also well done all the fans that went to the game, we were so vocal and outsung the posh for the whole 95 minutes.

Agree with you there Posh Red, he looked miles better than any of them today.

I'm just back, will read through the rest in a mo, just wanted to say that was an awesome performance by the town fans, superb. Smithy earnt himself a new contract today as did Lechsinel i reckon. Again not read through but did anyone else see Brez walking back from the town centre in a suit 5 mins after the final whistle? weird.

Enjoyed today, what great support, now that was bloody loud.
Cox two chances, two great finishes.
He must be man of the match - no I'm afraid not - Smith was aweseome, dont think I've seen a better goalkeeping performance this season.

On the downer, dont think I've seen a poorer performance from Billy Paynter this season either.

Cracking support from town today, I'm still hoarse. "We paid for your hats!" Classic...
I'll have to upload the clips of Budgie de-bagging Timlin at the end  :moon:

Anybody hear of any bother after the game; saw a lot of coppers legging it over the bridge to the city centre  as we left - unless there was a special on doughnuts  :eatkf:

Saw the meat wagon on the bridge, but didn't see what was happening, walked through town to the station and that was quiet, as was the station itself, so no idea.

Same. I walked up to the station and got the 1736 train. Didn't see or hear of anything before then

 :eatkf:  :nod:

Just had a browse on the Posh forum and it appears our stand out players were Coxy (no surprise), JPM and P Smith. One comment about Cox that was made "We should try to buy him"  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

If they've got a spare £2m or so then they can have him. Although I'm not sure he'd want to sign for them. Agree about JPM and Smithy.

That was fucking ace.

Home fans should be ashamed of themselves, promotion day and not a peep until nearly the final whistle.

£295 pure Cox profit - thank you young man!

I probably overstated that in my enthusiasm :) I was mainly agreeing with DV about their plastic-heavy crowd being a bit rubbish. But i thought we played well in a good game. And yes I didn't give Smith the credit he deserves, played really well today (as he has done since coming back in to be fair). Shame he'll never be given any credit by some of our fans and that as much as anything I think will see him leave this summer. Good luck to him wherever he plays next season

Peterborough, the most pathetic ever attempt at a promotion party atmosphere. Ive always thought of them as pretty sleepy.

Good day out. Good end to the season.

Just to add my appreciation thanks Coxy -390 quid better off!!!

My mate put bets on Coxy outright and each way and a small hedge on Lambert outright which would recover his stake on the Coxy bets if they didn't work out, so I was texting him throughout the game yesterday. He rang me when we were on the way home yesterday and William Hill are paying him in full on all of them so he's 1300 quid better off. Not sure whether to be dead chuffed for him or annoyed at myself for not lumping on myself - I gave him the tip!

£90 for a £3 bet. Knew I should have put more on!

Just to open this one up, I bet with Will Hill online and they paid out 390 on a tenner each way but if Paul d's mate as per the above used Will Hill and got full payout, should I query it with them or not?  I'm not sure on the betting malarky so just wanted to some professional opinions before I make a tit out of myself.  I'm more than happy with what ive got by the way, but just a curious question really!

BET 365 only paid out half. CUNTS

Similar story here,only half pay-out, didnt even get the money i put on back. Mind you i didn't put e/w so the cases are different. after reading paul d's post i e-mailed WillHill about it anyway, i don't expect to hear back from them today though.

I'd imagine it's all automated, so either Paul's mate got half on the win or he's gone to a bookies shop and got lucky(ier)!

You should have got half your stake back though, you lose the other half due to dead heat rules. I expect Will Hill will only tell you dead heat rules apply when they email back.

Well that was a different experience seeing a Posh game in the away end. Stood on the right hand side behind the swindon firm. Must say the view is rubbish. Far too shallow

As for the match a bit of a cliched game of two halves. You in the first, us in the second. Loads of movement and energy from you guys and we floundered. I had to applaud Cox's first, looked a lovely strike. The second had me swearing.
Posh played within themselves which is undestandable and we wasted enough chances not to rely on a 93rd minute free-kick. But i'm well pleased to have been right behind it so i could take in its beautiful arc!

Thought your support was excellent from the start. Clapped my hands a bit at the start and sang about shooting the oxford scum. Then the paranoia wore off. Wasn't sure about the 'championship your having a laugh' song. I pretended to look at my mobile when that one kept starting up haha.
Was happy to applaud Simon Cox off at the end tho. CMS could do with a lesson in finishing from him.

Now for the Posh support. Almost every home game we get away fans mugging off the home support. Last year this was generally correct, but this year has been a different story.
I made a point of watching the Poshies. Its true there fleeting moments in the 2nd half when noise was being made, but i think this is the family stand waking up and joining in every so often. The LR end must have been noisy for quite long periods as i could see them clapping in unison and jumping around but coudn't hear a peep, just the drum now and again. So IMO definitely the asbestos acoustics are having an impact. Oh well, it'll be the barnsley male voice choir having a go next season soapy tit wank!

Good luck next year. Three more 'were too good for this league' are coming down. Hope you give em a dishing!

There were a few fans in end opposite that made a bit of noise and there was a drum (bloody drums!). Most areas of the ground were sat still though.

It makes me laugh when fans use the poor acoustics argument. Our fans have said it of the Town End in our ground, but whenever I haven't been in it and the fans have sung I've always heard them fine. Obviously poor acoustics can be detrimental, but if the majority of fans sing then you still hear them.

When you equalised at the end I heard the fans wake up then. I certainly saw them jumping up and down and clapping too. That's how I expected it to be over the entire course of the game.

Anyway, well done for getting promoted.

It was quiet obvious you have a decent side, but it wouldn't be football without a wind up would it?  Actually quiet liked your ground, but if it's right what you say about the acoustics, it would be worth looking at that in the summer, as that can only help you stay up. Impressed with the town in general, the centre was very appealing, good day out all round.

My youngest lad, 25, went to his first Swindon game in 12 years this weekend, he supports Reading (had to check his blood group when he started going this season) - girlfriend influence I'm afraid - anyway after the noise and atmosphere from the Swindon fans at Peterborough I think he is now a true believer - he said he has never heard anything like the noise generated from our mob on Saturday - he wants to come to Swindon games in the futue - he has also split from the Reading bitch as well, that might have something to do with it.
I think I might be the first to say, oh, how funny to see so many long faced Reading fans walking around the village this afternoon, bless!!!

Your boy needs to sort himself out.

I had great fun driving past the Madejski laughing at them with my big Swindon crest in my rear windscreen.

Well done to all those who went.

Just watched the extensive highlights..........what utter bollox!

Cox first and their equaliser....that was it.....Fuck the Championship tv programme......

What sort of bloke would support a football team cos his bird does?

Im shocked Dell,did you never take him aside and ask him what he was playing at?

Lets be honest though,our fans are shit at home and most fans have a laugh and make a noise when they are away.So if you dont want to burst his bubble id only let him go to away games.

I'll wait until on Virgin tomorrow, championship really is turning into prem mk2.

It always comes across diluted on the telly. Anyone who has been away knows the score. We took over their party and they know it. My missus (who I took yesterday) wants to do more away games next season, and I agree totally. We sit as ST holders in the DRS, and though you can get an atmosphere going, it is usually average to poor; away from home is fun  :nod:

Just seen, the goals up close, both good finishes by Cox, but shocking defending. Also what a dive by Boyd for the penalty!

We have this every week. It's not that the noise doesn't get out - it does. It's just so loud in the ends that you can't hear anything else if there's any more than a murmur.

I could see you Swindon fans waving your hands a lot on Sat, but didn't hear you sing once. Not even when you scored.

Your team looked good on Saturday and I'm surprised that you were so low in the table. If you play like you did in the first half, you'll be up near the top next year.

That lad Cox would look very pretty on our bench next year.  ;)

Funny how you say that, when some Peterborough fans I've been talking to have said we were one of the loudest set of fans to visit London Road this season. There's no way you can say you created an atmosphere Saturday, no way at all.

There is no chance you didnt hear us at all

....there is also no chance Cox would firstly go to Peterborough and secondly end up on the bench.

Better than all your strikers.

Maybe he meant as a first team coach to show Mackail Smith how to finish?

No, Slovakia

Only when they scored did I actually see there fans move/clap. I definitely heard them before the kick-off and thought it was going to be a great atmosphere, but once the game started nothing apart from that flipping drum.
In the first half I stood right in the middle of the main Swindon singing lot, second half I moved across to left hand side and the noise from the Swindon fans was very loud, still heard nothing from Peterborough. They were quieter than Leicester and that is saying something.

even from our end we could see that wasn't a penalty, what a shocking decision!

Did they show the earlier incident about 3 minutes before, because that looked like a certain penalty that wasn't given?

I was dissapointed with it. At these end of season games I always hope to go and see a set of fans on a real high about their football.

Yes they went up last week. But Peterborough getting promoted to that league is still a once in 20 year event.

I dont know if the fault is with modern football or modern fans. But somewhere along the lines football needs to get more excited. For me, saturday was a prime example of a ground full of people who didnt have a clue about football.

Their chairman is talking about Europe within six years - maybe they're waiting for that :)

Peterborough have had back-to-back promotions, so the excitement is probably diminished slightly.

If they had spent 5+ years here then they'd have more of an understanding of what it is to get out of this league.

Once the manager leaves, the current crop is sold off, and the chairman gets bored, then I see them going back to League 2 to be honest, so I hope they enjoy it whilst it lasts.

Isn't their chairman meant to be abit dodgy with his company making a few appearances on Watchdog? I can't see him staying long term and can only imagine when he does leave he'll leave behind a whole heap of problems.
Europe in 6 years .........don't make me laugh Peterborough are a mid-table league 1 team at best and are just riding a bit of wave at the moment which won't last forever. Next season they'll be competing with teams that have equal and greater spending power than them so won't find life so easy.

I think they need to look at some clips from the game we played against Walsall  ;)

I was surprised how flat it seemed; especially after the fuss made by some of their fans about not getting the Moyes End  :baby:

Or Mansfield. Or any of the games at the latter end of 2003/04.

Ive got every faith that if we do pull a good season out of the bag next season then our fans will turn out and make a great occasion out of it. Like we always do.

Lets go fucking mental.

Well you'd get Yeovil Blue going to games for starters.

He alone is worth probably 500 Town fans.

According to my personality profiling stuff, you and Yeovil are a match made in heaven. You will make a lovely couple.

Id swap 500 Peterborough fans for one Yeovil Blue.

Peterborough were on our local news programme tonight as they had an open bus go round Peterborough, only 3000 people turned up. Now i know they finished 2nd and didn't win the league, but i thought that was a poor turn out for a side which has just won consecutive promotions.

And they are aiming to get into the Premier League within the next two years they said! As posts have said above, dream on. They would need a new ground, doubt they would get the attendances to finance it and as soon as the chairman walks, they would be stuffed.

Having just watched the video, it was even worse a dive than I first thought. He's half way down before the challenge is even made. No idea how the ref could give that.

That makes me shudder if you apply the same train of thought to us...

(Sorry about the railway reference)

I think it would affect them more than it would us. He has certainly financed the team more, they don't have a big support generally so he must be subsidising that as well.

At least our board are running the club so we don't make a loss now, so i believe, so if they walked we should still be solvent.

If the Peterborough chairman walked then i think they would come straight back down.

They didn't have to drive the bus very far then! That must be the shortest journey on record  :-[

I'll bet Messrs. Watkins and Fitton have had a smile at that one!!  Let's just say they are probably not losing so much now as the previous regime were!

Aye. It'll be a while before we're breaking even I should think

erm no

Their Chairman sells timeshare in Spain, and what has just collapsed in Spain...property !!!

I'd give it a year or so, and he'll be off !!!

While that may be their ultimate intention, we are a long way from that at the moment.

They are expecting to make a big loss for this season, mainly down to the huge squad we have of players who dont (or cant) play.

This will reduce massively in the Summer due to all the contracts expiring but even then they are not expecting to reach break-even unless players are sold to make up the difference.

However.....just like us in the Prem....better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all! :nod:

I haven’t posted on this subject yet, but having read 18 pages this morning (good way to start a Monday), I thought I’d raise a few points.

Fair play to all who went, I must admit I decided not to at 4.40pm against Rovers – having read the posts I am regretting that decesion.  It sounds like there were few up there and as was mentioned, first away game on last day of the season for years (Stoke must have been the last???).  I have been to Posh’s stadium a couple of times and it’s a proper ground with a decent sized covered away terrace, how many of them are left in the football league?  It’s a shame that now they have been promoted no doubt they will chuck a load of seats on it and think about relocating to an out of town stadium.   Given London Road or some non descript, soulless, out of town, plastic, mono structure, I know which one I would choose every time.  The advent of this type of stadia may be great for the coffers of our beloved football clubs, but watching football post Taylor report can be pretty dull. In my opinion it won’t be long before we can’t shout, swear or raise our voices at football matches.   Now don’t get me wrong, I would love to be in Posh’s shoes and celebrating a promotion, however I would still view with caution – especially when I will have trouble getting tickets to the big games next season cos some bloke who hasn’t been since last time they were in the championship has decided Arsenal/man u etc can wait a season.  Doing a Wigan would be even worse.  No doubt Franchise will be in eth top flight sooner rather than later and I genuinley can't be arsed mixing with them types.

The issue with fans/atmos is probably similar to our game against Stockport in 96, awful atmos, about 400 Stockport fans out sang us for the entire game.  Unfortunately that’s what happens when half the ground is full of debutants.  As has been mentioned our home support / noise has been awful this season, in my view this is because everyone is dotted around the ground due to season tickets pricing - hopeflly that will chaneg nexty season.

Finally – Championship coverage on Sunday was rubbish, 10 seconds of Cox’s goal and that was it.  Did anyone see the Oldham fans sat in their away end, to a man they were in fancy dress - the bloke dressed as a Rubiks cube was quality!!!

PS All drums / musical instruments at football can fcuk off.

It's not Monday ;)

Just testing

And the Rovers game finished at about 2pm. :)  Of course you might have considered your decision carefully..

Ooops! Clarification - had a message from my mate earlier today and apparently he was given the wrong info when he rang to check on Saturday. He rang up around 5-ish on Sat and was told they'd pay out in full, but has now checked and they've only paid halves, so looks like whoever he spoke to at Billy Hills was giving out duff info. Mind, he's still several hundred quid better off than I am and had a fun weekend before he checked mentally spending over a grand (fortunately he didn't actually go out and spend on the back of it)

i got 348 from coral for 10 e/w at 40-1

e/w is a third of the odds? Nice one!

I looked at my TV guide and couldn't see that being on  ???

It was on about 11.15 at night on Sunday.

Feel free to type fuck on this forum, it's fine.  As is cuntface.  Can we drop in a cuntface?

You're a cuntface.

John's a cuntface, that's why he always has penis in his mouth

I thought that was a fuckface?

No, that's a gay.

Thank you.
