1-2 with 400 Hardy away fans Title: Re: Colchester United v Swindon Town official match day thread Post by: lincolnred on Saturday, April 28, 2018, 07:28:03 Having watched them against Lincoln last week can't see us getting anything. They were clever with the ball and have a strong midfield containing good old Sean Murray.

Great pub this. The circle is populated by cut outs of well known people. There is a sign at the station that says "Colchester welcomes Rotarians". Presumably everyone else can do one. Another odyssey through the backwaters of the football league comes to an end. It's been good fun, a lot of wins, plenty of shit journeys and awkward grounds to get to. So, best performance. Luton, a glimpse into what might have been. Hall of shame. Cheltenham. There is always next season to break the hoodoo. Worst journey. The sweaty mass of humanity crammed into the two coach trundler from Cheltenham. Special mention for Yeovil. Two stations and a ground all on the edge of town, with fuck all in between. Best piss up. Grimsby, Nottingham, Coventry & Newport. :) Away player of the season. The special teams kicking unit that is Matty Taylor. Mainly for looking like one of the few who gave a fuck for the cause. Special award for services to pound shops. Mansfield. Looking forward to a midweek jaunt to Carlisle next season. :( Title: Re: Colchester United v Swindon Town official match day thread Post by: chalkies_shorts on Saturday, April 28, 2018, 09:47:00 Not going today but like Colchester.

Colchester might be a bit of a footballing backwater, but it has a long history of spectator sport, boasting Britain's only Roman Circus.... a bit like the Abbey Stadium only huge and for chariot racing, not dogs and speedway Title: Re: Colchester United v Swindon Town official match day thread Post by: The Artist Formerly Known as Audrey on Saturday, April 28, 2018, 13:16:08 For those interested

Reg will be happy as Rochdale look to be in with a good chance of coming back to their spiritual home division.

Well it looks to be them or Oldham. On balance, I'd rather have Dale. We're now guaranteed our 2nd lowest ever league position..... however it can be debated whether it should be considered since 1958. Meaning finishing bottom of Div 3 S and having to apply for re-election might be thought of as worse than finishing mid table in Div 4.

Title: Colchester United v Swindon Town official ma Post by: Batch on Saturday, April 28, 2018, 18:24:40 didn't hear anything about Conroy/Preston.
Not sure I see the point in any of the loaners playing either. or trying to keep any of them Banks was good early on in his loan, very average after the sending off suspension. mayo, he's raw, but if we are playing raw then play or own player in romanski (if not injured) Elsnik looks out of it for whatever reason. Didn't go today so no idea how he played but since his injury he was good straight after and faded to nothing. doubt we'll be taking Hussey on a perm. not if brown stays. who have I forgotten? Title: Re: Colchester United v Swindon Town official ma Post by: FreddySTFC! on Saturday, April 28, 2018, 18:28:06 didn't hear anything about Conroy/Preston. That's all of them as Gordon has already returned to Derby.
