Yeah....you used to be able to get public transport on even Christmas Day once upon a time. Sadly privatisation put paid to that....costs too high, better to use the down time for essential maintenance.
Was always a local Derby as well thus little distance to travel.

Stfcstore just tweeted around 750 sold so far
From www.swindon-town-fc.co.uk - our recent away followings to Walsall: Tues 28 Jan 2014 - 1-1 D - 422 STFC fans Sat 10 Nov 2012 - 2-0 W - 962 STFC fans Sat 18 Sep 2010 - 2-1 W - 853 STFC fans Sat 19 Sep 2009 - 1-1 D - 735 STFC fans Sat 29 Nov 2008 - 1-2 L - 626 STFC fans Sat 12 Jan 2008 - 2-2 D - 781 STFC fans Sat 9 Dec 2006 - 2-0 W - 1,072 STFC fans With it only being a 1 hour 15 minute trip from Swindon, it does often surprise me that we don't take more to Walsall? Yeovil takes about 2 hours to get to and we normally take 1,500 on a Saturday!

I was away in Australia so can't comment but given it was a promotion rivals game and STFC were still riding the crest of the Wise/early Sturrock wave, wouldn't surprise me if we took over 1,500.

They under declare the away followings and the ability to pay cash on the turnstiles is a bit of a giveaway

Was always a local Derby as well thus little distance to travel.
Up until the late 50's as Audrey said, it was common to have back to back fixtures v someone reasonably close like a Brentford or Bormuff, but I recall being away at Bradford Park Avenue, Boxing Day 62, when then last big freeze hit GB, and it was touch and go getting back to Swindon. The following 3 seasons we had Norwich twice and Grimsby...

Definitely looking forward to this one.
How many are you all expecting? We have definitely sold 750+, so it should be a good turn out.
Shall I bring the old flag to wave above us? I'm interested to see how it goes at an away game. It feels a bit of a moot point in Arkell's because nobody else seems to give a shit about showing any kind of passion or excitement at the game. At least the Town End boys keep the noise up...

Was going until earlier today but "events" overtook me which probably is just as well as my away record is abysmal.
Just going to listen on the radio with beer in hand.
