White Kit

[Bert1981]

Shocking decision by the club, I am very angry about this! Here's my e-mail to Nick, i've joined the FB group aswell and invited all of my friends, swindon fans or not. RED ARMY!!!

Dear Nick,
 
I'm writing to you asking the club to reconsider it's kit choice for the play-off final at Wembley.
 
I, like many other fans, simply cannot understand the decision to wear our white away kit against a team that plays in blue.
 
Yourself and the rest of the board have done wonders for our club since you took over and this is the first time I can remember thinking that you are making a mistake.
 
Swindon Town are RED, we as fans have been asked to paint the town red by the Adver and our end at Wembley will be bathed in a sea of red. It is our colour, we sing come on you reds and red army. We wont be able to sing these songs at wembley if our team is wearing white.
 
I hope that you will acknowledge the strength of feeling on this issue and inform the football league that Swindon Town will be wearing red at Wembley.
 
Thank you for listening.
 
Kind Regards,

Anyone who has STFC World, watch the video on Billy Paynter's views on the white kit.

He says ''we'll be wearing white so I'm sure all the fans will too''.

Yeah right Billy.

Sorry but he's a TWAT for saying that!

Billy says ''it will be a waste of time wearing red''.

If they do not reverse this ridiculous decision then everyone must wear red and sing red army non-stop through the game!

I'm kind of thinking they won't now because today all the players did a photo shoot in the white kit and the turn around and walk up to the camera thing for Sky Sports today.

Sorry. They've done very well to get there, but there are 30k of us paying a shitload of money for this. Do we get a say?

That's more or less what I said in a polite way and pointed out that we're known as Danny Wilson's RED and WHITE army not WHITE and BLUE.

I don't imagine they would have realised the outcry this would have caused, so will be interested in what the response is?

[OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR]

Billy says ''it will be a waste of time wearing red''.

That was just Billy trying to be funny...and failing obviously. He wasn't even thinking about what he was saying.

I honestly don't think they will reverse this decision despite the uproar about it.

[Coca Fola]

What the fuck were they thinking?!!?  

If they don't reverse the decision we need to sing some songs about it on the day.

E.g (to the tune of it's just like watching brazil)

Play in red
We should be playing in red

"Oh say can you see..."

Millwall will sing are you Leeds in disguise!

[Lumps]

"Gutted Red"? Is that like "Burnt Amber"?

That'll be Burnt Umber surely?

[santasdead]

Im surprised no-one has mentioned the fact that our white kit has blue on. Millwall play in blue...





I don't actually care if we're in white, red, orange or pink. I just want to shit stir, cause that's what this thread is - shit.

[Gnasher]

Sorry, i haven't read through the thread but have we ever won in the white strip?

[joteddyred]

Absolutely..let's keep some sense of perspective I already feel like I'm over-reacting...BUT I CAN'T HELP IT!!!

Neither can I, I'm really pissed off!  The more I think about it, the more annoyed I get that this decision was reached.  I'd be interested to know if any other team has played in their third choice strip in a Wembley final?  Somehow doubt it!
