In my case I'm 12,000 miles away and have only managed to make it to two games in the last 20 years (home to Torquay in Apr 07 and Huddersfield at home this season).
Add to that, when I am online most of you lot are tucked up in bed except for one or two sad gits who probably need to get a life.
Both of the above factors kind of limit my ability to contribute to any meaningful discussion, hence the reason for just 'lurking'.
Most of the people i knew in Drakes Way were 12000 miles away most of the time anyway Welcome anyway.

Started playing there at Junior School, we used to bussed from Clarence Street as being deprived kids we had no field...then used to play there for Park YC, up to age of 16. The magic smell of Elliman's embrocation....

I didn't know what mayonnaise was, until going to University, and discovering middle class girls. 50's/60's Swindon was definitely a salad cream sort of place.

They're only about 10k away interestingly.
Is this some innovative use of the word interesting that I've not previously encountered?

Mexico Red, I am in Australia (I could have said I live in Sydney but I know it would have taken one of you bright sparks less than a minute to pick up on the homosexual connotation).
Sydney is a good place to live except for 4 things:
1. The intense summer heat (call me wierd but I'd rather it be snowing rather than 40+ degrees celsius). 2. Only getting to watch football at midnight or 2am in the morning. The 'A League', as the national competition here is known, doesn't really count unless you like watching lower L2 or Conference fare (perfect for Oxford fans I guess) 3. Rarely getting to watch Swindon play and 4. The fact that Australia is so far away from anywhere (unless NZ or Fiji is your gig its 7-8 hours flying time up to SE Asia)

Classic lurker here who likes to enjoy the banter from afar. Moved away from Swindon and only return for the occasional Town match, so browsing is a good way to keep my finger on the, ahem, pulse.
