Didn't a local company offer to clean it for free?
Yep, they gave a sponsorship board at the ground (well they do now anyway) |

As per usual it took fans kicking off and an individual approaching the club offering his services for free for anything to get done.
Absolutely embarrassing how little pride the club has in the place and how they continue to do the absolute bare minimum that they can get away with.

From Sam Morshead Fair Game's review of the Swindon Town accounts is earmarked for publication in early April.
To their credit, the club have provided Fair Game with additional financial information not currently in the public domain to enable a fuller commentary of #stfc financial situation. One wonders whether the Trust were provided this info when they were given a look at the books and the Trust guy resigned pretty much straight away after! |

I'm still a little bit bemused as to why the club need this Fair Game crowd to do all this. The accounts are what, 2 years old now and so in April they are going to come out and tell us what? The fact of the matter is that as of today we are 18th in league 2 in a crumbling ground with an interim manager, a load of players out of contract, barely any coaching staff, hardly any players under contract next season, a skint chairman, a club seemingly losing money hand over fist etc. This might seem alarmist, but the whole Fair Game thing, whilst potentially useful, does seem like a bit of a pointless gesture a little bit. |

It's so they can say "but Fair Game said we have done things right" |

Indeed. If their conclusion is as close to what we know. A skint basket case. Then the suited and booted duo won’t want to pay too much for the crumbling edifice. So Digger, isn’t going to see much back is he. Especially after doling out the other shareholders %. |

The Fair Game "analysis" is either a publicity stunt or a stunning admission that nobody in the club has a fucking clue how to run a business (because they should have been able to present more detailed financial analysis by now if they could and wanted to). Before Mancy weighs in, I know they don't have to and I know other clubs don't either. The entire fucking football industry should be regulated to provide detailed financial analysis though.

Pieces of 8.
Is that a cryptic clue as to how many individuals have their sticky fingers in the till? |

I am guessing this isn't the OUFC supporting window cleaning service who have hoardings in and outside our ground. When you realise, it is quite obvious, the logo is reminiscent of the Bull. |
