A seperate section for past games. Like peoples memories of games back in the day, where they can post pictures if they have any ?

If we were to have one, I could start a few topics going because my dad dug out loads of old pictures from cup finals etc the other day and there were some amazing pictures in there. Sent shivers down my spine!

You could just start a thread up in the other football bit sade?

Sade, you get a shiver down your spine seeing pictures of random footballers you have never seen before, but invariably fancy!! :mrgreen:

It will be too special to go in the other bit!!  :D

And Ed , It was not of past players a-c-t-u-a-l-l-y  :P   It was a picture of when we went to wembley, dad took it of all the swindon fans and its just a huge sea of red. Looks brilliant! I was shocked, we had loads of fans then. And a picture of hoddle dropping to his knee's when the final whistle went.

I'm yet to experience something like that  :(  Thats why I'd like us to survive relegation, that would be amazing.

Sounds like a good idea...but I know nothing of the logistics of running a site.

  Its true you can post stuff like this in other football....but it will get a bit lost with the other bollocks.

 Whereas this way it becomes a bit of an archive.

  How much stuff have you got Sadie....shed loads or just a bit?

:D  Well I think there's about 4/5 pictures and I was going to let my dad write abit because he likes talking about the olden days! I think I'll get him to register or it could get a bit confusing. I'm sure some other people on here have some old photos lying about too ? Just a thought like.

Will he be able to read Mex's attempt at taking your brown wings? That could be embarrassing.

Just teasing! I never got to go to that game as I had to go to School! I ran home after school and listened to Radio 5 in my room. When Bodin scored that penalty it was like a massive adrenalin rush!

I was at the Wembley final against Sunderland though and my memories are very hazy, but of the sea of red from Swindon to the game, my scarf flapping out of the car window!! Also the graciousness of the Sunderland fans on the tube after the game.

:D sounds great, wish I was around for that. I have never been to any big games.

 :D  My dad would probably laugh. He's read some of mex's posts before and thinks he's hilarious. Don't we all though.

Please, please, please......don't call it the olden days......


It makes it sound like it was before the war and I'm about to start drawing my pension.

I bet that hurt your brain Sade

 :D  Sorry. I'll call it the 'good old days' instead then.

Si, it did not hurt my brain  :(  what exactly are you trying to say?

Good old days still sounds pretty old. I'd like to see some of those picture though,  wembley 93 was one of the greatest days ever.

Could we just lose the "old" bit.

I'm desperately trying to cling onto some illusion of youth here.

What's supposed to have hurt your brain anyway?

Everyones so random today

www.swindon-town-fc.co.uk for all your nostalgic needs.

:D  Take it thats a no then. Tight bastards.

I thought it was a good idea Sade, they've got a separate section on the L & P forum (Down memory lane) so no reason why they couldn't have one on here.

i honestly don't think it'll get used, i like the idea though.

It probably wouldn't get used as much as the other sections I agree Sonic, but it's more the sort of section where you can dip in and out of at any time. As it's about stuff in the past it doesn't matter when people post/reply etc.

Glad you like the idea.
