Whos doing this then?  I hope they are operating the Park and Ride they did last time (If the bus turns up at the end mind).

Can anyone remember how long it took them to drive there last time as not sure whether to go straight from work or not?

Don't be scared of the Welsh, we're friendly, honest!

This is my home game. The ground is about 10 minutes from my house.

There are a few pubs in the vacinity (besides a dodgy chain place). Not sure where away fans are welcome mind.

Journey to Swindon taken about 1 hour 45. 45 to the bridge, and an hour from there.

I can't wait! Think we have much more chance of winning (and me being smug for a good few weeks) than last time we went there.

Ticket office are a bunch of cunts:

"You are currently in position.... 1...."
Music for about 15 seconds....
"Thank you for calling Swindon Town's pathetic excuse for a ticket office, due to high call volumes, hence you being the only caller in the queue, you will have to call back later. Thank you and fuck off!"

Lazy, fag smoking, hands behind the head, feet on the desk wankers i expect.

When i think of the ticket office, i imagine it to be like the police station in the Simpsons and the person answering the phone to be Police Chief Wiggum.

Phew, I just spent the last 45 mins on the phone trying to organise me and my 52 mates' tickets. Apparently the guy on the end of the phone said someone in the queue behind me kept getting cut off.

The stacking system is fooked.

Theres a working mans club with a 'Skol' sign on it across the road. I doubt Id risk that even on your average monday night!  :run: As has been said before, they serve in the ground.

Played very well last time we went there, 1-1. Probably the first game where I thought Lukas really would make it.

I went in there in the end. They told me they've recently stopped using the number i called! FFS, turn it of then, leave a message, i was only calling it for fucking hours and have purchased on that number this season! :D Thoughtful.

Umm we lost 2-1. Shakes put us in front, we should of had a penalty, then fallon came on and changed the game and we lost and got relegated. The end.

The ticket office staff are spot on Barry and if you got the number wrong its not the staffs fault.

No doubt, i know they are (wasn't aware they also dealt with the phones). It's extremely frustrating not getting through when told you're first in the queue and you are dialing every so often for a few hours - the reason behind my earlier anger is clear.

Okay so it's not their responsibility to close the line, but as is already clear, i was not aware they only use another number now. Someone should close the old line, or leave a message with the new number should they not?
