Title: Do you follow any other Swindon teams?

Like the Speedway or Ice hockey?

Supermarine?

Has anyone seen Jamie Cox (I think thats his name) boxing.Big things mapped out for him apparently I noticed Frank Warren saying he was one to watch out for in the future.

I love a bit of boxing so hopefully he will do well it'd be ace to have a Swindon fighter do well.I wonder if he's a Town fan ? Boxers often tap into football crowds to get a  bit of a following.Now that would be ace!

Two of my cousins used to play for them so I saw them once or twice, also played for Peterborough as well, they both still play at the highest level in the UK I think.

I've been following the Speedway since the Robins joined the Elite League and they seem to be rather good this season. They have two of the top riders in the world with Leigh Adams and Lee Richardson.  The promoter, Roscoe seems to be a bit of a character as well.

I sometimes go and watch both Speedway and Ice Hockey, but it is very rare.  I always look out for Darts legend Bob Anderson on tv too.

A mate of a mate of a mate (never met the bloke) used to go to Ice Hockey in the early 90's. He was a bit of a racist so used to indulge in a bit of the old Nazi Saluting. Anyway, a largeish group of skinheads at one Swindon game asked him to come with them to Northern Ireland.  :shock:

I dont know why but I think Ice Hockey is considered a Good Aryan sport, probably because you wont get any black players. In Germany Ice Hockey is very popular in the East and I know they get a lot of trouble at games due to Far right groups.

Thats my only interesting story about Ice Hockey.

I would also happily follow a good Swindon Boxer.
