It's not DRS, the club shop refit has hit the buffers due to costs involved in knocking down the dividing wall between shop and ticket office!!  


CRISIS AT TOWN!!!!!

On a serious note though good news about finally being debt free!

"Come Friday Swindon will be in a better shape financially than they have been for at least a decade, probably longer than that.

This is why its important, that us ordinary fans get behind the new regime and do our bit.....however small it might be.

I agree Reg. Also, the general public no longer have the point that the club has racked up losses and is a drain on resources. We need to show this club can mean something to this town other than being a an activity 'enjoyed' by a minority of the population (an argument I neever did fathom in the first place - STFC has to be the most popular activity in the town after shopping)

Of course I assume we will continue to operate without debt.

  I was thinking about this earlier, having had a  brief chat with Mr Wilks at the Old Bank do....he deserves a bit of credit for sticking his head above the parapet and fronting up an abeit failed attempt to drive out the forces of darkness.

 It did have the effect of telling Newbury their time was up. :D

Agree with that Reg.  Mike Wilkes deserves a friendly pat on the back for standing up to the old lot.  Must have put him in a bit of a sticky situation or two come matchday.  Always seemed to have the best interests of the club at heart.

I know its not easy, but if you can, grab a load of Season ticket leaflets from the club shop, and drop them on tables when you go down the pub.

Everything is looking good at the moment. But I dont think Wray/Fitton/Watkins are going to be too happy if we fail to get this 6,000. Especially when you have clubs like Huddersfield smashing 15,000 season tickets already, and Bradford last year.

A club like ours is always fragile, because we are always out to push above our weight. Unless we are averaging 8500+ there is no way we deserve to go up.

If we play consistently well people will come and we will average above 8500. If we remain rdiculously inconsistent and get stuck in midtable it simply wont happen

So as of today we should be debt free

Fitton out...we're not used to STFC not being in serious debt, it just don't seem right  :-))(

We should get lots of new debt buying ace players. That would definitely work out fine.

You've always been "special" Olive. As those pictures with Bill Power have proved to the world.
