So far it has been a disappointing season compared to the expectations and in the light of last seasons magnificant results.

Well for one thing, I wasn't that optimistic in front of this season as others - I rarely am. The minute I got confirmed the news that Gordon Greer was sold to Brighton and Wilson said he wouldn't rush in to buy a replacement I felt a little empty and a little pessimistic. I think Greer was a pillar last season and with his experience and his being I doubted that neither Cuthbert, Morrison or Jean-Francois was the right replacement as the towering leader in the back four.

Never the less it's a team's game, and as I've heard all three of them has had both good and bad games so far this season. I really hope that we can sign an experienced defender/centre back by the time of the transfer window closing tomorrow night. Or else I guess I will become a bit more pessimistic.

I salute Danny Wilsons brilliant signings this summer though. Caddis, Ferry, Dossevi, Rose and Prutton. Sounds brilliant, and hopefully they will grow into their roles and the team. I am a little surprised that Prutton has got the nod on behalf of Ferry in some of the early games. I would perhaps like to see the three of them in the middle of the park at once, with full backs as wingers - just as the good ole' Nicky Summerbee-days. 5-3-2 (defensive) / 3-5-2 (offensive)

Simon Ferry is too good for the bench. Also I think Thomas Dossevi will be a very good signing once toughened and familiar with the british style of play. And if we sign up Alan Gow we will get another alterative offensivly as well!

Now sign up a couple of central defenders by the time of tomorrow, Danny - and I will once again be as optimistic (!) as always !

OH, AND BY THE WAY! Our norwegian homepage sadly got defunct by their fellow owner in august, so I decided to start up a new website in norwegian for Norwegian Swindon Town-fans

Please visit www.heiaswindon.com (http://www.heiaswindon.com) sometime! I am still learning WordPress so be patient - the site isn't near what I would like it to be yet - but please have a look!! :)

COME ON YOU REDS!


NorwayRed - Swindon forever!

Fucking hell we have a Norwegian website.   :D

NorwayRed looks like a real viking as well.

Nice work there NR

Norway is now my favourite Skandy country, much better than those boring Swedes!

God................... Fair Play NR


Edit ; wish I could understand it nut it looks damn good

open the page using google chrome, it should give you the option to translate at the top of the screen

I like it that way

My translation works better

Norway Red, great work son. Having lived in Sweden for a few years I can actually read the majority of it as well!

Someone should get NorwayRed featured on SoccerAM

Why the hell does he deserve that kind of punishment?

Dunno. Thought thats what the cool kids watch and thought it might be good to have a feature on the Town and its overseas contingent. Must admit to not having watched it more than a couple of times since Gary Stevens presented it.

That site is so up to date.

I would like to see the Adver replicate the headline 'Swindon senket Southampton'  and use a few choice quotes like
'I det 63. minutt doblet Swindon ledelsen da Charlie Austin' 

It is always good to read about how Charlie Austin doblet the lead-el-son.

Fantastic work NR, real dedication. 

Yep good site NR, 1 question, where did you get the squad photo's? Our lot look a right bunch of mongers ;)

They're from the official site but you're right, it looks like the theme of the day was gurning

Why are you a town fan NR?

J.A.F !

Thanks guys!

I am using pictures from the Official site mainly, as I've got a written permission light from the club to use them for the site as long as it is non-commercial.

On why I'm a Swindon-fan, the story has been published a few times here. You can read it on "Om oss" on www.heiaswindon.com. I guess it might be understandable if using some translator programme or something?

Or else you can read older posts I've posted here - I do think I've posted that story about how I become a Swindon-fan on TEF before :)

Come on you Reds!!

 :nod:

Good story and fair play to you for sticking by town throughout the years.

I often wonder how many town fans there are here in China.  Right now I have a band of friends who support the town as their second team which is pretty good because I have people to talk to about town games.

Did you recruit them, and also do you have to be careful when shouting "Red Army"?

I've published a meta section on the www.heiaswindon.com so interested people can register to the site

COYR!

Charlie Austin - Spiss

........well .........   right.....

At least two, you and my old man

If anyone ever thinks about calling us a Mickey Mouse club ever again, I'm just going to direct them to this site.  F##k me...a Norwegian website!  This is brilliant.  I'll wager Oxford haven't got one of these.

Fair play, NR.  I may even take up Norwegian lessons.

Where does your old man live?

In a cup?

Pu Dong. Shanghai...has done for nearly two years now
