just been announced.

12:15 kick off

Rotherham, OK then...

Not many League 2 teams get on Sky so thats decent.

Bit of a wierd choice, but not complaining.

Yeah, just thought they may have gone with a more local theme with Cheltenham and Oxford coming close in early season.

Not complaining though.

I think it's a international weekend so League 2 teams are normally shown then. Can't believe it'll be our 8th live game in just under a year and a half. Only lost one aswell.

Its because Adam Le Fondre will be playing against his old club!

Must be an international weekend....so surely we'll have a raft of international call ups for micro countries. Last season's sack of shit could actually get themselves up for a bit of preening on Sky, or ESPN.  Fuck knows what this season mongrel hotch potch will be like....

That's Glenville Adam J. le Fondre of Stockportese decendency.

With our exotic sounding Italian, Estonian and possibly Brazilians you wouldn't want him to miss out on the funny name stakes.

FFS. We normally play shite when kicking off early.

That was last season's lot though....hadn't shaken off their hangovers.

Well we're fucked for both Oxford games as well then.

So...from a sack of shit last season to a mongrel hotch potch this....I guess we're going in the right direction eh Reg? 8)

I can confirm it is indeed an international weekend. I will be in the Scottish Borders and was hoping to catch a game at Berwick Rangers or failing that, somewhere in the Edinburgh area. Thanks to the internationals though, the Jocks have left that weekend completely free. No games whatsoever FFS!! What's the point in that? And I guess not too many pubs in Berwick-Upon-Tweed will be showing Swindon v Rotherham....why do you mock me oh God?? :crash:

Shame, got loads of games this season that will have fans on the bank, and would have looked good on TV. Not this one, will be a poor advertisement.

Away from home we should also be quite a big draw. Lots of games that would have been worth televising.

I'd imagine this is more about Di Canio than Swindon. Nothing wrong with that though and it's just one of many ways he will be bringing more income to the club. Wouldn't be surprised if we get another game or two.

why not the pox??

Yes indeed...what have been great for my work colleagues to watch the mighty Town.

Two teams they think will be there or there abouts come the end of the season?

Possibly, probably got more to do with PDC.

That'll explain the half time slab of Stella Wilson was often seen carrying in to the dressing room then.

As others have said, they chose the date then the game, rather than looking for good fixtures.

Opening couple of weeks of the Prem. It's not on the International break. Anyone that gives a fuck will be at the game.

Nobody would turn up i reckon...

I look forward to pleading with a Newcastle based landlord to put the game on. Mind you, the Geordies are quite good when it comes to that unlike the Plymouth pubs I experienced in the past.

"The rugby is on" is not an excuse.
