Who is going and wants to go for a drink? Myself, Whits and Tom are probably all meeting up - anyone else in?

you may even get to meet my old man as I'm forcing him to come along (i.e. drive me) 8)

have you worked out where we are drinkin?

I'll go if you touch my willy

If Cliff Hercules was still involved with the Ducks, then  attendance would be compulsory.

 Got to be the best name for a non league footballer ever.

How far away is Aylesbury?

 Its a small town in O*ford.

56 miles from Swindon.

Ummmm, might have to take a visit then.

bar at the ground, we'll find something, I'm a booze hound 8)

There's got to be an offy round the corner from the ground.

Don't get too carried away with the booze, I've got to drive. :(

Still, can have a couple. :cheers:

Im at Fulham Vs Celtic next week im afraid!

Boooooooo! come on Fulham. :D

Your a good lad spud. http://67.18.37.16/525/186/emo/fing32.gif

Thanks, i dont like Fulham i just hate Celtic.

Anyone know what kind of team we'll have out today? Will 'Curo' and 'Thorpey' be making their debuts? :-))(

no news on club website or thisis......anyone know whats going on?  :?

The official site is crap, i thought they would have put some team news up.

Exactly!

I want to know how we are getting on! Can't find out anywhere! :x

Weve got to remember that communication with the supporters is not Swindon's strong point. :evil:

Doubt we'll here anything until the guy's from this site who went get home and post. Tom should be first back, then Whits.

Does nobody at the game have a mobile to keep us updated?  :evil:

Thats exactly what i was thinking. :roll:

half time: 0-0 Thorpe is playing, Whalley, Cureton, Nicolau and Roberts are also playing, there have been a couple of chances for swindon in the first half.

Cheers stfc11 :mrgreen:

It would be very embarrasing if we drew :?

0-0 with 3 forwards on the pitch!  :oops:

guess Constable will be on in the second half! :-))(

thats alright mate, i'll try and find out the final score at 4:45  8)

 Not at all, Crawley are a side on the up.....recently had a major injection of cash, Conference is a good standard.

 I'm fullly expecting to lose.

We aren't playing Crawley today, we are playing the mighty ducks of aylesbury.

We do have loads of trialists on the pitch, although we are a league 1 team drawing with a non league team.  :oops:

whats the final score?????

:oops:  too many beers last night,..... must engage brain......OK I'd expect at least a draw  then

Don't worry, all these non league teams we are playing must be exciting your mind too much!!  :soapy tit wank:

Weve got a strong side out yet were drawing with Aylesbury, oh dear!. :|

It's only pre-season I'm not really bothered about the score as long as no-one gets injured and the players look match fit.

Preseason counts for nothing. We could beat Chelsea and it still wouldn't mean anything come the 1st league game.

I'll reserve panick for then.

 Very true....but if you can achieve the fitness aims and get a reasonable result its got to be preferable.

Aylesbury 1 Swindon 2

 Cureton with 15 minutes to go and Fallon with 12 minutes to go, Migs had to go off with an injury.. we had to have an Aylesbury player play for us as we used up all our subs when Migs was injured...and his cross helped us win!

Text from Sonic:

We won 2-1, Fallon and Cureton. He'll post some pics later.

Woo hoo!  :beers:

suppose we had Matty Buleman in goal, or was it Rhys Evans. We haven't kept clean sheets aganst two non-league sides, but if they put in a good performance it doesn't really matter.

 Well done for being in first with the news......bit of a worry about Migs, unfortunately he's turning into a sicknote.

Beat me to it. A win is great, but the injury is a concern. :|

Brilliant news about the win but shame bout migs tho  :?

hopefully nothing to worry about, but with his track record you just cant help but think its serious

It's just another good player added to the injured list.  :(

i don't think it's too seriousy, he managed to walk off, could just be a precautionary measure

Out of interest....how did you get this up so quickly?

I hope Migz injury isnt serious, we badly missed him last season

Maybe they just didnt want to risk him anymore after getting a knock?, lets hope so anyway.

BBC radio Swindon  :D

The official site has been about as helpful as a kick up the arse today.  :fu:

The person in charge of updating it is probably enjoying that Aylesbury sun too much!. :evil:

On a lighter note, Yeading 2, Oxford 0. I take back what I said about preseason friendlies!

Bloody hell, I was about to post that! Everyone beats me to it!

That result made I larf!! :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

Oxford thread.

Right I guess Im the first Townender who went to post then.  :oops:  Fucking embaresment, but Im going to Middx V Gloucs tommorow so I need to preserve my wallet and my gut (to some degree). And I only went cos a few mates said theyd pick me up after work. Pleasantly suprised by the quality team we put out tho, basically the first XI.

Whalley is slick as fuck. He is a smooth smooth operator. He played some passes that the other lads simply were not picking up. Better passer than Migs and seems to have great positional sense. To me he looks like hes got 'a football brain', quality. Could be a joy to watch this season? Perhaps too simmilar to Migs to play together? we shall see.

Thorpe and Cureton had some decent link up but both look out of sorts, especially Cureton. Nicolau looked good first half, much improved than on Ciren. Migzy was putting himself about a bit more, went in for a few crunching tackles  :shock: , but I think we all know he cant play that game, it will be the end of his season before september.

Pleased to see Fallon get a goal, he really deserved it, he was unlucky 3 times at Ciren and 3 times before he scored today. Shakes needs to improve his crossing but has potential to excite. Roberts played the wing without a single utterance of complaint. Thorpe though, IS mouthy, he has a real go when the ball doesnt come his way (but its not always a bad thing, esp if hes popular in training, he will get away with it).

Overall not too good though. Nowhere near a team, still just a group of quality players.

Very nice non league ground though. Away segregation. Good terracing. Good cover. Good bar.

Aylesbury report, Matt Heywood?


http://www.aylesburyunited.co.uk/matches.php?match=1491

Bit harsh! I didn't think we were that bad, played some tidy football and looked fit enough. Still a little rusty and the players really do need to gel. Stef was head and shoulders above the rest today, top drawer and Whalley looked handy as well. In fact, I was impressed by all the new players, they all looked quite good.

Nicholas was well out of sorts though, very poor. Bulman didn't impress me much either.

Best bit was when the Aylesbury lad came on and set up our goal, absolutely brilliant 8)

I took a load of pictures, you can view them here (http://homepage.ntlworld.com/jameswalsh/aylesbury/).

Good to see us playing in all-red, long may it continue! Are we saving the new kit for the start of the season?

Spose, but Aylesbury are amateurs and despite loads of chances in the end we were lucky to win! All I can say is a shit pre season is a good kick up the arse. Its no good winning 6-0 all summer (I mean that). Otherwise you get 11 cocky Igoe/Howard hibreeds on first day of the season.

Nice pics.

 :mrgreen:

i have to say wells was alot better than thursday. he looked lively, as did poooooooky.

whalley n migs were class in the first half. nicolau doesn't seem to like to get to the byline and cross the ball, seems to cut back onto weaker foot...shakes aswell looks like an out n out winger but then doesn't provide....YET!

on the whole alot better prospect(in theory) than we've had in seasons

quite worried to see roberts starting on the right wing.....

To be honest I was expecting our players to still be a bit rusty. Give em time...

ha ha spencer that pic's made me laugh. in some ways I should have gone.  Went to fulham vs celtic, another ground but thats all teh highlight was.  No real action, 0-0.  Good day out tho and was absolutely wrecked by the time I got back to swindon at 9.  Headed to a 21st then onto walkabout.

Barnsley getting close now!

Celtic! Booooooooooooooooooo!. Their new Green kit is wank.[/b]

I dont support them a few mates do and I went for the day out.

I prefer Rangers myself. :beers:

Scumbags!!
