Ask the Franchise fans who they supported 10 years ago please.

Haha cheers mate, I will do! Get following and Liking mate!

Oh no, Sam Smith

Who is Sam Smith?

Twitter fiend. Can i get an RT?

Shit northern beer

http://www.samuelsmithsbrewery.co.uk/

Not to whinge about your spirit, but do we need more than one?

I did not create the page at all mate, another guy did and asked me too help. We get a lot of interaction from fans so can't be that bad, just giving that little bit extra with blogs etc. You don't have to like or follow, would appreciate it though.

Ah no, of course. I was being an unneccesary grump. All the best

I like a Samuel Smith's pub (and their beers)... the one in Oxford is pretty decent.

Samuel Smiths make some fantastic beers, unlike the "John Smiths" shite. I agree about the Samuel Smiths pub in the centre of Oxford, a nice place in a horrible location!

Describing the centre of Oxford as horrible is just absurd.

Nah I just don't like it there. I have had a lot of bad experiences there and not related to football either.

I'm basing my opinion on my only ever taste of a Sam Smith's pint on a previous visit to Scunthorpe. It was about £1.20 a pint and looked and tasted like dishwater. I suppose it could've just been the hostelry.

Not true, their stout is great...just seen your last post, try a different brew next time!

Hi Sam,

Good work with the pages. I would be willing to 'pass on' some of my inside information for a small monthly fee. Just search for my scoop on a certain Paul Duffen for an example of the extent of my knowledge.

PM if you wish to discuss this further.

Regards

CHRIS_STFC

You are kidding, aren't you?

You must be. Surely!

Did you fail to matriculate in Greats?

I'll second that, there's a Samuel Smiths pub in Marylebone, The Angel in the Fields, the stout is great.

A few doors down is a fantastic sit down fish and chips, The Golden Hind

http://www.timeout.com/london/restaurants/golden-hind

If you're in that area of London, well worth checking out.

No :) I had an attempted mugging against me in the city centre and also had 2 cars stolen in Swindon by some Poxford scumbags that were caught racing them in the city centre (on seperate occassions!).

The thing with Sam Smith's is that down the about the midlands it is cask but further south it tends to be nitrokeg. So in the north you can get a bad pint (or a much better one) in the south it will be uniform.

But that Sam Smith- he's just a pain on Twitter, makes Dan The Fan seem insightful.

I live oop north and there are several Sam Smith's pubs around here.  As far as I can recall, all of the draft products are "own brand" so that includes the lager (2 types I think), stout, cider, cask bitter and keg "smooth" bitter.  I suppose it's possible that the smooth travels better and is therefore more common down south, but I would have thought the type you get just depends on which sort the landlord decides to stock? 

All of the bottles, spirits, cordials, pops are non-branded as well so if you're getting a round for two, you can usually get some decent change out of a fiver regardless of what two drinks you get.

I love Sam Smiths!

Cheers Chris, will PM you now.

 :no:

What's that for?

[url width=480 height=463]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v490/jamiethon/janeway_zps6d65e811.jpg[/url]

Because if he gives you a scoops that actually comes true the world will spin off its axis

Cheers for your support mate!

Trololololololol

Not having a dig, but what is it that these pages are offering? Do Town fans really need more places to discuss the club online? Good luck to you, but between here, thisis and the main fans facebook page think it's a somewhat saturated market unless you're doing something different.

There's extreme mind-blowing fuckwittery.... then there's looking to Chris for STFC scoops.

It's called attention seeking.

It's called poaching  :)

Hi mate, we are just offering different discussions and debates on twitter and facebook. Introducing new blogs which are good reads. We already have our first lot up if you would like to see them. http://swindontownfc.webnode.com/away-days/
Check them out and let us know what you think.

The question is... when is a 'scoop' just a 're-scoop' of someone else's 'scoop'

I get a small amount of amusement out of timing how long it takes Sam to re-scoop some someone else's scoop on twitter but most of the time I just think #block#

We are trying our best not too mate, very hard and we are coming up with our own ideas now. Try and support us we really dont need the negativity.

Your requesting people follow you but have spent a fair bit of today falling out with people on Twitter. Not really the best way to go about it Sam.

With tans?

Yeah i know, i said nothing though mate, and i'm gonna stop with the asking for follows! But people do RT for shoutout on twitter anyway. Loads of people do it when they're bored. When you're sat at home revising it's boring mate.

No Not Tans  :) Sam you've just got to ignore some of the twitter Comments and not react to them, Just treat it as banter.

Yeah I take most of it as banter, but there's always one who takes it over the top and it does my head in. I do nothing wrong.

Like all these fans pages lately, most information comes from Sam Morshead Twitter than anything else.

A lot of it does yes, but we aren't just here for news, we are here for discussions with fans, blogs from opponent fans etc.

No that was yesterday 8)

All the badgering of the journos for news and trying to pass it off as a scoop fucks me off too

This isn't about negativity it's about feedback.

It's a fine line... twitter isn't just about how many followers you have, it's about how interesting you make yourself without having to ask for RT's or follows - people will give RT's without you having to ask for them if what you are saying is noteworthy and hasn't already entered their timeline... I think I went through this with you right at the start.

When you constantly ask for follows and RT's, even if you are bored, you are more likely to end up with as many unfollows/blocks as you are new followers so it cancels itself out.

Just keep plugging away and if your blogs are noteworthy your following will grow organically just don't keep asking people to RT - it smacks of spam...

Oh and asking for follows is a pointless request when the people reading it are already following you - you again just look desperate to your existing twitter base

Give the lad a chance - the sites have potential and he is a Swindon fan after all just like the rest of us.

Sam - positive discussions earlier mate and I look forward to seeing the sites move forward.

I went to the homepage.

You lost me at "We are just 2 Swindon Finatics."

I don't even know what is going on here.

He needs to quit wasting his time providing a service isn't needed and that various other outlets already do perfectly well already... it's quite irritating.

It's like a "who's the biggest Swindon fan" competition
Can we have a sicking up smiley?

Just what I was after, cheers!  :girlgiggle:

Hahaha good work stfcchris

Jason roberts player coach and some korean bloke called pierre change eh

I think you'll find it's spelt 'fin.'

I just cracked up at that.

From a 'reliable source' he reckons.

http://lostpedia.wikia.com/wiki/Pierre_Chang

not sure he's the answer to our goalscoring problem

Chris is not the source of all of the news. He's the source of ferry and Franchise away tickets, not the Roberts and the Korean story so leave him out of it!

nope

I don't understand?

I'm almost afraid to ask.

What Ferry news is this?

What happened to those lads running 'Swindon Town Fans' I used to enjoy the blogs and away fan q&a's they did, then it all went quiet??

Puberty?

That's one of the reasons why we've opened up, doing blogs involving away fans, and doing match previews and post match blogs. We've got 3 currently up on the site and have just put up our match preview which was done by matthew peach.

The 'MacDonald out' page has more likes than yours. That can't be good.

Also had to share this https://www.facebook.com/PaoloDiCanioSTFCWembley?fref=ts

Which is just magnificent, frankly. He has good tactics!

[url width=250 height=200]http://i.imgur.com/Vd6OZ9j.gif[/url]

I assume he is set to sit down due to the shock of a player in the third division being offered a 3.5 year contract. Actually thinking about it wouldn't a 3.5 year contrct take him through to September 2016 which seems a strange time to expire.... I suspect the hand of the oracle...

I think you will find that 'The Washbag' does a good job with a lot of that

Does Ferry not have a clause in his contract that he get's another year after x appearances anyway thought it had been mentioned

I think he and McCormack both have them, from what I also remember hearing!

Thanks (as a contrib). So whomever runs this new blog - why not think of doing something to stand out? Do something that thewashbag.com and the Facebook group or swindon-town-fc.co.uk don't do? What about images/photos - a flickr stream old and new? What about humour/jokes? What about fan video? There aren't Swindon sites doing any of these things. Do something that interests you as you are the ones who will have to put the hours in and it will be bloody boring if you are only doing it because someone stopped.

We are getting fan pictures from matches and putting them on our photo gallery on our website mate.

How Did You Manage To Capitalise Every Word's First Letter Without Going Nuts? well, until you got to your first punctuation mark.

Thanks! I did my best!

This was my favourite one regarding Korean striker Pierre Chang:


@SwindonTown21: Yeah I know i've checked. Another #STFC fan has heard of him he use to play for tsixe ntseod in Korea !

(Spell it backwards)

Haha the funny thing is that I went along with it, cause i thought it was pretty good.

I believe they decided the cask beer didn't travel well and converted most Southern pubs to nitro-keg. However, in London the cask beer is available in The Chandos, Princess Louise, Cittie of York and The Old Cheshire Cheese. These are all pubs with great character and the Old Brewery Bitter has only just broken through the £2 a pint barrier. I do miss the stronger Museum Ale which used to be available.

Stop doing this to yourself.

Before you release this "exclusive" just sit back and think about it.

You don't a repeat of the shambles last night

I'm loving this. More please.

Your page is SHIT.

soapy tit wank  :clap:

That's the attitude eh Tans, support the man - remember it's early days and he is doing well so far.

'Boy'

You're right.

Keep it coming!

Why do you keep banging on about the Roberts rumour being true? It was't true at all.

Did you really charge him for your scoops?

Meh, I'm looking forward to this evenings instalment - the page offers something different and who knows, what he posted might well come true?

Nothing to do with me I'm afraid Sonic.

Eh? I have posted about that since the loan deadline?

If you can link me to a post since where I have mentioned him then I will hold my hands up.

Marvin candle from lost coming on trial apparently, along with craig gordon and graham carey

:Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

No problem.

Thanks for the bite.

Good to see he learnt from the Pierre Chang story  :doh:

This has to be a parody site

Fair enough.

Marvin Candle sounds like an awesome name.

HAHAHAHAAHAHA Two Lost characters and Rik fucking Waller, I'm in stitches

Don't know what point you are trying to make.

You posted 'scoop' about Jason Roberts. It turned out to be false.

Correct?

As far as wind-ups/trolling go, this attempt is pretty shit.

Even worse than SONN.

Big Ron?

This must be a fucking troll

I'm starting a new Swindon site that's Swindon players, past, present and (for Chris) imagined, where we photoshop their faces into bukkake action shots.

You coming out of the closet or something G?

Hahahaha

Where has the page gone?

Meh, a decent earner I suppose.

New page @SwindonK this is the last time I will post about it on here so feel free to follow, Rumours, Speculations and Blogs.

More like 'Special K'.

We'll never know as he's never going to post on here about it again.

Lets give the page a chance, eh?

There are plenty of town fans using social media. If the page is any good it will do well without endless plugging on here every 5 minutes

No.

"SwindonK"?

What happened to ABCDEFGHIJ?

Not sure, do you know? :bye: :bye:

They simply weren't retweeted enough.

It's hard not to call into question the imagination (and subsequent potential for interesting written content) of a man who comes up with the Twitter name 'SwindonK,' the facebook page name 'Swindontownfc21' and the TEF username 'Sam9255.'

:D

Oh Dear  :smugfu:

What an imaginative response.

[url width=500 height=375]http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4uiaw1cOq1qm7xkuo1_500.gif[/url]

Is it a coincidence that these pages appear then K-Mac refuses to read social media pages?

It's OK - when Sam becomes the youth Police Commissioner for Wiltshire we can drag this out of his cupboard of skeletons

What in gods name is this??

Say what you see...

(This could be very interesting... Or very disturbing!)

That has to be Tommy Mooney, another Oxford arse related adventure?

@AdverSportCraig: @SwindonK Can you pls remove stories that have been lifted from our site, or at least run just opening par with link to story on our site?

@AdverSportCraig: @SwindonK What you're doing at the moment amounts to plagiarism and our legal team will not be impressed. Thanks.

Tut tut.

:Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

 :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

 :facepalm:

I enjoyed later in the conversation where the little fool claimed he would be doing the Adver a favour by posting the appropriate links to the original article into his posts.

Then naturally he asked for Retweet

Haha, yes:

Swindon In The Know ‏@SwindonK 4h
@AdverSportCraig okay, what do you suggest we do then

 Craig Lyus ‏@AdverSportCraig 4h
@SwindonK What I've just requested is fine legally from your point of view.

 Swindon In The Know ‏@SwindonK 4h
@AdverSportCraig yeah I've done that, I've removed all stories and will start that from tomorrow. Could you give us a RT?

Obvious troll is obvious?

no, he's been around for years. every school holiday.

:Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

You may shrug it off with a laugh, and fair play to you for that, but if you did some research you'd find you are missing so many of the basics. Your website (and your social media efforts) just will not work. I can tell you why if you want my criticism to be constructive.

Spend some time on google, stop believing anybody that says they are a sauce, and then try again.

That's a genuine post. Not taking the piss.

I snogged Adversportcraig once many years ago  :-[

Assuming that post was aimed at me BR, I'm not Sam and I don't have anything to do with these sites/pages bar the odd bit of inside info and fwiw I agree with your post.

Swindon websites are well covered with swindon-town-fc and the washbag as well as this forum.

Furry muff
