i didn't know where to put this! but apprantley...this is the song for the season we got promoted to the premiership in 1993.

just watching it makes me think will i ever see a successful swindon team? cause for 10 years i have watched mostly crap grace the county ground, and it does sadden me hearing all your tales from these times, cause i know, that swindon will probably never make the premiership again.

Fucking ace  8)

The start doesn't half remind me of a cross between a school educational video or a Government infomercial from the 70's.

www.swindon-town-fc.co.uk is in a different league.

fuckin brilliant nice work johno

Ha that's class. Brilliant seeing all the fans in that aspect at wembley. That's why i'll resent fucking Virgo for a long time as those kind of days were and are special. Still I can't complain too much after seeing your side win two play-off finals to the top league at wembley.

Also in 93 I remember swindon cable having that song on constantly  8)

Quality.

It won't work for me. But I know someone who actually owns the cassette single.
I remember borrowing it and recording it back when I was at school.
So I have it on recorded cassette somewhere in my cupboard.
Surley Reg bought it?

Does anyone know how to rip it. and put it in the download section? I want to copy it for my mate.

Ace !

God i can remember having that song playing over and over again after the play off final against Leicester. :-))(

ahahahahaha :D

The guitar solo :D

who is it sang by?

Ive gone that on tape .. oh that was great brought back some fantastic memories! :beers:

I love you johno (said like gumbo in ID) I have that on video but think its at maries, will have to get it back, the memories of 93 are still so clear

that was class, the good old days when i was 11!

I think it was Danny ???????
Can't remember the surname, for some reason I think it's danny something. :roll:

Right click the link and do "Save target as" to download the video...

Quality, never seen that video but remember the song oh so well, although I was embarassed of it at the time!!

Im still embarassed of it!.

It brought a smile to my face today though instead of a cringe.

The only thing that song is good for is reminiscing about the good times.

Very true, and they were good times. Wasn't it written to highlight the injustice of the demotion after we beat Sunderland in 90? I remember smashing my radio and crying when they announced the news we'ed been demoted to div 3 - I was out playing footie with my mates who all used to go to the games and we had a portable radio waiting for the result of the hearing - it got smashed to pieces.

I was much happier after the 2nd visit to Wembley in 93, but remember shitting my pants (not literally!) when Leicester scored those 3 quick fire goals, but good old chalky came off the bench at won us that pen. I met him about 5 years ago at my mates wedding (my mate used to play for Bath City) and it was when Bodin and White were both there, I was so pissed I got down on my knees at the reception and hailed chalky as my hero and said I wasn't worthy enough to even speak to him! He was a nice bloke though and told me to get up and bought me a beer.

Sent a shiver down my spine...class.

Johno, cheers for that fella, that song brings back so many memories, especially the shot of the ground at the start.  Almost brought a tear to my eye!!

Like I've said before the feelings I experienced during those seasons is probably the reason why I still go.  Like a high from a drug I suppose.

Defo "Post of the Month" for me - gold star to Johno!

Spuddy, i'm loving the Monkfish avatar and slogan :soapy tit wank:

Thanks, John Monkfish is a legend!. I couldnt fit his whole phrase of "Oi love, put your knickers back on and make me a cup of tea!" in. :(

Here's my 2005 version of the song - it kept me busy for a minute or two

So here we are,
many years from Eric and John Moncur,
From the Premier to' third we made it
And when Razor wanted his money we paid it
And now Super Sam has gone
 
Oh how Stuart Mac cried,
losing 7-0 at Bolton - no place to hide
Now Swindon Borough Council - they deny us
and next year you will find us
Playing in Chippenham
 
League 1 we belong
We've been here for so long
Now most of our fans have gone
 
League 1 we belong
This division ain't that strong
We'll be bankrupt before too long

**queue the guitar solo**

Nice work.  :king:

How sadly very true...

Top tune!
