At home to Stevenage Borough.  Not too confident, should squeeze through though.

Out to a non-league team, that should seal Kings fate :twisted:

Anyone remember that FA cup tie where Grazioli scored their second?

Yep, one of the worst experiences of my life.  Why the fuck did no defenders come short to get the ball from goal kicks etc? It was far too windy to just hump it forward.

Yeah-Wally scored a wind assisted cracker then it all went tits-up.After that game I 8 Razor(then 10 yrs old)threw his Town shirt in the dustbin.Took him a long time to recover from that!

Not the best tie, means we'll probably end up going out to a non league team! :evil:

Its a fucking disaster.....it took me about 3 years to recover from the humiliation.

 My younger son, hasn't been to a home game since....he's done  a few away but with similar bad results.

I doubt King will be manager then anyway so if we lose we will have to find something else to blame it on.

I'm still recovering from last time.

Who else reckons they'll not open the Town End for this game and charge full price for everyone?

£23 for an LDV tie against Stevenage Borough - makes you want to kill yourself, doesn't it?

As much as it raises a wry smile that's nothing short of tragic at 10yrs old.

Digby's kicking was diabolical at the best of times, but in that wind I don't think he found a Swindon player all day. I seem to remember a goal kick off the ground that almost ended up flying back past him into the goal

yeah i'm sure one of Digby's kicks went out for a corner, ridiculous conditions.

God it was awful,i remember quite clearly watching fron the Intel stand in horror,as the ball just hung in the air and fell for stevenage and they scored   :cry: .We all could see how bad the wind was,but the players kept on passing back to digby :x  . Now everytime the weather is like that at a game we always remember stevenage :( .
