A northern team away for me. Don't want Rovers as we don't get enough tickets, or not for a opening day game anyway.

I started supporting swindon in the year 2000, but when I say i've been supporting swindon for 6 years it sounds better  My sister is 4 years younger than me and has been going with my dad since she was about 5 so she always uses that against me. |

Although I was born in Swindon I have lived away from the area for most of my life, moved back to Cirencester 4 Yrs ago. Up until then I had no real interest in football in general, then sister in laws fella (who has supported Swindon for over 20yrs) got me a ticket to Blackpool during the playoff season. One game was enough to get me hooked, bought the end of season ticket that season and had a full season ticket ever since. I was 29 when I first attended a game. It doesn't mean I support the team any less than those who have done since childhood, in fact my now brother in law who first got me into STFC now only attends "big" home games.

I spent most of my childhood turning down offers to go and watch City One of my best mates was a Swindon fan and after talking to him one day I decided to listen on the radio to the game vs. QPR at home in the Premiership, then convinced a couple of lads we should go on the Saturday, and the rest as they say, is history. |

Same as. My uncle bristol city fan was going to come on here and post a picture of me when I was a toddler wearing a city shirt and a city hat(not by choice) :shock: Buggers. How times have changed. |

i love your story of how you[and your better half  ] got into us,its brilliant!It seems like a kind of conversion Coming from Didcot,my Dad decided to take us to a game,but we didn't have a local team really so my Dad picked a team with a good ground,bit of a shit reason  At the time that meant us[it was during the Hoddle era too i confess]cause Readings and poxfords were cowsheds basically.I've never regretted it ever  |

I'd like a game against a team by the seaside. Are there any teams in our league by the sea? |

The league computer has a few stops on it for first game of the season.....no derbies....no seaside unless its Grimsby.
There appears to be a certain mileage equation.....Yorkshire or Wrexham seems a popular venue.....or they'll visit us. Stanley would be a possibility...
