I love this thread its so interesting

I was born in Swindon but Grew up in Calne - my Grampy supported Swindon and so did my dad

My dad took me and my sister to Wembley in 93 on a coach trip with Goatacre cricket club and that was it Ive been going ever since  

incidently my mum is not from Calne - hates football especially swindon town and my dad

Dad's family Scottish - mostly Jambo's apart from my Grandad and Dad (who as you probably already know are Hi-bees).

Mum's family Londoners, Grandad was a Leyton Orient/West Ham fan back in the day, but moved to Carterton and had an unhealthy interest in Oxford (my nan still likes to see them do well, so whenever I see her i always ask her how they got on - she replies she doesn't know - so I reply they lost, they're now non league nan, they're that bad...)

I grew up in Calne, went to my first town match in 86, Jimmy Allan's testimonial v Chelsea, went off and on for a few years until my brother could drive then went most weeks from 91.

Gave up when McMahon turned up, then started going a little from 98 (every now and then), then came back properly under Kingy.

No-one at out school supported Swindon except you and Ian though Jan - all the girls in my year were jealous of me cause Ian used to say hello to em cause he knew I supported Swindon  

[Samdy Gray]

My dad's side of the family are all from Alton in Hampshire but my nan and gramp moved here when my gramp left the army in the 70's. My dad's a Chelsea supporter (spit) and my gramp supported and played for Southampton, growing up in Alton they were his local club.

My mum's side of the family have lived in Purton for at least 4 generations. None of them football fans.

I have my uncle (on my mum's side) to thank for getting me into supporting Swindon. He has been going since the late 70's, was (and still is to some extent) a bit of a lad. I think Spencer White probably knows him. He used to take me in the early 90's when you used to get kids in for free on an adult season ticket and then when it was kid for a quid.

Don't tell Ian that he'll be back in Calne before you know it trying to find these "jealous" girls, in an Escott style.

carterton seems to be a hot bed of STFC support

[larwood]

I was born in Oxford JR overlooking the old Manor Ground, so I supported Swindon

Same as.And i'm not ashamed about it either,after all wasn't really a lot i could do about it was there  

My Grandad was from Pewsey and my Dad was born in Savernake forest,so there is a bit of Wiltshire blood in me at least.Although  there is Berkshire and Oxfordshire in the mix as well.

[Arriba]

i'm swindon born and bred.as are my parents and both theirs exept my fathers dad who was a londoner.
my grandad ie mums dad was the only town fan in the family.he died when i was 3 so have no memory of him. my cousins on that side are town fans and they introduced me to stfc as a 11 year old.until then i was a liverpool fanatic.

Isn't that a really really rough area or am I thinking of somewhere else?
