or how far teams like Burton and FGR have progressed, Swindon haven't moved in stature much in the last 120 years, bouncing between L1 and 2, where as teams like FGR, Burton, Bournemouth and Swansea have got a lot of investment and progressed to be on the same level as teams which they only dreamed of playing 10 years ago.
Now FGR are in the league, yes we will be competing with them as to a player, it doesn't really matter on the history of the club, just what league they are in and what wages they are paying. FGR won't be paying anymore than us for players so it will come down to the players preference.

This is the first season I've seen us in the basement where we really feel like we are there on (lack of) merit, rather than a bigger club on a blip.
Happy with pre-season, and the change of focus seems positive for our current situation. We just feel like a league 2 team this year.
I'm happy enough with that... it's feeling like a non league team that I want to avoid... there are elements of how the club is run, which wouldn't look out of place at that level. I'm reasonably optimistic that Flitcroft has enough about him to stop the rot. |

But my words like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the wells of silence
And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon God they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
And the words that it was forming

Liam Trotter to AFC Wimbledon. Good signing. Would have been happy to see him here.

It's really tickled me. The collective belief amongst their fanbase that they're some kind of sleeping giant has rotted their brains so much that without a second thought they actually thought they had a Dutch international on trial.
They've been inhaling too many smoke bombs.

I see John Lundstram the Pox captain was sold to Sheff Utd yesterday and brought in an injury prone 33 year old CB Williamson, they have lost a fair few of their better players this summer. I wouldn't be happy if I was a fan of theirs...but luckily I am not  |
