(can someone find me a better picture. I'm being lazy.)
Nothing creates a bit of fun Wednesday afternoon debate like a bit of monopoly.
If one were to create a Swindon Town Monopoly Board, which properties would you replace with which players (past and present)?
I'm guessing the stations could be replaced with managers, and the two utilities with chairmen. But that's up to debate.
Obviously the prices have to stay the same as the originals for balance issues, but I suppose you could multiply them all by 10,000 or something.
Edited to keep up with suggestions:
Brown
Old Kent Road - £60 - Drysdale
Whitechapel Road - £60 - Shaun Close
Light Blue
The Angel Islington - £100
Euston Road - £100
Pentonville Road - £100
Pink
Pall Mall - £140
Whitehall - £140
Northumberland Avenue - £160

Coventry Street - £260
Piccadilly - £280
Green
Regent Street - £300
Oxford Street - £300 - Tommy Mooney
Bond Street - £320 - Sam Parkin

the stations could be the stands?
Old Kent road could be Gary Alexander, or even better Jason Dysdale.
