Looking forward to this. We'd better win. Arrow @ 1315 is my plan.

After Northampton Tuesday I have been looking forward to this all week.
Its another big big game, a win today will go a long way to confirming survival.
Should be a large away following and a good atmosphere, has all the makings of a great away day.

Come on Swindon, put them away!
Getting ahead of myself, I think that if we can continue to hammer out wins it sets things up beautifully for next season. Last time we had a really strong finnish to a season was 2002-03, and look what happened after that?
Im sick and at home, but COME ON YOU REDS! (We'd better not be wearing our away kit!).
Townenda, are you heading back to the TE next season?

Not sure yet, I do miss singing all game and the atmosphere from a few years back was great so if it could ever return to that it would be appealing. Will make a decision on my April pay day on which stand, are you boys heading back Spencer?

Yes mate, we are all going back. Ive sneaked in there with my DRS season ticket a few times, and its nice and empty again, so hopefully plenty of room at 2.58pm at the first stairwell. This season has been the most dissapointing I can ever remmember in terms of away supporters on the bank, which is when you get the real fun of being in the south stand. Just Leeds, Leicester (half full!!?) and surely Rovers on the bank in the league, which is a pitiful turnout. It seems to be the way things are going, so in my view the south stand isnt really worth the half time beer anymore. Plus the side stands are going up to £22 matchday, which wont be popular. And to be fair, Ive been quite impressed with the TE these last few months, much better support.

From what I remember it was almost impossible to create much of an atmosphere on that open terrace

On an open terrace you think you are quiet, but actually the other team can usually hear you loud and clear.
Bournemouth last season I went in the home end, and you could hear it clear as day from the Swindon fans in the open end. You just have to be persistent.
Classic open end away day - last game v Oxford at the Manor? Problem that day was that everyone was singing different songs all the time. Classic game. Still awaiting that to be uplifted to youtube.

Yeovil managed 4 in a row, if they can we can!

i am confident of 4 wins in 4 today. Setting of in about an hour. 2-0 Swindon. Shame that David Noble is playing Yeovil
Noble might take a game or two to get going. This is the best time to play them before the team gets settled. Skiverton may be out. After the win at Northampton, a point will be acceptable. It keeps the distance as it was at kick-off.

A win today takes us 8 points clear of the bottom. If brighton fail to beat tranmere then i think the only team to be a threat is yeovil. i can't see them making the 8pt gap with the games remaining, so a win today will keep us up. a draw will be satisfactory, and a loss will see us going back in time two weeks to the times where going down was the only thing people could think of.
that being said,im optimistic.

A draw would be a superb result today, for the reasons others have given. A few weeks ago I was saying only wins would do...but having now put a few together, we can afford a few draws in games like these.
That said, a win would be special today. It would start me thinking in terms of probably staying up (rather than hopefully staying up.)

PS And who the f**k are Yeovil, anyway? We've been spending too long in the lower leagues of late.

Yeovil have Northampton on Tuesday at home. With today, Yeovil have two games to save their season. They should be nervous. Pook on the bench.
