For the past few weeks I've been posting a video of the week over on my site.... they aren't getting all that many views, so I thought I'd shamelessly plug them on here.
As it's the first round of the Cup this weekend, this week's footage is from the 1981 tie against Taunton Town:
Enjoy...

I was at that game behind the goal in the Town End. Not one of our better seasons.

Think I was there also, as I remember Pritchards debut, but not the game for some reason. Excellent video BTW.

We were actually drawn away,but the game was switched to the CG,hence the reason why
we were wearing our away kit.
As to the match,we were a dreadful struggling team and lucky to get through.I remember their
goal and Peach's awful backpass.First time i had seen Pritchard and his strong running caught
the eye.
We were very,very lucky that day.Fortunately,i don't think David Peach ever played for us again.

Just looked it up because i had also forgotten! 2nd Round we beat Sutton 2-1 at home. 3rd Round lost at Luton. The year before we were lucky to beat Weymouth at home. |

Went to Luton i think,heavy snow and Rideout had a good goal ruled out....think Horton scored the winner for them. |

I didn't go against Sutton but went to Luton where we were very unlucky. You're right about the snow as we were throwing snowballs at the Luton fans and ripping the piss out of them - which quickly became less funny when 3 of us walked bang smack into the middle of their lads and had to run like fuck to get away from them.

This week's video.... fourteen years ago this week - three goals in fifteen second half minutes, including a rare header from Mark Walters and a great strike by Ty Gooden, hands Swindon a 3-0 win over Barnsley.

Crackerjack! That Gooden strike is a bloody strike. Town looked a pretty decent team back in the heady days of 1996.

A good watch. We had a good team back then it's a shame that Steve Mac decided to do his best to ruin it.

And the cunt succeeded, although Rikkki Hunt deserves some of the 'credit' as well. The McMahon years post-promotion in 95-96 are probably the worst and most depressing of my STFC supporting life. Our record in the last 10 games of that 96-97 season when we looked so good against Barnsley was..P10 W1 D2 L7 F 2 A 24 Pts 5...needless to say our early season form kept us up  To me, the McMahon/Hunt years ripped the heart and soul out of the club and it's only just starting to recover. When you think of what Diamond Mike and his cronies did in the ensuing years, it's absolutely amazing that there's a club left at all. |
