Is this thread a fucking piss take??
By his own admission; he's just moved to a larger house, he's booked a summer holiday - and presumably is in work.
He has made a choice not to go to Wembley as he cant afford to do everything.
So why the fuck should we fund a patronising freebie trip for him, exactly?
This is bollocks. And for that reason, I'm out.
Ok, that's fine.
We all have family commitments and can't always plan our expenditure. The bloke has a young family and I can imagine he has pressures that are much more immediate than his interest in football - or more specifically Swindon Town.
It is not as though he can walk out of his front door at midday on Saturday and stroll down to the County Ground or hop in his car to go to see us play at Hereford though, is it? He has to rely on Sky and Player to get his fix. How many matches has he been to this (brilliant) season so far? None.
So you can take a view on his lifestyle, his priorities and yes, you definitely have.
But what would it mean to you to be given the chance to see the mighty reds at Wembley in a final when you knew that once again you could not be there for whatever reason? The guy lives and breathes STFC. Sure, there are a lot of fans who live overseas and they are surely all as deserving.
For once though. Just once. Can we do something collectively for one Swindon fan who has an accident of geography and make his year?
Yes, you're out. No problem. I'm in.
