This is something that's been irking me for far too long.
Why on earth would you as a Swindon Fan go out of your way to give your own players grief by berating
them on Twitter?
I'm sick of these johnnie big bollox types who do this and claim to be a supporter.
There's no place for it and seeing as how these "fans" have profile pictures I sincerely hope the players or club can pick them out
at a game in the future and call them on their behaviour.
People talk about our players
letting us down these past few weeks, I'm more appalled with
some of the Swindon fans on social networks with no social skills.
Foderingham, Ferry and Flint have taken the brunt of it this past week.
There is an arguement of course to say the players should not be on there at all.

The players should not go on twitter imo.
But cretin fans are there in the grounds too.

I'm sure some of them are not Town fans at all. In a similar vein, it's pretty obvious that some of the texts read out on BBC Radio Wiltshire after match commentaries are rival fans on a wind up. The internet allows anonymity.

And you can console yourself with the thought that it's not just us with idiot fans. Happens everywhere. |

Part of me Agrees there Arriba but i just think how great it must be as a younger supporter to connect with the players a bit more, it's just a shame they use it in the wrong way. Trust me the Twitter one's are Swindon fans.
And true I've seen worse given out.
As i said it's just something that i think could be stamped out by a Swindon Profile keeping an eye on the players RT's when they get something wrong.
An email from the club of some sort I'm sure would make them think twice before doing it again.

Like Ardiles says i am sure that not all of them are Swindon fans, they just pretend to be.

From the station at Colchester
To the cells of Warrington
From the services at Leicester
To the slums of Northampton
We travel over England
And one day Europe too
Cos we all follow the Swindon
We're the famous Town End crew.

Stop having a real life and post lots of inane crap. Oh and follow lots of people in the pathetic hope that they'll follow you; thus making you feel popular. |

I signed up to twitter a few days ago because my brother told me it was a good way to get club news. I follow 5 people, all STFC related and have yet to 'tweet'. I'm not sure I ever will.
