They've certainly not been shy to get out the cheque book and long may it continue. We'd be right up shit street if they didn't

The fact they have committed another £2M is good, but the fact they are looking for further investors always rings slight panic. How I'd read it is that the current level of investment isn't sustainable. Which if correct isn't a surprise but is a slight long term concern. Equally what it could mean is they simply need more cash to sustain championship football if it is ever achieved. Or one of the current investors is pulling out sometime soonish. Or, or... Actually I don't have a clue. Only that it could be good or bad

Think this is a possibility. Wouldn't be one of the people that actively involved in the day-to-day running of the club though and so shouldn't be a cause of great concern as long as his investment is then covered by the other board members or an outside source.

They said from day one they'd be looking at further investment as time goes by, particularly for stadium investment.
Stop your panicking, it's all part of the plan.

As the club as a whole grows so must the investment/investors. Not many clubs gain promotion without extra investment and I guess it's when sides fail to deliver after a couple of seasons that investors start to question where their cash is going.

Not sure I like the fact that they've made the amount public, would prefer this to have been kept quiet. Once clubs know we have some additional cash to splash, inflation kicks in and it's likely that we'll end up paying over the odds.

Yep, they'll want a million for constable now. Who incidentally was back page news in the local rag today. It was supposed to be big news as well. All it was, was Gene Wilder put his arm round him and told him he was the main man

Let's hope our scepticism proves groundless ( maybe I should have phrasd that differently)

I read it as they wanted more investors for the redevelopment.

Thats exactly what it says. They've pumped in the extra 2 mill to get promotion.

Well I never thought I'd live to see the day when the words 'Swindon Town' and '£2million pound investment' were used in the same sentence. Now that I have, I'm absolutely fucked if I'm going to put a negative spin on it. Happy days

Yeah somewhere a wormhole opened up and we're in a reverse reality. I'll wake up in the morning be 6 foot 2 and sober.
