Still my old man brought me a beer though never been in the Merlin but will definitely pay a visit this season. Will bring Mrs Magic along so she can drive home

Do you still have to get to the Merlin at about 10 in the morning to even get a seat?

do you ever get a few away fans ever try and get in there??? Wouldn't mind being around in there if they did Stockport did. 20 massive old lads. Not too ashamed to say I got my head down and went to the game. They cheated though. Turned up at 5 past 3. Thats only the second time Ive ever seen away fans 'do what they want' if you like in the CGH in 4 years of going. The other was Northampton 01 in a bizarre day. Most dont make it inside the door cos of the bouncers. Occasional small groups. Bradford had a small group, but they had some respect, talked about the football, no problems. Seen numerous legged out of there though. Especially in the 03-04 season. Rammed with hundreds of mad swindon lads every game that season. Most clubs arent brave enough to try, away fans in the CGH is a rare occurrence (3 or 4 times a season). Although its not the fortress it once was (shhhhhh!) with the Bmuth thing. Bristol City LDV was akin to a scene from I.D. Two coppers walked through the pub after the game. Probably 120 Swindon in there and there was a deadly hush with everyone watching them.
