Hi all,  I've added a piece to my blog about Swindon Town which can be read at www.mcnamara-sport.tumblr.com

Not a plug...just letting you know it's there for anyone interested.

Good luck for the rest of the season.

Of course it's a plug.

Good luck with it.

Good write up that, makes a change that someone from the outside has a few good words to say about us.

Yeah, it's good to know that we need not feel the fearsome hand of past skeletons on our shoulders. Instead, we can wake from the cold sweat of a brief nightmare, and emerge fresh into a genuinely encouraging, and possibly sparkling, future.

Good read and if I wasn't a Swindon Town supporter and lived through it all, I probably wouldn't believe so much could go on at a Football Club.  Minor point though, we lost to Millwall in 2010 not 2009  Smiley

I enjoyed reading through that and getting an 'outsider's' take on things! You missed the bit about the 1957 debt though  Cheesy

Sorry about the typo on the date of the Millwall game - now corrected.

I've had a soft spot for Swindon ever since being taken to a game against Stoke when I was in the area a very long time ago - think it was late '89.  You won 6-0 and as a young lad I was equally taken by the football and the baiting of Mick Mills and Dave Bamber.

He's short, he's fat, he's going to get the sack
Micky Mills, Micky Mills!


He duly did get the sack

Stoke fans treated us to a magnificent conga on the Stratton Bank too!

Brilliant game, probably in my top 30, in fact I'm doing my will soon and I'll make sure i add my top swindon games to be read out, and the CC goal and the stoke conga will get a mention before i burn.

Ace. I was in the shrivvy that day, the result  nearly made up for the fact I was  there and back from Newbury on the back of my old mans motorbike with a hangover. Never been on a bike since.

I could do with this sort of sharp editing eye over all my work...thankyou!!

The Mick Mills chant was a delight to my 11 year old ears, I was going round singing that for weeks after.  I'd forgotten about the Stoke conga.  A great day all in...and Alan McLoughlin became a bit of an idol.

I hope you get back to winning ways again against Oldham.
