I'm one of the 'stay aways' I suppose, but unfortunately I cannot justify going to Swindon every week.

If they carry on with the 6-8 ticket option next season I'll be amongst the first to get one. I really hope they push those and the season tickets as well - with the stench of McCrory off the club and no high court madness, the uptake should be much better.

You were sayin'....

Seebeck 87 Ltd are to challenge the decision to grant ownership of Swindon Town to Swinton Reds 20 Ltd after appeal approved.

Oh FFS.  Why has this taken so long to surface again?  Just go away McCrory, get the message.  Noone wants you anywhere near our club.

[Tails]

appeal applications always take time. Annoying that it was approved. The judge ruled fairly heavily in Powers favour so this just seems like a massive waste of time.

[Power to people]

Probably a case of he has not got the money to pay so it is either appeal or go bankrupt

OH FUCKING BLOODY HELL

Appeals aren't free...

Third time I've travelled from London for a Tuesday night game and the third time I have had travel 'issues'. This time was my own fault as I got on the night bus at Vauxhall bus station going the wrong way!!

Such a retard! Got home at 1.20, pretty knackered at work today, the 3 points make it worth it though!

I travel from London and the train times have got later and the journey longer. There used to be a 2228 and 2234 arriving in London about 2345. Now it's 2339 arriving 0001 meaning I miss the last fast train to Hitchin adding almost an hour to get me home at 0130. If I didn't have a season ticket there's no way I'd be doing that!

Mind you that"s a fast train.
Swindon to Paddington in 22 mins.

If only! Can't type on phone sometimes. I remember a train scheduled for 53mins in the early 90's not stopping at Reading. 1hr 22m seems ridiculous when there's not so many out at that time of night.

Someone told me it gets slower towards the end of the day as the freight and the mail are out and running, that and most of the staff have gone at 10pm. Its 55 mins in the day usually.

The last railway travelling post office in the UK was on the 9th January 2004. Post doesn't go by rail anymore unfortunately. Hence the increase in the number of Royal Mail lorries on the motorways in the last ten years. Sad.

I liked it when you could hitch a lift on a late mail train, and slump in amongst the sacks....always good old boys on board.
