Joking aside, I think this is brilliant, hats off to the trust.
If 10% get hooked, that's 300 future fans we might not have had.
And once hooked................
(just hope we play well and win, 'cos that could be the difference between 100 and 500 on the hook)

"You're gonna get your fucking heads kicked in"
"You can stick your fucking mackeral up your arse"
"Shit fucking Blackpool, your just a shit fucking Blackpool"
Any more ideas for the kiddy song sheets ?
Incidentally, are you lot aware that Swindon Town is the only football league club that doesn't share a letter with the word "Mackeral" ?? |

Pretty much as everyone else has said, this is fantastic work by the Trust, one hell of a lot of work to pull this off, but if you're going to do something like this, do it well and it looks like they have. Superb work!

Always thought that a 'free' Stratton Bank might push things along in the right direction.

Just to say that an avid Forest supporter at work died a bit inside when his 6 year old said he wanted a Swindon shirt because all his mates have one. It's on my youngest list to Santa too. Whether they grow out of it when older who knows*, but Swindon town are reaching the youngsters and this initiative can only help. I just pray it warns up and is dry for therm on the Straton bank. As recently discussed, the facilities aren't best as it is. No choice to house them there given the unexpected demand though. *my lad won't  |

That's the single best thing I've read this week I think |

Dry and a mild 10 degrees forecast at the moment. This will all come down to how well equipped we make the Bank for the day. A tough ask with limited resources, but hopefully seen as a worthwhile investment. Get Rockin Robin in there. He may actually be useful for a change.
Hats off to the Trust. It's fantastic to see us get to a point where it's efforts can afford to be at investing for the future.

I took my son's mate, who supports West Ham, to Peterborough last Saturday. He goes to West Ham regularly but loved seeing the players up close and said the atmosphere was much better amongst the Swindon fans. He went home and declared himself a Swindon fan! His dad isn't happy but it does show that it works.

It's all looking more promising, the Trust are doing really well this season. Think crowds really will start to step up after Christmas time, especially if we're still up there

This really is a great effort by all involved. Incidently is there going to be trust members outside again? I really want to join but seem to keep missing them. Im in the DRS by the way.

Really excited for Saturday now. Can't wait for a goal to go in for the Stratton Bank to be celebrating too. Man, that would suck to be in the away section.  |

We will be doing a membership drive once again on Saturday prior to the game.
We should be on the corner of the Arkells/TE, and DRS by the club shop.
Please join up if you haven't...
