Crewe is twinned with Bischofsheim in Germany. Not to be confused with Bischofshoven in Austria where STFC played friendlies in consecutive years in the noughties.
Swindon has a proper railway twin town in Chattanooga.
Town win 3-0 today.
Swindon is surely a more famous railway town than Crewe anyway? |

Coping without something like 8 potential first teamers, would be difficult for any side, so anything today has to be a bit of a bonus.

I really don't care. I embarrassed by Swindon's railway history anyway. Time to move on. |

Why on Earth would that embarrass you? |

Of all the things to be embarrassed off I'm not sure that's one? I'm expecting a win today, we have a good enough side even with the llayers unavailable |

Being used as a workshop to get people from Bristol to London. Only making a form of transport getting people from one place to another to do important things. A bit like a glorified taxi rank. Celebrate our current achievements like the service industries and music & art.

This deserves its own thread. This & next weekend see the Open Sudios event all over Swindon. I encourage you to visit. The Modern Art gallery in Theatre Square is something to behold. European HQs of Nationwide, Intel etc are impressive.
Your self depricated attitude is the problem. There is a self fulfilling prophecy in Swindon town centre. It was really lively in the noughties but people slaggeditoff & we got what we have now.
The attitude is the first thing to change. Starting with YOU!
Back to today's game...

So nothing worth seeing then. Oh, and a total and utter disregard for the town's progression by successive councils makes Swindon is what it is today. If you can't be self depricating and mocking about what is, lets be honest, a 1970's shithole town centre with a few sticky plasters on it and a crap raod infrastructure then you'll be a very grumpy person.
Lets hope the game is better.

Is Crewe's status as a railway town not more linked to its role as an important railway junction? It serves a similar purpose up that way as Reading does down here. A huge number of lines converge there. |

Is Dario Gradi still involved with Crewe in any way?
Btw it pisses me off when people say Crewe AlexandER.

Odd. I wonder if in a hundred years' time people will be celebrating the town's contribution to the service industries, campaigning for our nickname to be changed to "The Insurers" and for a claims form to be added to the club crest. |
