Not even a laughable transfer rumour. It's been a very dull STFC pre-season, regardless of how optimistic or pessimistic a fan you are.

Tansmedia did get the Pox thinking they were signing Obika though, which was a highlight.

Quite possibly one of the most uninspiring pre seasons in all the time ive been following town.
No interviews, previews or anything!
Bollocks! We've had: EFL cup is the dogs nuts and I can't wait says Manager. Need more faces says Manager. Need new blood says Captain. Then... We won't be rushed into signings says Manager. |

and now we're had the "i'll give it my all".
which basically says he's fighting an uphill battle.
survival is the aim this season. no chance of a top half finish

There's no excuse. If you can't get the existing fans excited for a new season, what hope have you got of attracting new fans? Is it wrong to be bored before a ball has been kicked?! |

Probably the only one that's quite looking forward to tomorrow then, even got my tickets for Gills away. Didn't see us win a single game last season. Bring it on!  |

I'm looking forward to tomorrow too. Don't think a Town defeat is a foregone conclusion; Coventry have their own problems at the moment...

I don't think Oxford are a bad shout. There's always at least one team that finishes top 6 after promotion from League Two. They've brought some decent players in whilst getting rid of some that wouldn't cut it in this division. I think they'll be top 6.

The boom and bust of spending money you haven't got. Hopefully their little gamble will fail and they'll be back where they belong in a year or two.

If you look at first game of the seasons this century with Swindon then you will see the we have won 5 of the last 7 opening day fixtures when we have been at home, winning the last 4 in a row. Home Away 2015 W 4-1 Bradford 2014 W 3-1 Scunthorpe 2013 L 0-1 Peterborough 2012 D 0-0 Hartlepool 2011 W 3-0 Crewe 2010 L 1-2 Brighton 2009 L 0-5 Gillingham 2008 W 3-1 Tranmere 2007 D 1-1 Northampton 2006 W 1-0 Hartlepool 2005 L 0-2 Barnsley 2004 L 1-2 Wrexham 2003 L 2-3 Sheff Weds 2002 W 3-1 Barnsley 2001 D 0-0 Peterborough 2000 D 0-0 Colchester You never know, it all comes down to how good we play on the day. |
