So we have appointed a new chief scout, Ben Chorley. Who was the previous incumbent of that lofty position?

The last one I know of was Sam Jewell who is now U21 recruitment manager at Brighton.

It's a grand old team to play for, It's a grand old team to see, And if you know your history, It's enough to make your heart go whoa-oh, We don't care what the other teams say, What the hell do we care, For we only know that there's gonna be a show, And the Swindon Town will be there....

Odd timing. I mean I get that it's an ongoing position, just thought if we needed a chief scout we'd have appointed one more than 4 weeks before season start. still, anything that makes us better is a good thing. can he register as a player too please

I'd say this was good news... at least a sign that Power is trying to run us as an FL club rather than than trying to get away with a non league structure. Of course he may be clueless, but at least it's something.

Given his brush with the law, club prob thought a bit like signing LMc bury the news in an England game.

I did a bare grill once, and set my pubes on fire. Not recommended.
