What with all the Bury shennanigans, only one team will get relegated from L2 this season.

Gives us a chance at least.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves now.

'Swindle' is still very common here in Bristol.

Funnily enough just this week someone sent me an IM at work and referred to Town as 'Swindle'. I asked him if he knew why Town were known as 'Swindle'... He did not know.

With that level of historical knowledge, he probably doesn't know why they're called the Slave Traders either.

I think it's the right call and fully appreciate that Swindon may one day be in this situation.

The governance of the game needs a significant review but letting them back in 2020-21 would almost certainly result in this becoming a potential common practice.

"We can't afford this season, fuck it. Let's take a year out, raise funds and come back stronger."

Bury's demise is no shock. I just hope that if Swindon were in a situation that they were winning on the pitch but had a Dale like owner (and Power isn't that) then I'd be fighting the good fight (like many Blackpool fans were forced to do).

We've been through a near identical scenario.  Black over funded Di Canio, pulled the plug, sold to someone without any funding, we mortgaged everything for cash flow, the new owner tried to wriggle some cash out of the business and we went to the wall - OK, we didn't do the last bit because some evil Eastender living in Switzerland ruined us, or prevented collapse, one of those.

You would not expect anything more from a club founded in 1982

Wycombe's Supporters Trust have just voted through the takeover by a US lawyer who thinks they're a "soccer franchise" that can be everyone's second team globally after "Liverpool, Chelsea and the Man teams". That's his business plan.

Presumably the same peeps that wanted to buy our "soccer franchise" a couple of weeks ago. 
Bonkers - they will regret that big time. (IMO for what it's worth etc)

It's sad but not unsurprising - one if the reasons Sol Campbell left.  The EFL have to step up and do something to stop this happening so often.

On a more positive personal note I'm seeing the Macc lads next month at Bristol O2.  30 years ago they were banned from every venue in the country - but now we are more politically correct they can play anywhere.  Perhaps it's because they are old fat bastards like their audience 😀,
