Another amusing moment from Saturday was watching our fans mimic the Franchise goal celebrations. For those who couldn't (or didn't want to) make it, this involves pointing both index fingers upwards and alternately raising each elbow. This celebration, sadly, is what happens when your football club didn't exist before 2004 and your town's sporting culture is rooted in ice hockey.
I love the way they talk about the rules soccer and how they think that because of Vigs actions the FA should start stopping the clock whent he ball goes out of play to stop any timewasting. Also the way they try and fathom out some refereeing decisions, but they are new to football and it takes time to take in all those beastly rules. |

Interesting stat from twitter.
Swindon Town are the only club in the top 4 divisions of English football to have had 100% of all league goals scored by English players.
Yes I am aware that on a technicality Doughty could be classed as Welsh as even though born in London played for Wales at U21 & U19.

MK fans unhappy with the ref even though he gave them a goal that was blatantly offside, many saying th penalty was way outside of the area...it wasn't.
Looked offside to me at first glance too, but having looked again the striker seems level with somebody in the LB position, who I assume is Koiki. Right about the penalty though, well inside the box and bizarre to claim otherwise. |

I had a great day, good drive up, a few hours spent at Bletchley Park and a Town victory. Happy Days.
A few points to note :
- I thought it was a solid team performance, however the amount of crosses put in the box required a striker with a decent heading ability - which we didn't have on the pitch.
- I wasn't even sure it was a foul for the pen
- This will be unpopular but I really liked the ground and the set up - for a modern soulless flat pack it was decent. Shame it is wasted on them.
- Despite having the decoding explained to me at BP I still don't understand how what they did was even possible.

I like it that people are starting to include other cultural pursuits into their away days... besides WB's research for his book... The Guide to the Wetherspoon's of GB. A good away day should be capable of both. Perhaps we could do some suggestions into the new earlier MDF's With that in mind a shame that we've lost Newport on Sat, as I was going to look up their new Chartists Trail.... not sure about the re-match |

When we went to Yeovil last year we took in Fleet Air Arm at RNAS Yeovilton. It just makes the day more of a day out than just football. |

Very impressive. Top 3 attractions that visiting fans should head for in Swindon, anyone? |
