Swindon v Cambridge pre match chat and matchday thread

[Peter Venkman]

I assumed the club were saving money by closing parts of the stand but perhaps there's issues with the seats/structure/facilities.

Yes the saving on stewarding costs etc too I guess.

Alright you cunts, been years since I've posted on here! Heading along today with the family, negotiating all the floods on Salisbury plain currently. Be interested to see the team as I haven't been able to make it along this season yet, but been pissing my colleagues off with the commentary every Saturday instead.

Hope everyone had a merry Christmas and I can tell from poking about the forum that not much has changed around here

Judging by online tickets sales, it should be a 9k crowd, which on the one hand is excellent, but will mean that some of the "get it forward" brigade are back in attendance. Cambridge will no doubt set out to hold what they have so an early goal will be useful to bring them out more and then we could go on to score 3 or 4.  Struggle to break them down and/or concede first and it could be a struggle particularly for the less regular fans to keep the positivity going. Therefore hoping for a 3-0, dreading a 1-1.

Yeah you make some very valid points.

Today they will set out to be very hard to beat and try and hit us on the counter, something many teams do and very few actually achieve that.

I hope the fans keep patient even if we havent scored by the 75th minute or later, I think the wind and rain could have a major factor in todays result, being the leveller between the teams.

3-2 win on the back of the fact that yesterday the count of paper hats in our family was 3 red and 2 amber

Science!

Science!

Sounds more like astrology to me!

2-0 both first half one each for Pele and Yates.

Could have used tea leaves, coffee grinds or the colour of wine drunk at the table.

[Ginginho]

I'm going today.

My last three games were 4-0, 3-1 and 3-0 victories.

I'm not taking all the credit though.

Zakuani and Iandolo come in for Hunt and Fryers.

That'll be the rotation Wellens was talking about.

That'll be the rotation Wellens was talking about.

Both not fully fit according to Power, Fryers has the slightly worse of the injuries but neither are too bad.
