I have a feeling it was 3-0 or 5-0 to Town and I also remember a handful of gobby Pox fans turned up to lend their support for our opponents.

Would only be a few, as I have noted previously our neighbours seem to have a very limited incursion into West Oxon!

I would think it could be AFC Fylde going by where we are staying/training, but there are so many teams around there it could just be a useful base.

Completely boring aside, but I discovered last week that the rather vociferous AFC Fylde owner has his second home in our village (sort of) and is steadily pissing the locals off (its at the other end of the village so we are unaffected).

David Haythornthwaite? Isnt he the one with the money that funded their rise through the leagues?

I wonder how Town are getting on in this afternoons friendly against an unnamed non league side.

Nothing on Twitter again, probably another media blackout by the club.

I thought it was this afternoon TBH, not sure though. The United game took place in the afternoon.

be fair, it would be nice to get some pre season coverage.

if it's really about keeping trialists out the public eye,  fair enough.

I don't think we even know who they are playing today do we?

No, just since the club refuse to communicate with the fans.

That's a bit harsh mate. Comms has been exceptional for the last couple of years and we've got no clue as to the staffing and context of the comms team right now.

It is a bit. Although Wellens did say on the last Talk of the Town that they were taking the media guy to the NW with them as he wanted to get some content from the tour.

Probably, just biting at Redbucks dig as he often likes to have a dig at me.

I find it disappointing that the club don't acknowledge that fans like to at least know about pre season games (opposition/score etc), and not just as an after thought long after its taken place.

I am not saying its the right of fans to know about fixtures etc, but they underestimate that so many fans are really looking forward to this coming season and that any information is better than none at all.

Its just fan frustration really, I may be one of the few actually interested in friendlies on here, I am just desperate for some actual Swindon Town football action again.

I think they went up to the NW not entirely sure who they would be playing beyond Man Utd U23.

Also there's been 10-15 min interviews with the manager after every friendly so far bar Tuesday, and at frequent points elsewhere. I'm sure we can survive a week without knowing friendly results immediately.
