I can take a few jokes, a few laughs, but sonicyouth overstepped the mark. If you want to kill me son, you name the time and place and I’ll be there, but just to let you know you’ll be killing one huge Swindon fan (in more ways than one). Most of you don’t know me, but I’m always there. I am a season ticket holder and have been to 4 of the 7 away fixtures this year, the 3 I missed I have valid reasons for missing them. I made it to Donny, a game that most of you couldn’t attend. I may not be the most vocal, but I’m there, I love this team and I love this sport (that’s why I sit in the Arkells, I want to see the football, not just get intoxicated and rowdy).
The only reason I did what I did was because I was sat at home bored, and thought it would provide a laugh, and it did, I thought it was hilarious, it made a lot of people laugh. I even got to meet the mayor and Sandy Gray, go on the sacred turf, shake hands with players and despite what blinkpip believes, win a contest and a signed shirt (look in my hand, there is a shirt with a label on, I’m not so stupid that I leave labels on my clothes!).
So crack a few jokes, I can laugh at myself (obviously), but sonicyouth, don’t threaten your own fans. There are some people outside of the main groups of supporters who are just as loyal, if not more loyal than the main groups, and we all know we need as many loyal fans as we can get at the moment!
And everyone, look out for me at Brentford, on the terrace, back row, left hand side, ‘cowboy’ hat (aka fedora), introduce yourself
