would the club move before they loose their identity and you stop supporting them. I'm just trying to guage opinion as there seems to be quite differing views between Swindon based fans and those who travel to home games.
For me personally a move out of the county would definatley spell the end for me. The club has always been a Wiltshire club, it's our home and the vast majority of support is obviously from within the county. I feel a move to Glous, Oxon or Berks would see us lose our identity. If the club stayed close to the Borough in east or north Wilts then IMO there is no problem. The club would still be sufficiently close enough to it's natural home. Any further than that or a move out of the county then it would cease to be Swindon Town FC, in my eyes.
I still hope it doesn't come to that and the club and SBC can resolve this mess.

In our case if the team moved away id continue to support to the team no matter what, because I feel we havent moved away by our own choice, rather been forced away by the SBC who for the record I hope all die...

They are as good as wishing death upon my football club, therefore I wish the same to them. I would miss STFC just as much as their families would miss them, probably more seen as they are concil workers  |

Must stay in the county and in the local vicinity. Any moves towards south/west Wiltshire would be the end for me too.
I hope no one dies.

So just south of Salisbury and you'd be ok with it?
Fuck that.

The thing is as we are pretty near the county boundary, a (albeit highly unfeasabel/illegal) move to Salibaury or South Wilts would be too far, but I could maybe accept being about 7 miles away from Town just over the border with Gloucs the other side of Cricklade (again no chance) as they say its swings and roundabouts.

Like Jan says, even south or west wilts is unacceptable whereas east or north is, IMO.

Fuck that. When times is tight, Jan. Don't get me wrong, i'd be thoroughly pissed off with a move out of the borough, but if it meant the survival of the club i love, i could put up with it. |

The thing is, for fans in Swindon a short trip over the Pox,Berks or Glous border isn't such a long way or big deal because it's just down the road.
