New beginnings - 25% Truth, 80% Bollocks

Gets you thinking, and this may have been said days weeks even months ago now.
Did Clem solely buy the club or has he got Austin, Stamding or A N Other shadow behind the scenes using his (their) money.
Glad we still have a club, gald we have a great fan base that turn up week in week out. Sceptical that something isn't quite as it seems? Too right I am.
Very little ambition being shown, can we expect to be also rans in the basement division or are we waiting to do business as the window is closing to grab a bargain?
Open and transparent, more like slightly ajar and very clouded.
Still, I ordered 3 shirts for the kids last week not had confirmation of dispatch as yet but they're all available and in stock

The issue is more when people don't actually want to enter in to the argument though. A lot of those known as happy clappers simply want to shut it down because they won't want to even hear it.

No, it's simply because it's the same moaning topic time and time again, ad nauseum. Never said I don't agree with some points, just a little tedious seeing it repeated in various threads.

This is literally a thread about the new board though. You wouldn't expect to come here and see us debating formations.

Imagine if you ordered an England kit from JD Sports which they said was in stock and then there was a delay because it wasn't in stock and a lack of communication or refund or anything and someone turned around and said "Yeah but they were in financial difficulties this time last year, so mustn't grumble."

Bringing it back to the loyalty points issue....

All ST holders start on the same points
not everyone ever wants to go to friendly's that is why the club only open 1 stand

Easiest thing to do is put the Harrogate tickets on sale to ST holders, one per ST holder.
If you get one then your one of the lucky few if not then better luck next time.

Later in the season the club can use loyalty points if there are a low number of tickets for away games, so those that do attend a high number of away games gets the opportunity.

They can wipe last seasons points at the half way point of this season or something. Its a fairly easy fix.

A common sense approach, and what those spending hundreds on ST signed up for.

Looking it up, Harrogate's away end looks like it holds about 700. For a near 10 hour round trip from Swindon, am I wrong to think we might not sell that out? I know we had some huge away followings towards the back end of last season, but that's not an easy day out.

Edit: looked up the fixture in April, we took 600 (think that was the full allocation).

Whilst I think some of the points raised are very valid and need answering which I think Jan said the Trust have asked and should hopefully send through the notes/answers soon.  I feel a degree more comfortable than most, I worked with Rob Angus for over 9 years and he is a thoroughly decent leader and guy who has loved and supported Swindon for over 30 years as do all his family so whilst he is Chief Exec I feel confident we are in safe hands despite the other more questionable people in the background.  If Rob ever left then alarm bells would be ringing as that would mean something is definitely wrong.

Would say you’d make a fucking good lovely bloke, but you already are.

Keep fucking crying and running to protect when something anti club is said 4D.

Yeah the Rob Angus thing is one thing that probably stops my head exploding to be honest. Still some stuff that stinks though.

Not sure what the fuss is about Harrogate tickets.
We aren’t going to sell out our full allocation anyway.

People are not going to be queuing up to travel 5 hours to watch our team of kids with an inexperienced cheap options manager get hammered, are they?

Nice one admin 😂
