On the City forum a few reckon they have waived there share, but even if they did it wouldn’t be made public by either club as it’s against FA rules so any deal agreed would have to be denied by all parties.
In which case that source wouldn’t know about it…

Still beaming from last night. Dead proud of the club after the shitshow last season and the summer.
It’s probably something that would wear very thin if it happened regularly, but from the moment the lineup was announced I couldn’t shift that odd feeling of giddy awe over the quality of what that team holds, playing against a hastily cobbled league two team. Fuck the over analysing and criticism of the mistakes, it happens for teams at much higher levels than ours. They happen and aren’t ideal, but we still gave a great account of ourselves overall.
We got our goal and that great period where we ruffled them a bit. If you could bottle that atmosphere…
As been mentioned. Lyden being fit is like having a new quality signing. Keep him fit and I fancy our chances the 2nd half of the season.
Glad Ward had some great moments for the scrapbook too. Made to look a bit silly first half but those who know what they’re looking at should realise the blame lies elsewhere.
Also thought iandolo’s deliveries into the box were superb. If Critchlowe had managed to get a better head on that free kick, I probably would have burst.

So why did we have two defenders for the short goal kick
PS don't expect an answer
The routine clearly that was practiced all week.

The routine clearly that was practiced all week. which is what i thought, but garner says not in his interview He said: “We work on things in training, and that wasn’t something we’d worked on.
“Sometimes in the limelight, you make random decisions – unfortunately, that’s what we did. That isn’t something we worked on or prepared for.
“That was frustrating, but I understand it’s a huge game for the players and sometimes you can make decisions that aren’t the right ones in the moment.

For the second City goal it looked like the rest of the lads had pushed up (a little at least) with Dion in the box demanding the ball. Fair play for trying to play out against City I guess and it has been great reading the positive comments on their forum.

He did refer to it. They had two scenarios and the second clearly wasn’t executed how it should have been.

Mint occasion all round, was buzzing for days before the game and last night a great reward for Clem for saving the club and the lads who have battled hard all season and have put us in a serious promotion hunt against all expectations. Been said on here already I think but just how good was Rodri!!

Anyone manage to get a recording of the Sky Sports News prematch coverage? Clem was on a couple of times I saw while in the pub, but no audio.

This is a good honest City Blog, with fair praise for the Swindon players and fans. And some action filmed from the away end. Great view of Town End after the goal ! Worth a watch if you have a spare 20 mins
I think that summed up our atmosphere very well. To me it was so positive that we can achieve something special with the right direction. Can only hope a few more come back. Speaking to my Citeh mate today appears we’ve made a great impression with them.

Class video that, still gutted that had Fjortoft's 'goal' at Maine Rd not been disgracefully disallowed (and put us 2-0 up) we would have been level on points with them and in a strong position to survive the Prem. I think David Rocastle (RIP) provided some magic to beat us after that.

The video captured the atmosphere much better than the live ITV broadcast, thanks. Did I hear him say 8 pounds for a burger?? He did say it was a good one, but 8 pounds!!!
