afc swindon

[Gazza's Fat Mate]

if the club we all love ended wolud you support afc swindon?

[reeves4england]

I'd rather it was called something else, and am not sure if I would be that interested to be honest....I'd have to give it a go and decide if it was worth it

[Gazza's Fat Mate]

i've missed die from the vquestion shit

[sonic youth]

no.

i'd save money and get cheap flights out to madrid for games here and there

[Iffy's Onion Bhaji]

Yes i would support a new club if it was created.

[yeo]

Deffinitly.

I think it would be fun.

[Barry Scott]

I would, but STFC will, in all likelihood, always exist on some level.

If we were liquidated, as i understand it, the club would still exist, all be it without league status and i suspect be at around Supermarine's level. That's what someone said anyway.

[dell boy]

I dont think I could watch a 'new' Swindon - been supporting the current/old one for so long. What I'm trying to say it just wouldn't be the same for me, I would just become an armchair premiership footie fan.

[Reg Smeeton]

The main problem would be the ground......the CG would be a no no because of rent.

    So it would probabaly have to be a groundshare with Supermarine.

[Batch]

Not sure I would, probably Ciren Town for me.

[STFC_Gazzza]

Not sure... I would probably lose interest. Non league football doesn't really appeal to me. I would imagine a few would go watch Supermarine as they are only 3 promotions off the FL

i was just thinking about that. it'd be weird watching a team that technically wasn't swindon in a totally different ground. it just wouldn't be right...

  I've given this a bit of thought over some time.....in fact it needn't be quite so bleak as first seems, insofar as we wouldn't be a professional club.  Back in the days of Justin Tomlinson :chunder: I quizzed him as to why the Cricket Club paid fuck all rent for a bigger site, whilst the FC paid sky high rent for a smaller site.  He informed it was because STFC was a business whereas the CC wasn't.

 In which case teh club could claim a similar situation as the CC and have its rent slashed....in fact as a club run by fans might be possible to get grants.

  Of course, this is fantasy, as SBC would immediately sense on opportunity to turf the FC out and sell the CG site, to make up the shortfall in rent.
