When you all finally return from your travels up North...

Congratulations to all who went and sang their guts out.

We were the 12th man today (which even things up with the referee playing for them).

Let's keep it up home and away.

We were good today, if we can keep that energy up all season the lads will enjoy playing for us.

So there's my answer to who drives the quickest then!

Hartlepool to Swindon (?) in 3 hours!  :shock:

I think he still lives in MK.

:nod:

Well... just outside MK.

Left at 07:40 this morning - you know to allow for traffic and all - got there at 11:00!

Fuck knows what people in Hartlepool do - there's fuck all there.

Got back to Hungerford at 9pm so 4 hours from Hartlepool!!

Support was fantastic today - there just seems to be a harmony running right through the club and the fans finally seem completely behind the manager which hasn't happened for a while!  :)

And Petr Brezovan - legend!!  :beers:

well worth the long journey

It was a great day, apart from being sneezed on, pushed over and chatted up by tails  :D

Not sure which one you were Birdy, but by god there's some fit women support Swindon when we're away  :D

I second that NR!  :D

I was the one with "BIRDY" written on the back of my town top  :mrgreen:

Missed that one - I was watching up the blondes/fake blondes to the right of the goal at the front  :D

Mighty fine, but with some really ugly blokes (apologies if you're on here lads!)

luckily I am a brunette  :D

i can honestly say that's the best atmosphere i've ever encountered at a town game. i think we need to keep it up for the next 50+ games (i'm taking into account a cup run of sorts)

Saw you today Birdy in the Corner Flag  :D

Where were you sitting NR?

Why didn't you say hello then spoonhead  :D

Because I think you were heading to the ladies for a tinkle  :wink:

I blame the cheap beer  :| next time say hellooooo!!

Right of the goal, in front of three lads in Town shirts who sang Bennett is our King at one point.  :nuts:

Why? Are you fishing as to whether I thought you were one of the mighty fine?  :wink:

what the fuck?

stalker-tastic.



that was fucking awesome. thanks to tails and his dad for the trip up there and back. so glad i didnt miss it. some areas still need a bit of work, but hopefully with the signings coming in fairly shortly ;) that'll all be sorted out, or at least on the way to being sorted.

Tuesday cant come soon enough! i'm buzzing :D

p.s, the caravan on the way up there on the M1 (if you saw it you know what i mean!!!) was interesting, as was the vauxhall arsetra estate in the field on the way back. hope everyone got out ok in that one, looked nasty as fuck.

 :cry:

We seem to have an excellent fan base when it comes to away games. To take nearly 400 people on a LONG trip like that is fantastic. Cannot wait until the Barnetgame and we can give Wisey, Gus and Mr Brezovan a fantastic reception!

still can't believe there was only 340 of us

It did sound like a thousand...  :clap:

nono no northern red. explain the song....

"We are Swindon, We are Swindon, Wisey is our King"

Except the blokes behind sang Bennett is our king instead  :nuts:

I assumed it was you with mates or something....

nope. i was away to the left....

did one of them look like jesus?

There was someone near them looking a lot like Jesus....

awesome, jesus condones me and my actions

i take this as a sign

Yeah, that was quite good. If it was only 340 we definately made it feel a lot more than that. Felt like double.


Stewards up there were fair as well, makes all the difference.

its nice to be able to stand all game and not have pat butcher telling us to sit down or they'll close the townend and they'll throw us all in jail for being naughty and making baby jesus cry.

Only 340...

 :shock:

no way....ah well...good away end...small, allowed to stand decent roof...good accoustics....plus we were fucking loud  :D

Well done everyone who went :clap: Our superb supporters got what we deserved for once :dance:

Fucking nutters :wink:

I'd like to congratulate everyone who listened to the game on the radio.

 I thought that the way that we sat in our comfy chairs sipping on a cold beer put supporters of other clubs to shame.A special mention to the bit when we nodded off only to be awoken by Ed Hadwin shouting "Brezovan saves it again!" causing us to spill beer down our trousers.
Who could forget sonic youth going to the toilet halfway through the second half and returning in what can only be described as an advanced state of confusion.

Well done everyone!

i didnt see anyone off here :(

but then i dont know what the fuck any of you look like do i..

just got back what a weekend that was we stayed in redcar which is full of boro fans and the didnt mind me and my mate singing swindon songs like fuck in the pig and whistle.even managed to get 2 boro fans to come and watch.
the pub up there done a lock in just for us aswell 8)
im fucked now though and cant wait til tuesday and we DID take more fans than 340 they reckon the attendance was 4600 which is bollocks they nearly sold out

I saw you speaking to Wiltshires finest :D

:Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick: the bastards that embarrassed me tbh fair play to him though he just said enjoy the season etc..i dont think he liked it when i said his mate looked like reg from the bill :D

Macca, so you got 2 Boro fans to come and watch the Town game? I love it when you get other fans to come along and you get that, a top game.

What did you think of our support compared to 4 years ago? It was a good showing today, but I think it has tailed off since back then. Il always remmember the 3000 we took to Stoke 2001, amazing turnout, had it come to it I dont think we would have done that last season.

Probably not....but I also expect ticket prices have gone up alot in the last 4 years!!!

Still not convinced it was only 340 though!!

they loved it.they thought it was a great atmosphere and were genuinly shocked by the numbers,it was more than 340 thats for sure..the atmosphere for me was quality but like you say compared to 3000 at stoke last game of the season when u are relegated its not the same,,but then i suppose thats the league we are in if we were in a higher league with wise and poyet then we would probably have taken more..all in all a great weekend and my best day out in about  10 years

:D weren't they sat drinking beer and pretending not to smoke for most of the game.I was stood with them doing the same I think.

one of them was yeah he is funny as fuck tbh..some fucker on here will have to say hello to me at the next game if they see me .wheres the best place to sit now for the atmosphere etc

I was going to but the the OB beat me to it so i didnt :mrgreen:

:Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick: i shit myself when he walked over.first thing i said was "im allowed in here" :D
