I often regret starting to support STFC :| I wasn't given a choice! Although my parents started watching Swindon when they lived in Harwell in Oxfordshire, so I could quite easily be a Pox fan. In that respect I count myself lucky! Title: how long have you been watching town?

Title: how long have you been watching town? Post by: Scot Munroe on Wednesday, October 11, 2006, 13:31:53 I also was not given an chance. My dad is a swindon fan. He has been a fan since 1961 so 45 years. He tooked me once i was hooked.
Title: how long have you been watching town? Post by: Panda Paws on Wednesday, October 11, 2006, 13:32:16 I went to my first game when I was four ... so in about 1978/9ish ... some nice bloke helped me up onto the wall on the Town End so I could see.
Didn't go for a while after that ... but ... I've properly been watching them for about 15 years now. Title: how long have you been watching town?

I often regret starting to support STFC :| have to agree,i was spoiled in the early years of my following of stfc. fuck me do i wish for some more of that. In my first full season we lost 4 games and absolutely pissed all over Division 2, so I thought we were good. Little did I know the amount of shite I'd have to put up with after that.... Title: how long have you been watching town? Post by: Amir on Wednesday, October 11, 2006, 13:37:32 13 years and I've seen us play in all four divisions. It's just not right.
Title: how long have you been watching town? Post by: Scot Munroe on Wednesday, October 11, 2006, 13:42:51 I watched the last 2 games of the Prem season. So i have also seen swindon play in all 4 divisions.
Title: how long have you been watching town? Post by: Forza_Swindon on Wednesday, October 11, 2006, 13:44:26 13 years for me too....it has pretty much been a downward spiral really, with the odd hiccup upwards.
I often ask myself "Why me??" :? Title: how long have you been watching town? Post by: Tails on Wednesday, October 11, 2006, 13:45:38 I think most Swindon fans have seen us play in all 4 divisions tbh. I went a few times in the Premiership season, can't remember it at all though.
Title: how long have you been watching town? Post by: herthab on Wednesday, October 11, 2006, 13:48:09 18 years. Took my son to our last Premiership game when he was 3, just so he could say he's seen us in the top flight.
Title: how long have you been watching town? Post by: ron dodgers on Wednesday, October 11, 2006, 13:48:59 5 years - I only support teams when they are shite

Still, not quite a Wolves, or a City for that matter :smile1: Proof of how well the Wills family have done for the club really isn't it..Arsenal to Accrington in 12 years. I remember when we were top of the old first division aswell, after beating Portsmouth at Fratton Park on live TV, a day a certain goalkeeper would want to forget I'm sure. I've got a video from that season and it's got an interview with Rikki Hunt who says the club have a plan to be one of the best in the country... That went well didn't it :roll: Title: how long have you been watching town? Post by: Scot Munroe on Wednesday, October 11, 2006, 13:55:30 I watched the Pompy game down my local. when that keeper had that unfotunate incident we all winced and we felt for him.
Title: how long have you been watching town? Post by: Forza_Swindon on Wednesday, October 11, 2006, 14:05:03 I went on a date with that keeper, got drunk and took the piss....
We didn't go out again :( Title: how long have you been watching town? Post by: fatbury on Wednesday, October 11, 2006, 14:22:56 Since 1979 .. so that 27 years bloody years of joy, pain, promotion, relegation, marches, crap managers, good managers, crap boards and corrupt boards, brilliant players and crap players and of course all 7 divisions .. Premiership .. Div 1 .. Div 2 ..Div 3 .. Div 4 .. League 1 and League 2! What a ride! :\/

First game was '88. But only since 91/92 did I begin going to as many games as possible (passed driving test). Then I was away at uni from 92-95. I only knew that the process of becoming a town fan was complete when we played Man U at home in the prem and I wanted us to win. Title: how long have you been watching town?
