Title: Positive outcomes of the impending demise of STFC
Post by: Colin Todd on Thursday, December 6, 2007, 15:23:48
Clutching at straws I know, but I'm a positive type of person

1. I wont have to read or hear anything written or said by Bob Holt ever again.
2. At least the people responsble for the demise of the club will be hurt in the pocket
3. Altertantivly, We'll all be richer
4. I can go shopping every saturday. GREAT!!!
5. erm.....
6. Saturday lie ins not disurbed by getting up and going to the pub pre game. is that good or bad?

Who am I fooling, Its fucking shit, gay and aids ridden. Why did i decide to Support STFC? Theres so many better choices I could have made

Id actually quite like the whole 'starting a new club from scratch' idea IF the current situation is buggered.

No conspiracies, no cheating, no CVA's, no lying boardroom bastards, a club with a community feel.  As long as it is NEVER done in the same way as Franchise.

On a point of order (point 2 actually) one of the main culprits stands to lose the sum of £1.

Honestly i think its a shit idea.  If I was bothered about non-league football I'd be watching it already

I just couldnt bring myself to watch a bunch of players "representing STFC" who were little more than fit sunday league players.  How fucking depressing would that be?  Jesus christ we've hade some shit players in the past 10 years and they were fucking pros!

I dont care of the standard, the bottom line is its my local team.  No matter how good/bad.

I couldnt bring myself to support anyone else.

I could probably bring myself to go and watch supermarine now and again. The draw of pitch-side drinking is a big one.

In that case I'd watch Devizes Town. For me it’s all about the ground, the away fans, the concourses, getting lashed, proper “invasion” away trips – all the things that go with watching professional football.

At least I wont have to wear my superstitious spiderman y-fronts every home game.

Ben I agree re the pitch side drinking  8)

The away trips are the best. You just don't get that the same with non-league football  :(

I can't imagine saturdays without it. Whenever there is an international game I feel lost. Might have to play golf, or just watch jeff stelling in the pub and gamble on other games to make it interesting.

WTF are we going to do?

Not give up and start afresh.  Only option.

With the right people running the show we could get a decent fanbase.

I really don't think I can face non league football. I'll probably go to Bath City but only once in a while and more because it's so close to my house.

All is not lost - over here in the far far south west we have a league of two - Woolpack Wanderers & Garrison Gunners - I'm sure a bit of variety would be welcome + it's agreat place for a piss up.

I must add after 37 years as a supporter the one common thread has been total shite running the club  :(  

As I cannot get to games I won't have to watch the thread on the matchday page - STFC RIP

Seeing as i don't drive i haven't got much choice with regards to going and watching somebody else plus it wouldn't be the same as watching a Club where you don't know anybody.

No disrespect to Supermarine etc but it just isn't for me.

I agree 100%. Get rid of all the lying cheating dispicable scum and dead wood, wipe the slate clean, bite the bullet and start afresh with a properly run club. A football club is far, far more than what division you happen to be in and having big away grounds to visit. It's a part of you and there's no way I could start following another team. I will continue to support the Club in whatever shape or form it might take in the future. And it WILL carry on in some shape or form. It will NOT die - FACT!

Who knows? Supporting Town could actually become enjoyable again.

Will we have open trials like at AFC Wimbledon? I'd like to have a go at getting in the team. But only if it doesn't put a stop to having a few beers on a Saturday.

I can't remember what I was watching but those two were on the TV recently, they showed a game between them and explained the story.

can't see starting a new club working. there aren't any fans, to ym knowledge (which is mostly based on here admittedly) with the vision and the skills to make it work. plenty of people with the passion and prepared to put hard work in, but you need a lot more than that

Us out of towners will not give a fuck about AFC Swindon, Supermarine or any other. We fell in love with Swindon Town FC. Personally I don't care about football in Swindon, I care about STFC. Any hybrid will have fuck all support especially from the non Swindonians.
