Title: What kind of welcome will.....
Post by: janaage on Monday, January 14, 2008, 10:42:15
..Colin Calderwood get on Saturday then?

Be a bit of a strange day if Fitton and co do their bit, then Eminem gets a welcome too.

I'd like to see CC get a decent reception though, the word is over used nowadays but he is without doubt a Swindon Town legend of the highest order.

Little known fact about CC, looking back on his career he regretted signing for Spurs, he always felt he should have signed for Hoddle's Chelsea, which I was surprised at when I was told.

CC is an STFC legend and I am sure he will get a heroes welcome coming back, and yes it is a shame that Eminem shares the day as I fear CC will get a better welcome than Eminem, which would be harsh IMHO.

Top bloke and I wish one day he will return to Swindon and manage us, I was at school with Karen his missus at Hreod Burna, she was a class tennis player with very good legs!

He'll get a good reception, and he deserves it.

He will get a standing ovation from me - Calderwood that is.

You get chavs in every stand.

Easier to just ignore them.

I'd love to here a chorus of "Oh Colin, Colin....." but not sure if that'd be appropriate!

I should think that would be highly appropriate.

I get annoyed at the way Swindon supporters get on the backs of ex-players who did nothing wrong while at the club, but to abuse a man who did as much right as Colin Calderwood would be disgraceful. Besides, one day - by hook or by crook - he's going to be our manager. It is written.

He wont get abuse, he'll hardly be noticed by most of the crowd.

He knows we have great respect for him. I remmember a game against Northampton about 2001 he was playing and everytime he came over to the south stand warming up before the game the fans (about 300) were clapping and singing his name.

Most of the kids wont even know he ever played for us.

I'd agree with that.

CC should get a polite welcome but we need to make some noise for Maurice.

He did kind of...when he was warming up, he got a round of applause from the TE/Arkells.

It seems we are the only club that actually like Calderwood. Even most Forest fans seem to hate him. He'll get a decent reception hopefully.

he should get a good ovation....although not sure when....he wont come out on the pitch at the start of the game.

Speaking of ex-players....why did people boo Lee Holmes on Saturday  :?

Yeah but he was only a loan player. There are ex players and ex players.

15 games vs putting in 8 years as club captain (during the clubs most successful period). There are some people who need to get over Lee Holmes. He was never our player and he was never that good.

Im all for giving ex players a good reception when they deserve it. But if people want to try and put off a former loan player then so be it.

Colin's been back a couple of times and always seems to get a good reception as he should.  Can't say an ex loan player deserves anything special to be honest apart maybe from Laurie Sanchez who was useless but still deserves a clap if I see him again for his crazy warm up routine against Man Utd where he kept running between them when they were trying lots of 1-2's
