Was saturday, twas fantastic having silence , however the crowning moment came when the genius that is the rockin robin did the rockin robin haka to NO music. comedy genius in a reeves and mortimer surreal style. i was imagining robin singing to himself inside that suit.

everyone around watched open mouthed as if in shock. i laughed until about half way through the first half. fucking genius should be repeated.

to be able to have a conversation without struggling to hear people speak over that tinny racket was nice.
i know alot of people dont like rockin robin.but i think he does a good job.when i first started taking my daughter to matches she loved watching his antics.infact she was more interested in rockin robin than the football

He's a legend just for sprinting the whole length of the pitch to tackle the Bristol City mascot on the line at Ashton Gate. That got a bigger cheer than anything that happened in the game!

I like having silence before the game, it's much better.

It is not so much the music but the Twat with the microphone who loves the sound of his own voice.
"Good afternoon the Town End" reply "Fuck of the Twat with the microophone"

I liked it when he went arse over tit and then did his exaggerated 'D'oh' mime.

What he said. "Make some noise for the Swindon Boys!" Gay! :fag:

I had to cover United at Reading on Saturday, and it was nice to hear some new music on the sound system. I get sick and tired of the same old crap played before and during the game at the CG. what d'you think? Ready to go, grandstand - FFS...

Why do they always play fucking Republica ?

Fuck knows, they have no taste!

I think we should have strippers at half time in the concourses. Would be ace.
Better than looking at that fat bitch steward dribbling down her top.

I think some sort of Roman half time entertainment would be better.

Watch Aaron Brown being chased by lions or something.

Or pin the tail on Jamie Slabber.

Leave Slabber alone. It's not his fault he's crap!

I do like the Aaron Brown and lions suggestion though!

agreed. I bet he'd fucking run then! lazy useless twat.

nah, he's far too good to be chased by lions

I don't mind a bit of pre match or half time music but it does annoy that it is always the same tunes..what happened to the deal once upon a time with HMV to provide the music

Gary I think does a good job on the mike but he does need to expand his vocabulary a little bit

Spot on. I remember in my early days frequenting the CG it was exactly the same. One that really stood out was Urban Cookie Collective - The key, The Secret. They played it every fucking home game for about 5 years!!! :evil:

Urban Cookie Collective and Republica are forever engrained on my psyche thanks to STFC!  How many times over how many years I heard either/both of those songs at the CG!!

And I thought Amy Winehouse had problems!  Shit, I need help!

Talking of Winehouse, I think McLovin should record his Jerel Ifil song that he sings to rehab and they could play that on the tannoy!  Its ace!

We should run out to 'Can't Help Falling In Love' and that should be the only song before the game.......................

It's our signature tune, yet it's never fucking played!!

hello, i posted something stupid which i then edited.

you lucky fucker i was ready to jump down your throat

just in time then! :D

Please dont ever get the Kings song wrong again :D

embarassingly i like elvis as well. maybe i should get my hair dyed blonde.

I love him and he is not dead which always makes me sleep better knowing that

We came out of the County and thought the game had started at 2.58 cos we could hear the Town End singing.

I agree that Republica is an absolute disgrace to football and the whole town of Swindon. So shit.

That was cause the Robinettes used to do there routine to it!! not that me and my sister use to make our own poms poms at home and pretend to be them or anything.......... :oops:

They play the ub40 version.. Or they used to anyway!

They used to up until last season.

The UB40 version is the definitive. Like Soft Cell's version of Tainted love or Robson & Jerome's version of Unchained Melody.

You've obviously never heard Andy Williams version Ben.

Class.

Fucking UB40...shite.  I'd rather hear the Stray Cats version.
