“They had reached the stage where they needed to pay their last one, but just didn’t have the funds to do it. The club was founded in the 1880s and I just didn’t want to see it go into liquidation – I have a home there. I like sport and I just couldn’t see it happen.” “I am a fan of the club and I listen to the games on the radio wherever I am – even in Barbados, where I spend much of the winter!” “I think about what it will do for my children and grandchildren, especially as Swindon are doing so well – they are mid-table in League One at the moment and promotion to the Championship does not seem realistic.” Title: Martin Arbyb's a Town fan Post by: axs on Monday, January 28, 2008, 10:23:52 Surely he means 'unrealistic' otherwise that last sentence makes no sense.

Although I prefer Orange's explanation - "the crowd are offering a brief but vociferous summary of the referee's early years, especially in relation to the circumstances of his birth"

Title: Martin Arbyb's a Town fan Post by: wheretherealredsare on Tuesday, January 29, 2008, 09:46:57 He didn't get where he is today by spending £25 on STFC World that doesn't transmit commentary overseas. Waste of money that would be. I expect every match day he flies back to the closest point within Brunel's reception area and borrows someones log-in, saving himself £25 in the process. THAT'S how the rich get richer!

Title: Martin Arbyb's a Town fan Post by: wheretherealredsare on Tuesday, January 29, 2008, 18:26:53 Where's Triseros? Seems Russia, Thailand and Triserosland are being marginalised. So much for kicking racism out of football!

Title: Martin Arbyb's a Town fan Post by: wheretherealredsare on Wednesday, January 30, 2008, 20:32:51 Spend all day reading about STFC. Except when I get bored then I count snowflakes, or beetroots in the summer.
Nothing really, I retired early and became a new age husband. Thought I'd found a Russian oil millionairess to save the club but turns out that Roza works for a large oil company and a million roubles is only £20K. |
