After what seems like an eternity, order will be restored this Saturday and I can begin to look forward to taking the journey to Swindon each week.

Is it just me, or has this close season seemed longer and more boring than usual?

Definitely.

Merlin this Saturday anybody?

Just you.

I thought it's come around quite quick.

Great that football is back, however I have actually found a lot of stuff to fill the time so haven't really given football as much thought as I usually do. i think after last season I was happy with the break this year. wasnt going to do gills but am tempted now i must say.....

I'll be there from 12.

Its felt like the longest close season ever for me.

It's definitely not just you.

I got mega confused then and thought the season was starting early. Saturdays aren't back for 2 weeks yet, and I'm missing the first one.

I don't usually 'do' pre-season but am quite tempted.

booooooo Ive liked having my Saturdays to myself!!!

Saturday's are back this week for me. First visit to Swindon since 2nd May.

Alas, I am working an 8 hour shift this saturday, so they really aren't back for me.

Anyone know which stands will be open?

And you're excited?! ;)

not long enough.it's flown by

Do you even like football anymore arriba?

Came around just at the right time :) Hopefully this Season will be something special..

I'd love to have the Saturdays to myself

especially Frankie! ;)

I actually have a weekend social life developing, as in going out and stuff although it is still at an embryonic stage.

I'll have to be aborting that bit if life soon, I have priorities.

Still a while to go...I'd settle for the season starting at the end of August.

i still like football.just not as much as i  used to

It happens, other things take over, and the importance drops, happened to me for 10 years, now the bug is back with a vengance, been to more games in the last 2 seasons than the previous 10 put together.

yeah i know it comes and goes.i only went tio the odd game during maccunts and quinns reigns after going to nearly every home and away game for a few years.then i started taking my lad and went to home and away games again.now i go to nearly every home game(barring end of last season when i got fed up with it again)but aint been away for a couple of years.
i just cannot  see myself going out there regularly this season,as i feel the same way about it as i did tail end of last year.

Once we win a few games you'll want to go again.  :D

I don't think i'll start getting into it again until we actually play the proper stuff. None of this pre-season bollocks. Get the season underway now I say.

Tis how i feel Onion.

I've missed it a bit but not much if I'm honest.  Enjoyed doing other things.

I'll only be able to do home games in August due to finances and possibily September as well so glad I got a ST now.

The only pre-season games I enjoy are the ones where you can have a beer by the pitch.

i.e. the local away ones.

Having said that I don't think I shall go tonight :)

They are only opening the Arkeels for all 3 friendlies

Read Arkells or North Stand  :)

OK, thanks.
