Hello Guys/Gals, being a proud Scot but married to a Swindon lass. I'm always dragging her to see my beloved Greenock Morton!! However after years of nagging am now converted and will soon be taking in my first game at Norwich City in a month or so.
T'is only an 8hr commute from sunny Scotland!!
I've got my hotels and replica kit sorted but have a few questions which hopefully you guys can help...

1. How do I get tickets for away end??
2. What kind of support will you/we have??
3. Is there a traditional meeting place/pub for away fans?
4. On a scale of 1-10, what level of abuse would i get with my kilt on?
5. Am we the only members of the Tartan Swindon Supporters?
6. Is Delia really a loony?

Cheers

Danny

My answers will be similar to Ralphy's but hey...

1) Phone STFC Box Office and they should post some to you
2) Hard to say as we haven't played there for ages, hopefully 1000+ though
3) No, as I said we haven't played there for ages. However, if you look on here in the weeks prior to the game, people will decide on somewhere to meet and you'd be more than welcome to join us all
4) Spot on Ralphy, 10
5) No, there are plenty on this site alone
6) Yes

My father in law is a Morton fan, but I've still not (after 6 years of regular trips to Dunoon) managed a game at Cappielow.  I was hoping you were going to stuff Oxford in pre-season, but sadly it wasn't to be.

Personally, I'd try the kilt thing.  Why not?  They've probably never even seen one in Norfolk.  probably have the locals pointing at you and get your picture in the local paper.

Or chasing him with pitch forks thinking he's some sort of Alien.

They have only just got Cars in Norfolk.

I bet that's tricky with webbed fingers

To question 3 are you going in to London or directly to Norwich? If the former some of us london based meet up before heading off. On 4 if you wear a kilt and hear the name leroy, run, very fast.

They probably name you as Miss Norwich 2009 !!

I went to Glasgow last season and we made the trip to watch Greenock Morton play.Was the last game,they were pants and lost.

Still the ground was good and getting the cheerleades to dance in torrential rain was amusing.

After our [seemingly endless] recruitment campaign north of the border there are now more pissheads in the Swindon Town team than Greenock Norton. Probably.

Good to see us stealing other club's fans.

1809, they've got some catching up to do. Or burn him as a witch

For London based fans, i've just booked tickets online for £14.20 return to and from Liverpool st.

i think im on the 11.30 from liverpool st.

Jammy or what - I don't think I can afford to go to this :(

Just looked at train prices, cheapest from Chippenham is £42 (two singles) - I would have given it a miss at that price but I'm hoping to tie it in with visiting a friend that weekend, and going down on the friday, returning saturday evening is the same price as leaving saturday morning! So I think £42 represents decent value in that respect.

I'm on the 10.30, and the 17.30 back.

just checked on the 11.30 and 17.30 back

Would imagine we'll all be on the 17.30, hope they've got the bar well stocked!

Thinking about the train, its 38 quid return to reading, anyone else thinking of going from those parts?!

Thats goin to be cheaper than driving...not a bad price.

I've just realised I can't go. Bugger.

I quite fancied this game...... but unfortunately I'll be flying to Tokyo that day for a nice three week holiday!!!

(Sorry, had to tell someone I was going!)

I had to time it so that I missed as few games as possible! Return late on the friday before the Leeds game, should cure my jet lag!

i'll be in New York that weekend.

but if i was to go this is my journey and prices. so on that basis. i'm out

Same day as the Morrissey gig at the Oasis,so i'm not going either.

I had booked the day off as well.

I'm there the week before...NY is great.

You wont even be the only Greenock Morton fan!

Haha STA is right I was born in Greenock, near the Larkfield area and still follow Morton although they have had a shoddy start to the season.  Thankfully they have now fired Irons and will hopefully now appoint a good manager to start the charge up the league.
