Monday night?!?!?!?!?

My plans are rew-eeened

Hang about, so we play colchester on saturday and then play exeter on the monday.

Thats not fucking on

magic. i couldnt make this one.

Sat 3: Leeds (A)
Mon 5: Tranmere (H)
Sat 10: Colchester (A)
Mon 12: Exeter (H)

An unusual run of fixtures it has to be said!

Saturday, Monday 2 weeks running. How shit is that? We'll lose because it's on TV as well.

I really hope we don't pick up any injuries!

we will win the lot!!

Wasn't our last televised game the win at Lincoln?

Yes but it doesn't make our record much better. Fucking Sky.

I was just thinking about that. It was early the following season, at home to Yeovil (0-1) and the Portuageezers were loitering in the background and Rufus Brevit (sp) was their spokesman but did not answer a single question. It makes my blood run cold just to think of what might have happened.

That was a great game-Lukas,Peacock, Corr and Zaboub,all brilliant on the same day!

No.

We lost 1-0 to Yeovil. Lloyd Owusu scored. Tommy M££ney was the sky guest.

As I think I said ::)

I'd managed to forget that game.

Thats how slow my internet connection is at the moment!!!

In addition, I believe that was Simon Cox debut coming on as sub and he famously said he'll be banging down the managers or words to those effect, which lead Fred Elliot and alot of others to conclude he was a jumped up tosser who was going to be crap.

We did beat Bristol City on Sky mind you.

The worse had to be that FA Cup whatever round it was replay against Notts County - the worst sky game anyway, possibly of all time

That scum game :(:(:(

He did sound like a bit of a jumped up tosser at the time though in fairness. And I think all Fred said was 'you've talked the talk, now prove you can walk the walk' or something along those lines, a la Chief Wiggum. I think Cox proved he could 'walk the walk' many times over.

Agree about the Notts and Oxford games. I nearly threw the TV out the window on both occasions.

The Lincoln game was a good one. I suppose the best ever televised Town game has to be the '93 play off final. There's been a few other decent ones in between as well.

If I'm watching a game live on TV as opposed to live at the ground, I get about 100 times more nervous. God alone knows why.

I'm exactly the same....the Lincoln game I had to go out for a walk at half time to calm down.

i got pissed the night before and woke up 70 minutes in :)

and me.

like filling the bog bowl with curdled chocolate moose

oops was meant to say i get nervous before too not replying to king

Rufus f*cking Brevit.......I agree. Makes you realise how far we have come.

Ohhh excellent :D Day after my birthday now :D

I was going to have to miss the game as I'm on holiday up lincoln way. Looks like my daughter and me may be the only Town fans watching the game in a boozer up those parts.

I'll probably be in the pub on my own watching this one!

I'm in Spain, what are the odds i can find somewhere televising the game?

I was living in the USA at the time. I took the afternoon off work, all excited, having told all of my colleagues about what I was doing. Got home, changed into my Swindon shirt and called Comcast and paid $15-20 for the pleasure of watching the most awful display I have ever seen from a Swindon team (and I've seen shome shite!) I am mentally scared from that game!

That's Songkran. I'm likely to be sat on the beach then.

Fucking typical..

I made the stupid decision to turn down an evening with a lady to watch that Notts County match. 15 minutes I changed my mind!!

I won 15 quid on the Lincoln match. At half time the tefs very own Yeovil Red decided it would be a good idea for us all to chip in a quid and pull out a players name. Next Swindon player to score. I drew the cock!

It wasn't interesting the first time Dave.

We've lost.

I had just split from the missus and living in shitty digs in Crawley. Managed to find a pub with sky and asked the Landlord to put it on. Sat on my own like a twat in the corner........bad memories...

My memories are nowhere near as bad as yours Flash, but...

I was at uni at the time and took the whole uni football teams I was playing for to a pub I knew would be showing this game for our every Wednesday "social" event.  I'd told them they would see a "proper" game and a "proper" team - most of them were from Bracknell or Guildford but had an Aunt who had once been to Manchester, so of course they were all Man U, Chelsea and Liverpool fans.

I've never been more ashamed.  They all looked at me at the end of the game as if to say:  "you do a 140 mile round trip every other weekend to watch that shite?"

I will be spending the easter weekend in yorkshire  :) hotel etc. etc.

hehe, the Mrs is from York. I see a way of getting to the Leeds game now.. Ta

Sky should televise only derbys or top of the table clashes from Leagues 1 & 2. They are the lower only league games games that really reflect well on TV.

A lot of the games that we have been involved in on TV have not really done us any favours at all.
