I'm still feeling very apathetic and indifferent which is a bit worrying. I think watching all this cricket has made me disillusioned with football  :?

yes but I've already said that I have to do the scoreboard for home games 8)

Hopefully once I start college I'll be able to work midweek nights and have weekends free for away trips to farflung places such as Nottingham and Gillingham.

'Boetad' is a word far more worthy of a place in the dictionary than some of the shite that got in there a couple of weeks back

im not looking forward to the season at all. im really dreading it. some crap away games and the home games that are guna be dull that cost £23! and then we wont have SSP and we have got about 10 players on the books at the moment. it would be nice to actually have a team by august 6!

yes it wont be long before that starts again. i dont think everyone should chant that. i think it should be "sack the board" they are the ones who have made this forthcoming season look so gloomy

Its too early to get excited yet.I'm more excited about the ashes at the moment,but that won't last long cause the aussies will probably stuff us.
Sorry Whilts this tread is depressing,but i'm a Swindon supporter for fucks sake!How can i  not be a pessimist?Although i'm not writing off our chances yet,anything could happen to us in the coming season,i've got faith in king.

That is the basis of a good squad. I would try and bring in about 4 midfielders, a versatile defender and a striker.  The deals for Shakes and Comyn Platt are as good as done.

I wouldnt feel so down about it. If the squad played to potential we have a solid keeper. The best centre back in the division, the quickest (attention span) centre back in the division, Jenkins is reliable, one of the best midfielders when fit, and one hard working striker and one good one.

We do need midfielders though badly, we need back up for Nicho and figures crossed a striker like Cureton, Akinfenwa was mentioned by King. Seems like a bit of a moaner and why did the talks with city break down but what do people think of him as a player

I'm looking forward to it even if I do miss the start.  Plus the only mate I go with who is a real Swindon fan, won't be playing Saturdays anymore because his team have been thrown out the league :D

Akinfenwa's talks with Bristol broke down as transfer fees couldn't be agreed - Bristol wanted to offer a deal which was performance related which Torquay weren't satisfied with.

The squad is a tad threadbare but any time soon the transfers are gonna pour in.  Any word on how much we're getting for Super Sam?

Reports were 750k, but the club have said that is bollox, so could be either 300k or 1m!
