Title: The eternal frustration of a lower league football fan... Post by: carlmcq on Tuesday, March 15, 2011, 17:12:53 Hi everyone - long time reader, first time contributor to the forum here.
I'm part of a website/podcast/Twitter page called OptaJoke and I've produced a blog entitled "The eternal frustration of a lower league football fan..." - Being a Swindon fan it somewhat encapsulates our agony (and ecstasy!) of following the team. Feel free to have a read of it at the link below and let me know what you think! http://optajoke.wordpress.com/2011/03/14/the-eternal-frustation-of-a-lower-league-football-fan/ Thanks very much.

Post by: carlmcq on Tuesday, March 15, 2011, 20:48:23 Thanks for the comments, and glad you liked the stickers...I hunted down the books when I was last back at my parents, so will eventually upload some or all of the individual photos if people wish!!

I follow the OptaJoke fake stats on twitter, very amusing they are too. Title: Re: The eternal frustration of a lower league football fan... Post by: bullethead on Tuesday, March 15, 2011, 23:01:13 Nice blog, Cheers - enjoyed reading that!
Title: Re: The eternal frustration of a lower league football fan... Post by: Drakes Way on Wednesday, March 16, 2011, 02:19:09 Good article.
I can certainly relate to the bit about being in a different country and following the team over the internet. Title: Re: The eternal frustration of a lower league football fan... Post by: pauld on Wednesday, March 16, 2011, 09:17:58 That's a cracking piece of writing. Nice one!

Title: Re: The eternal frustration of a lower league football fan... Post by: carlmcq on Wednesday, March 16, 2011, 17:32:00 Nice blog, a good read. I follow the OptaJoke fake stats on twitter, very amusing they are too. Great to see I've come across someone on here already who follows us there! I'm the guy who comes up with the 'stats'!! Thanks to everyone else I've not thanked for the good comments! Title: Re: The eternal frustration of a lower league football fan...

Title: Re: The eternal frustration of a lower league football fan... Post by: carlmcq on Monday, March 21, 2011, 14:59:32 Without sounding like a prick, and this being an 'other football stuff' part of the forum, I've done another blog if anyone wants to read it...not Swindon based this time, but includes some more classic sticker book pictures - this time on a 'preview' of the Man United team in 1995...
http://optajoke.wordpress.com/2011/03/21/optajoke-previews-man-united-1995-96/ I'll leave you all in peace for a bit now!! Title: Re: The eternal frustration of a lower league football fan...
