I think it might only be online so you'll need to hit up that link .... (but if it's on the radio don't shoot me for being wrong!)

On the matchday radio they were telling you to listen online, so you're probably right here!

Wray says it's unlikely we'll sign Foderingham perminantly despite the club wanting too.

Hopeful of getting him for the season however.


Title: Re: Swindon Town fans' forum on BBC Wiltshire
Post by: Costanza on Tuesday, November 22, 2011, 19:49:57
Wray happy to become permanent chairman

Di Canio would sign a new deal now if offered.

We'll see regarding Foderingham

Ground re-development remains focused within the County Ground site. It will happen, it has stalled due to the relegation (as we know).


Title: Re: Swindon Town fans' forum on BBC Wiltshire
Post by: Weasel on Tuesday, November 22, 2011, 19:51:18
PDC: Might get a STFC tattoo and would sign a 5 year contract now if offered it.

Wray: Foderingham a Palace player and they'll probably want to keep him in January. That might be a blessing in disguise - we might be able to keep him on loan as they're very happy with the fact we're playing him every game and paying some of his wages.

Didn't really realise that there would be an 'if he plays we pay some of his wages, if he doesn't we pay it all' kind of deal.

I suppose as long as the manager isn't pressured to play a player because of it, then it makes sense. There is no suggestion that he is. Though it might explain some loan players continuing presence last season :)

Door open for Timlin and Bodin but only if they are committed to the cause.

Wray doesn't want to help Southend :)

"Remove the player or their money."

If it's anywhere it will be on that link as it's not on radio... I think it'll be on the OS site too.

Sat listening to awful dance music and the sounds of clinking bottles and people chatting in the bar.

My lounge sounds like Cairo's in 1996. I have a real urge for a warm bottle of Holsten Pils.

Went last night and was disappointed to be honest. Cant blame the club for the revenue it brought in but with it being held in the main function room downstairs you had tables and chairs laid out where people couldnt even see Paolo. The evening with Danny Wilson was held upstairs and was a lot better set up. Was talking to someone at the end of the night who had made the effort to drive in from Dorset but wished they had stayed at home and listened to the whole thing on the radio. I enjoyed listening to Paolo's honesty but wish there had been a few more varied questions rather than the ones he gets asked after most games.

I can understand the frustration, but weren't the questions sent in by fans? If so, then there's nobody else to blame for the questions asked

The mic was passed around a lot more on the Wilson evening so there was more maybe trivial questions asked but some really funny ones all the same. I really like Paolo's sense of humour so was hoping for more questions regarding his colourful career as well as the more serious side of managing Swindon. Dont get me wrong I'm glad i went but it was not as good as i was expecting it to be. Guess I'll just have to buy his book.
