Hi Guys, How many tickets have been sold for the game last time i checked it was 700.

dunno,but i'm almost bolting my load in anticipation

I can't wait. I hope we bring a lively bunch.

For the first time in years, we're going to the in-laws in Yorkshire for Christmas.  This would've been my "home" game so absolutely gutted.

Hope I'm not standing by you then Arriba!!!

I like you ,are you from the 1930's?

Torquay should be without Howe their main striker who was sent off today and if Billy cannot play against us we ahould have too much firepower for them hopefully!

COYR

I'm there.  Fuck knows how many we're bringing????

Still tempted to go, but not sure I can afford it on top of Northampton and Wimbledon.

Cause you can. We need support. :)

I'm going with my work mate. Can't wait.

Really looking forward to this one, not done Torquay away before!

I have a space left.

Calne to Trowbridge to westbury to warminster to Torquay.

Great new ground for you to be thrown out of crispy!

I'll do my best!

Looking forward to this, have family who live 5 minutes away so Boxing Day is the perfect time for the game for me.

We have sold at least 800 out of the 1000 odd they gave us, shouldn't be too far off a sell out.

Can never do the Boxing Day games as it's one of my Daughter's birthday (the football hating one!). I'm working on the Northampton game though!

Can you pay on the day as well ?? this is just for my mate.

Good news- 99% certain that I can make this one.
Bad news- I have not yet witnessed a witnessed a win under Paolo (hope I'm not a jinx)

I've been to 3 away games this season. Won 3, scored 5, conceded 0.

Don't worry.

No...it's all ticket (for Town fans at least)

We are in safe hands then. 4-0 Swindon.

There are tickets left I hope?

There were about 250 left but that was before Saturday I think. I'd get down there or on the phone first thing Monday if I were you.

When I got to the ground on Saturday at 1430 there was a queue from the ticket office out of the door and along past the club shop. Not sure what tickets people were after though. Could have been Torquay, Wigan, Barnet or all three!

Or Nothampton.

Hopefully it will be a full crowd at Plainmoor on boxing day.

we will sell all ours

Yeah and hopefully we will have a lively crowd :)

I say old boy, what a lively bunch !

Still think this is an alias.

Come on who is this?

What ?

I'm with Coca Fola and Horlock07 on this

Either you are a member of the Famous Five and enjoy lashings of ginger beer or your are one of the usual suspects on here!

What ho

Im a Proper Swindon fan why would you say that ?

No one else shares his Belgian I.P. if it helps set your minds at rest.

It's TinTin...

I haven't got a Belgian IP im english.

Actually I take it all back if you are a Belgian Swindon fan, top top country with great people!

 :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

I love Belgium, lovely place, nice people, great food and beer too.

I'd imagine if his mum doesn't let him use an internet site with Swindon commentary on, he's not allowed beer...

Agreed, had one of the best holidays I ever had there although strangely in the 6 days I was there I drank mainly Guinness - philistine

Brilliant

One im english. Two I can use STFC PLAYER SO SHUT UP. WE ARE SWINDON FANS WHY ARE WE ARGUING WITH EACH OTHER ?

I'm not arguing.

You're adorable.

I'm not arguing,
but

Someones changing their story...

Can use Player, but can't use apostrophes.

Yeah but your just annoying me  >:(

Yeah but i asked them on Saturday after the match and they said i can because i helped them with chores and cause it's christmas.

Weren't you living in belgium last week anyway, at least make your mind up.

Bless

Yeah i live in Belgium but im English.

Well i ike you Sam you little Scamp

Haha thanks. Is scamp a complement ?

More of a compliment than scampi! :D

I think DRS is grooming you Sam.

Sort of

Where abouts in Belgium?

Jurbise :)

When I read this I can't help saying it in a Chinese accent.

JURBISE !

To be fair ive let him use my logon for stfcplayer.

No im not grooming him

Christmas spirit alive and well, nice gesture tans

this is the best thing that has ever been posted ever on the TEF

It is pretty good I must admit  :D

Yeah tans is a good man.

Wow the first time tans has been paid a compliment and not called a cunt.  Good work Sam in Belgium or wherever you are.

Yeah don't take the piss. He is a good lad. How many have been sold for wigan >

Haven't got a clue as I don't work for the ticket office.  I suggest you phone them tomorrow if you are that interested.

tans is a dick.

Normal service has been resumed!

Taking my wife and 7 y/o to their first away game for this one. I've done Plymouth a few years ago and Exeter many many years ago so with the exception of Yeovil this will be the full suite of south west teams for me.

Mind you the missus kicked off when I told her she'd be standing for the whole game  :doh: 

Thanks cunts

Make her day by telling her the 7 y/o will have to sit on her shoulders to be able to see anything.

Welcome back old surly enough of this Christmas goodwill! :D

Yes I am taking the Wife and my two boys (8 and 4). We are dreading standing to be honest as I took them all to the Wimbledon game and had to sit the 4 year old on the shoulders. Not only did it kill me but he was not enjoying it to be honest.

At least with a seat he can sit still and listen to his music ;)

Still get there early and find a bar to sit on. Not my shoulders.
We are staying down there for 2 nights so will be nice for the family providing we don't lose or I will have a sulk on.

Looking forward to it and hope you enjoy it. If you see a miserable git with 2 lads and a moaning Mrs. That will be me. Say hello ;)

those with kids could stand along the side at the ground (near the refreshment stand-turnstiles) Weather permitting of course.

WE LOVE YOU SWINDON WE DO> :)

Purchased 2 tickets today for this game. Very excited. My 1st away game since the Charlton Play off

921 sold as of last night!  Almost 900 for Northampton.

That whole side of the ground is currently a building site

Should be good.....all standing behind the goal.

Should be jolly lively like Sam says.

Oh i say old bean, are you going to have a right jolly

The build up? Is he a suggswillsugg imposter??

Your a cheating twat. It's called a forum to get peoples views.

Has mummy let you get a login yet? Nomark

Your so cool. Thats the only thing you can say you have pissed so many people off.

You're*

You don't even know me
I may have pissed loads of people off in my life...do I give a fuck? No

Got to be a wind up.

 :fishing:

Connell should be fit for the trip.

Yeah lets hope. Don't want him to start though :)

Why not? I believe once he gets going he'll become good. All strikers need confidence.

Yeah i suppose but i think we need to give Murray a start he has played key part on when he has came on.

Which you have seen quite clearly from Belgium...

Yeah called STFC PLAYER COMMENTARY COMING OVER TOMOZ WATCHING THEM ON BOXING DAY THEN COMING TO WATCH ON 7TH JANUARY :)

Do you get a good view of the games listening to it on the Player commentary?

Nope but if you have ever listened to it it clearly says that ronan murray has made a great impact on the game.

I personally feel that once Connell gets a couple of starts and a few goals he will tear the arse out of this league

I read that with the voice of Vicki Pollard in my head

Internetz blaggingz

I think what Sam meant was... " I say old chap, have you tried that STFC player? It's bloody good you know. Of course I won't need it on boxing day and January 7th becuase I'll be with all the scallies in the crowd cheering on the boys. Frightfully noisy lot."

Disagree but would love you to be right.

Sam I can't make boxing day, could I have your player login ?

Try this one. This is my mates spare ok.

Username: ******* Password: *******

Gas heads don't have any talents though ?

Try it.

I can't my mum won't let me go on it.

you know the news bit that says "Do not use a hatchet to remove a fly from a friends forehead"?

that doesn't apply if you're reading a post by Sam9255, hatchets away

Its mine

Sorry Tan :) I thought that was the fake one :)

See the TEF is back to it's best giving new users shit.

i'm convinced it's an elaborate joke.

This thread worries me.

I know superstistious crap is just that, but this is far too much like a matchday thread for my liking.

Can a mod change the thread title to something like "Sam9255 is a cunt, please abuse him here"?

If it is, it's the most pointless troll ever.

Sam, do you have any relations called Eric ?

Of course it is, Orangebob will probably have a Belgian IP, burn him.

I just want to know what the 9255 stands for.

Hes very hard working.  He works 9 to 55.

Fuck me it's Sheena Easton.... :beers:

9th Feb 1955 ? Some people have settled down by the time they are 56 though.

He doesn't write like a 56 year old

Moi? I can't have a Belgian IP, I'm English  :eek:

Obviously a wind up. Unless he's mates with Crispy....;.

5th May 1992 ?

I think this is probably it.

Making him 19.  :hmmm:

I am pretty sure the chap Sam is for real, there is a lad on Facebook posting similar things on the league 2 banter page he is called Sam stfc Smith. I was having a look around at what other teams fans have been saying about us and he popped up on there. Seems like too much of a coincidence to me.

Posts such as -




So is this you Sam9255?

I have seen little to suggest this is the case. He's alright.

I've told my parents I am not coming back to the UK for Xmas - their first surprise is I will be for two days, the second...they will have to drive to Torquay :D

Our STFC at Torquay United match preview is now up - http://thewashbag.com/2011/12/23/match-preview-torquay-united-vs-swindon/

What time are people who are driving leaving tomorrow?

Merry Christmas everyone

9am from Oxfordshire

12.30 to arrive at 1.00!

10 am from Swindon!

10am from calne.

Not going, unfortunately, Just too much of a trek from here.

Hope all that are going have a great day, and cheer us in to another 3 points

Wish I was going. Hopefully another 3 points

1330 from Cullompton. Hope parking's not too tricky. First trip to Plainmoor!

8am bus from CG

Wish i was going but I might take a trip up to West Brom Vs Man City

Departing Lavington at 7am dressed as a scottish dinosaurrrrrrrrrrr

you rdsssssssssssssss

Fuck me, you all pushing the things? Glad I'm driving, leaving at 9.30 be in a pub near the ground for 12 on the terraces by 1.30. Need a good spot for the wife and little one. safe journey's everyone.

Haven't read the whole thread, how many tickets have we sold?

Leaving at 11.30 from 'nam.

Actually while on the subject of pubs anyone with local knowledge recommend one that is family friendly and does food? Looking on the net there are naturally plenty but worth having a friendly fans view.

Kick off is at 3?

I think that's his point, slow bus.

And we're off!  :pint:

06:06 on Saturday from HH :)

Indeed it is/was.

Don't anyone ever start a thread like this a week before he match ever again ok?

Fucking jinxed us yesterday!

Echo your comments hobnob...but notice how we haven't heard from the guy who started the thread and commented only on the Torquay v Swindon threads since the match...I'm sticking with my theory it was an oppo fan on a wind up!

Sam hasn't been on since someone connected him to face book postings and mentioned his surname. He supposedly came over from Belgium for the Torquay and Wigan games. Agree about the thread though it started 10 days before the game and might just as well of been a match day thread. Jinxed us I tell you .

Are we agreeing I still have my 100% record then cause this was pretty much a matchday thread.. ;)

Maybe, but you still have to get hammered before starting the Northampton thread

I reckon we were sabotaged, but get pissed up anyway just in case.
