This is a clip posted on the Yellow Pigs site, showing their "magnificent support" midweek

(lovely bit towards the end where they are "standing up to hate Swindon")

Contrast this miserable clip with the (admitedly already posted) clip below

 :D Even having only three sides is an indulgence it seems...

Thought this would be appropriate

Yellows posters seemed to think Paolo's Barcelona comparisons were high flown.

They were actually understated when you compare them at the Kebab and us at the Ricoh.

Might be useful to post a Ricoh clip to give John Lennon an idea on how an away day (super saturday or not) should be?

That Pox clip is classic, empty stands everywhere and fuck all atmosphere.

I would have posted it, but I can't be bothered to join

I think their highly promoted "Ultimate Support day" attracted 600 fans to Southend
I think this is actually less than last seasons average !

They called the video clip brilliant...

This quote - actually referring to the match in the video clip - is fucking hilarious

"In fact I thought it was the best atmosphere I have ever witnessed at a football game. I was a season ticket holder with a Ipswich Town when they were in Europe, and the atmosphere from Tuesday will was even better than playing Inter Milan at home.

I for one as well as my son will attend all the games remaining this season, as we enjoy our time together.

Here hope for next year

COYY"


You couldn't make it up

That's made my evening that really has... :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

The Oxford clip reminded me a little of how some of our games felt during the Andy King period, where the biggest chants were self-deprecating and ironic.  Truly depressing.  More atmosphere on Mars.

I think someone was pulling someone else's chain with that.

We've all had lowest ebbs. This isn't even Oxford's.

Remember that 3-2 win over Huddersfield under Malpas? Under 5,000 that night.

I thought that initially but he did go onto say

He was accused of that, but he's standing by his comments

He probably got shot in the  lateral thinking part in Afghanistan to be fair.

I can go much lower than that -any game under Ken Beamish

Had to have a chuckle at the 'O*ford til I die chant' on that vid, more like 'O*ford til half time' then fuck off when you're 4-0 down!!!  :smugfu:

They really are the most pathetic bunch of cretins walking the earth, hard not to laugh.

Oxford are a bit meh to me.

It's all very tedious.

Those who were at the home game with Blackpool in 1986 will remember a similar ( obviously vastly superior ) atmosphere.
Although we were 0-4 down at half-time and lost 2-6, the fans were right behind the Town the whole of the second half. Alan Mayes was playing for Blackpool by then, and scored one of their goals.

We ended up with promotion that year, an unlikely occurrence up the road  :nonono:

This was the first evening game I ever went to as a young lad in the Town End and was a great night apart from the result!!

"Forever in our shadow"

Their favourite pub is closing...

Another cautionary tale as to why poorly sited ground relocations are only ever going to end in tears.  As if it's not bad enough to have to watch your football in the soulless, windswept bowl U-bend in that youtube clip.  The landlord of the Priory, to his credit, puts his back in to creating a decent venue on matchdays for their fans to gather in.  But it's their only decent pub.  And the fact that even that doesn't seem to be viable in the long term speaks volumes.

Another great example of Swindon Supporters making noise through adversity, was the game away at Ipswich many years ago, when we got dicked 6-0 or 6-1, and the noise levels rose with every goal that went in

If you were an Ipswich fan, it was probably even louder than Ipswich V Inter Milan in the 80's (in-joke that one)

wasn't that forest away?

Great day that was haha

Always look on the bright side of life...

The one i'm talking about is definitely Ipswich away

Apparently even the pub is £9million in debt...
