Title: How old were you.. Post by: larwood on Monday, October 10, 2005, 09:24:43 ..when you first saw Swindon play?
I'm asking because there is a bloke that sits near me who brings his kids,and i keep on telling him i'm going to report him to the NSPCC :) :wink: .Personally i was about 12 on the momentous day when my dad said to my brother and me"Lets go to a football game".But living in the Didcot triangle meant we were able to make a choice between three teams,and both the pox and reading had cow shed grounds so we went to Swindon :D .And hand on heart i've never been regretful of the decision to go and watch Swindon.
