The back up plan - M4 Junction 17???!!!???

[Simon Pieman]

It would be good. Got a spare £680ish quid you can give us though?

Holding a glow stick for 5 minutes is enough effort. 90 mins would just be plain annoying. People would throw them away after 10 mins anyway.

If Swindon moved to a ground near Chippenham it would in theory be more ideal for myself.

One problem.

This plan makes me feel sick to my stomach and there would be no way in hell that I'd ever watch Swindon play at home in or around Chippenham.

You could always hang it round your neck, I think they come with a lanyard.

If the OR organisers go for it I'd happily stump up some of the cash, I don't think I'd get away with £600+ mind the missus would kill me.

I just need to sort out this whole paypal thing first though.

Was thinking if we could get the Town End lot to use the military style ones though it'd look class.

I must admit I'm not really an expert in this field!

I'm going to go to that military shop in Gorse hIll see if they can get any in stock.

I also thought it might be easier to get something called a glo-stick past the stewards and police than something labelled as a flare.

I think they might find the word flare a bit scary, despite the fact that they're just really bright glow-sticks.

I won't go if we move there. Fact.

Football League rules say we can infringe on another team's catchment area - so surely Chippenham would complain for one.

if they pack their bags and move to Chippenham then im supporting Supermarine instead. the whole point is that STFC should be your local football team (in most cases as i know some of you travel from outside the borough to get to games) but if we moved to junction 17 it won't be my local team anymore. Supermarine will be. its almost like Mk but on a smaller scale

[Rich Pullen]

But the club would argue that their are many fans across Wiltshire like myself who are not from Swindon but support them as they are my 'local' club.

Flaw in their argument is that people want to support Swindon Town and not some Motorway team near Chippenham.

Comrades, like Reg has said the time has come to up the ante!!!!!

Si-Pie where was that link for those military orange flares, there are more hats on the way, we need to keep the pressure up.

That's more like it! First the T-shirts and hats, now lets move in with the trousers.

I was born in Chippenham (yes I am an inbred scumbag). I lived in Chippenham for 30 plus years of my life. I would not, repeat WOULD NOT, go and watch Swindon Town home games if the stadium was relocated to J17 of the M4.

Maybe I'm being amazingly fucking stupid, but what has happened to the town that once took pride in encouraging investment and development in its infrastructure not too many years ago?

We are talking about Swindon Town Football Club, and by direct inference means its location should be in the town of Swindon.

The Fans Consortium has my full support.

It's never going to happen, so I wouldn't worry about it.

Cheerio Diamandis and the rest of the Wills lot.

Over my dead body!!

A significant part of my childhood was leaving Malmesbury Road at lunchtime and making the journey to Swindon... Listening to the radio on the way.

I hate the idea of Swindon moving to Chippenham... Regardless to how much easier it would be.

We must act to stop any other suggestions being made.

[Iffy's Onion Bhaji]

do you reckon the club are saying all this just to piss us off? they know they wont be here much longer so they may as well piss us off on their way out

[millom red]

Its pull the cordy thing and hold at arms length Jan. Just dont let the kids have them!
