My first game was against Leicester at Home, the score was 1-1 but i cant remember who scored for us?, Steve Walsh scored their goal. :| If it's the one I think Shaun Taylor scored for us. And Julian Joachim got sent off for not hitting Calderwood! The linesman thought he did though. |

I *think* mine was:
28 AUG (1982) Port Vale Home 1-0 3,602 Rideout
I know it was against Vale, and I know it was early 80s. This one seems like the right one ... sat in the Town End. About the only thing I can remember is being too short (and young) to see over the hoarding (was it a wall back then?) so some fella lifted me up so I could see.

Mine was 3rd or 4th August 1993/4 ish... Digby's testimonial. 1-1 draw with Man Utd reserves. Can't really remember much about it, as I would have been 5 or 6, not even the goal scorers.  Have got an Adver article about it somewhere though. |

I was at Digby's testimonial, my main memory was a couple of Manyoo fans near me cheering when they scored.

I remember some memorial game when a Swindon XI played a Nationwide team, is that the one you're talking about?

I recall this one as I was on a cycling holiday in the west of Ireland, but couldn't quite help myself, when push came to shove and had to pedal, get a boat and train to enjoy an appearance on the Bank in the sunshine. |

west ham at home in the prem. i was about 8, and went with the scouts/cubs/whatever the fuck they're called. 1-1 i think, but fuck knows who scored. That was Ty Gooden's debut, he came on as a second half substitute and put in a cross for Jan Agge to score (I think) late on. My dad and I both proclaimed that Gooden was the real deal. I do not know when my first game was - I'll do some research later on to try and pin-point the day my life took a turn for the worse. |

4 Dec 1979 ... when we drew 1 all at Arsenal ... I was 8 at the time and didnt really pay a massive amount of attention
Also saw the replay on 11 Dec 1979 - first game at CG .. we beat Arsenal 4-3!! Classic game
Tho it was only after I moved down to Swindon from London that I became a regular in the 1981-82 season
My dad took me to Brentford at home which we lost 3-0 .. I wouldnt class myself as a fan at that stage .. this kind of occurred over the next few games I went to ...but I know I was converted by the end of that season when we beat the Scum 3-2 and Rideout hit 2 goals ... and I made a ton of money from 10p being chucked onto the Stratton bank from their fans
Sadly we went down that year .. but I was now hooked!
Then 2 years later we finished 17th in Div 4!!

And I was at the lowest ever Swindon attendance for a league game(at least I think it is) (loyal supporter!!) which i think was v Darlington (1,681 and yes I was the one!!) ...
amazing stuff!

Swindon Blackburn, December 1st 1990, I was 7 it was 1-1, at a guess my all time hero Duncan Shearer got the goal, but might have been Alan Mac???

Now that's the kind of thing I do these days ... I really don't remember much from those days, but I suppose I was only about seven. You didn't help any kids up onto walls, did you? :shock: Revisit of the first game this weekend - perhaps I should switch from the Nationwide for old time's sake!! |
