No it's wholly appropriate for Rovers to ask their fans to vote on it. It would be down to STFC to ask us for our thoughts, consult with local residents, check with the council etc. After all STFC are the ones with the relationship with the fans, community and council

I think it will be us.
From a practicality point of view, I can't think of one single thing that Cheltenham have in favour of us, from a Rovers point of view.
We have a bigger ground (We have more than double their capacity)
We have better facilities (Hard to beleive I know!)
We have more parking ( The parking in and around Cheltenham's ground and the town centre is appauling)
The train station is within easy walking distance (Cheltenham Spa station is right at the other end of Cheltenham to Whaddon Road, much further than Swindon Station to CG)
If we allow them to come here, they will choose us over Cheltenham. Cunts. Well, I said all this weeks ago. Rovers would, I have heard from a few people there, prefer to come to Swindon just because the facilities are better. That doesn't mean, of course, that it will or should happen. |

What sort of crowds do people think they would realistically get if they were playing their home games at the CG? 3-4000?

Well personally if they did use the CG I think we should restrict them to 2 stands anyway, and restrict the capacity to say 5000 or 6000....as don't see why they should be allowed the whole thing, I certainly wouldn't let them anywhere near the townend |

Just give them the Bank and the Arkells. No. They don't set foot on my front lawn. If they want to discuss that, they can do that with my husband. He will be back on Friday! [Quote from Jim Lovell's wife in Apollo 13] |
