well for some reason i cant ever get on the official site to have a look.
the upside of this is that i havent seen any of the board's statements.

my grandad was a town fan and train guard.and my great grandad drove trains most famously the king george v.
i think they would be embarrased by the new badge if not angered. Both my grandfathers were railwayman, as was my father.......they wouldn't have given a shit. Coming from the generation that fought the Great War, campaigned for worker's rights...survived the economic depression of the 30's, then WWII and post war austerity....they tended to see the bigger picture. PS that doesn';t mean the Board shouldn't have got it right....with their "option 3" were they not proud of the job they did reg? i know the two men i mentioned were very proud of it themselves as are their remaining familys Proud Englishmen, proud Swindonians, proud railwaymen....STFC fans, but they wouldn't have worried about something piddly like a badge, after all we ddin't have one at all until 1974, by which time my 2 grandfathers were gone. and my great grandad was dead before 74 so i'm probably wrong about my assumption about the badge  i still think its shit though I think its shit as well....all this crap about tradition , we've had the current badge on the shirt for longer than any other. |

And this is the well.
