I had the honour of meeting the old boy post match. I'm not being sicophantic here either. Avoiding the cameras and limelight - stood by the touchline, soaking up the atmosphere and enjoying the moment as much as your humble, ticket buying Town-Ender.
An absolute honour to meet the bloke who has saved us on more than one occasion - great to see him modestly enjoying our successes - very much on the fringe of the action as opposed to courting publicity. A true fan.
Can I also add that upon being thanked for eveything he has done for us, he went a rather funny shade of pink, clearly embarrassed by the praise. Again, a great test of the man's fabric. True modesty and class are traits that are hard to fake.
Here's to your Sir. Seton.

Maybe he was embarressed because inside he knows he does it to boost his own ego and social standing not for us. Or maybe he saw your superman Y fronts.

Here's to your Sir. Seton. Unfortunately it is still time for him to go, until he has gone mick the Greek will still have his claws sunk very firmly into the club............its a case of thanks SSW but its time for you to step aside

Be that as it may - the guy still deserves all the credit in the world. Without him, you'd proabably have found yourself stood watching Supermarine today.

Maybe, but I'm still abit mystified why he would have someone like Mike Diamandis as his financial advisor, there's just something that doesn't stick right........he chooses a man who has more failed businesses 'than you can shake your stick at' to look after his money, very strange. I'm not ungrateful, I thank him for keeping the club afloat but I also notice he has given everything in the form of loans so ultimately wants something back........and as arriba said if we had the money we'd have doe the same.

I've lost all respect for the man, which is a real shame.

I too have lost all respect for Sir Seton Wills....if he stays and keeps diamond mike here he will not be respected by any swindon fans and will more than likely become a hated man!

Here's to your Sir. Seton. Lovely bloke he is Mark...Next time you get cuddly with him can you ask him to open the book's please. And perhaps throw something into the pot about investagive journalism to shit them up!!! Is that not what you do? Millom Matt Just a thought like!

Shows you aint been to many games this season Mark! The guy deserves little credit imo. He sits in between the club moving forward next year with Bill, or us doing a yo-yo. He needs to sell if he wants to be remembered as an STFC legend. After all, that IS what he said he wanted to do not too long ago! I dont understand your "you'd probably have found yourself watching supermarine today" You'd!!!....what about we!! I had you down as someone who cares about the club! Matt

I'm sure he's a great bloke, and there's no doubt he's saved us in the past - of course we respect that - nobody's ever doubted it. The mistakes he's making at the moment though aren't acceptable.

I'm with Mark H - whatever his faults in terms of his choice of people to ru(i)n the club (and it's a fairly major fault, granted) - SSW is a gent, pure class. I hope he enjoyed the day yesterday and I'm sure he did. Now let's hope a deal can be worked out over the summer that will see the parasites removed and allow SSW to remain involved alongside Bill and the Fans' Consortium, then hopefully we'll all enjoy many more days like yesterday, without having to wait another 10 years!

I dont doubt the fact he is a gent Paul, and i dont doubt the fact that he has the club at heart. I just hope your faith in the man and his integtrity is on a sound footing.
