I was born here, my parents aren't from here and have never really had any interest in football. Went to a few games and have been vaguely following what's going on ever since.

Born in Greenock, Scotland (home of the mighty Greenock Morton) and moved to Swindon when we were 4 as my Dad's job re-located. Joined Junior Robins in 1989 and have been regularly attending Swindon games ever since then. Consider Swindon my home and love watching the Town all the time, don't think I could ever follow another team like I do Swindon  |

My mum, dad, grandads, nans, uncles, aunts you name it, all support Swindon! And i was born in Swindon. My dad when he was driving ships got my grandad to send out newspapers clippings of what was going on and the other week gave me all the newspapers he saved from when we were promoted into the premiership  So i think his love of STFC rubbed off on me and his passion for the club was contagious! Anyway! I went to my first game when i was about 6 because it was kid for a quid and begged for a season ticket until i got one when i was about 12! Ever since been to every home match, and quite a few away ones too. |

From the station at Colchester
To the cells of Warrington
From the services at Leicester
To the slums of Northampton
We travel over England
And one day Europe too
Cos we all follow the Swindon
We're the famous Town End crew.

Born in Swindon started watching town in 1948 moved to kent in 1956 but travelled back to most saturday home and away games until 1973. when I got married and could no longer afford it .Although I have moved around a lot and I have never lost my love of STFC and even now living in Caister-on sea Norfolk I still manage about six games a season otherwise I listen to STFC World( crap Brunel commentary) .
Like to thank all of you who go to the games and post you coments on here :shock: Fair play! |

Born in Scotland - most of the family are Rangers supporters but moved down to England when I was 6 months old. grw up in Malvern which wasn't close to any football league team. T'other Grandad - Spurs fan - took me to the odd game at West Brom and Villa. When Hereford got in the League I went with the lads from school for a few seasons. Then it's been a case of going along to support the local team where ever I've lived. Saw both Bristol clubs on the odd occassion when I was at college but started going to football properly when I moved to Swindon in 1992. Been going to the Town ever since. Not very dyed-in-the-wool and romantic I know but no point bullshitting |

Born in Kent, moved to Wootton Bassett 20 years ago, hated football until I was 12, went to Swindon versus Wimbledon and we lost 4-2, started supporting Swindon from then on apart from a very brief 4 month stint supporting Middlesbrough because of Jan Aage's transfer (I'm not proud of that)

Not born in Swindon and have nno family there, but my old man was a Town fan and took me when I was too young to know any better. I was hooked immediately!

Born in PMH back in 1979, Granddad and old man also born in Swindon and supported the Town. Old man played for the youth team as well, or so he tells me!
Taken to my first game at some point in the 80's, either Hull or Wolves at home and fan ever since. Went to Wembley in 1990 but couldn't go in 1993 as the stupid Scots made me go to school, so I sprinted home and listened to extra time on Radio 5 live. That was one of the best memories of my life going to play football in my town top that evening after we won promotion to the Premiership!!
