Make that 3. In fact, I only read our forum when pericarp posts. I'm a real minority I am.

Other teams forums help give somebody in my position a different perspective of matches and stuff, our commentary isn;t always the greatest.
In cases such as Turkey's forum, however, there is often little point as their apparent hatred for PDC/Swindon seems to get in the way of all objectivity.

I read other teams forums to see basically what the opinion of us is from a different perspective and as BR says it can give us an insight into how we are playing/how we played against these teams.
I find it very interesting and it gives a much wider view of the league rather than our obviously biased views and also gives us heads up on players released/transfer strories etc.

I often listen to opposition commentary also.
You'd've have thunk the Port Vale commentators, for example, were Swindon fans.

Same but the problem is with the mixed fans forums is that most threads become dick waving contests and "my dad's bigger than your dad" type things. The views i've seen from some fans regarding us are stupid and based upon nothing but rubbish. |

That Torquay forum was quite funny. Some rather demented views about our great leader.

Just the usual crap from other teams that know nothing about us. 'They havent won the league they bought it', 'Di Canio is a lunatic' etc. Happy to be out of this league.  |

I think out of all the forums in this division the ones that despise Paolo and us more than any are Creepy who also have hugely stupid/uninformed fans of any club ever.
They are convinced they will walk the league next year because they have the "biggest financial backing of any club outside the Premier League" and that we will almost certainly go bust in the summer because we have unsustainable wages and that we have gone into admin twice in the past and are very very close to doing it for a 3rd time.
It does make me laugh and I do enjoy reading what other fans do think of us as a club and as a club managed by a lunatic (their words).
