Somebody called redtowntillidie has posted on the BBC 606 website that "a reliable source" has informed him that following a structural survey major problems with the Arkells have been found and the stand will not be available for the whole of the season!! That would be a disaster, but is it a wind-up or has anybody else heard anything?

Sounds amazingly far fetched to be a wind up, you've got to be really sad to sit around and make that up..............

Never underestimate the lengths that interweb people will go on a wind up.
Does sound a bit random though.

Indeed. I really need to make a fake myspace page so I can do a Toni next year. Although I'm not sure a fake could ever live up to real Toni.

Not sure what to make of that one.
Personally I think somebody has been yanking somebodies chain somewhere down the line.
The guy/gal who posted it does seems to have posted on Town matters since Jan 08, so seems unlikely to be on the wind up himself.

If true (big old if) - what would be the estimated capacity?

Absolutely bollocks. They wouldn't have replaced all the seats if it were true.

Could be that the club are getting a survey done or putting some minor damage right and someone got the wrong end of the stick through rumours from someone who works there or something. |

I'm with Ben on this one. Surely given the board have invested money on the Arkells over the summer seems to indicate that rumour is a little off the wall, or shall we say somewhat exaggerated......
I hope.....

Hundreds have season tiks for the Arkells...the club would have stopped selling them for the Arkells if this was remotely possible i think...but then and again this is Swindon!

At the moment I'll take this with a large pinch of salt, the new board have largely been very transparent and if something like this had occured I'm sure the fans would have been informed.
