Might see a little jump in sales on Friday. Swindon's largest employer, Honda, has its annual summer shutdown for two weeks and all 5,000 of its employees get paid this Friday.

Paul, do we have any "inside" knowledge on what sort of effort the club are going to be putting in to sales at the Cardiff game, and any other last minute promo's to push the figure on? have they sought volunteers to help with anything pre match etc? Bradford used an open day with a BBQ at the ticket office for example, and I would have though having some stalls around the ground selling the season tickets and almost ramming down the throats of fans would be a good idea given a rather captive audience.
I don't I'm afraid although in line with suggestions from Phil S and others I have emailed the club to offer to help leaflet the Cardiff game if the problem (with not doing this at Portsmouth game) was simply lack of manpower. |

Right, I e-mailed Nick Watkins about the poor catering arrangements in the DR after the Portsmouth game. Got a reply and subsequently I replied to that, including my surprise that they weren't really pushing season ticket sales on Friday evening's match. Got a reply from his pa (he is on holiday for a week) to say that they were now planning to do something extra for the Cardiff game in the concourses. We shall wait and see.

I bought my first season ticket for 8 years today.
I had one from the age of 5 right up to when I was 19 but then stopped because of costs.
I have only missed about 10-15 home games since 2000 anyway so thought this was a good time to come back.

You'll get a seat near us mate easy.
I can also get you in for a fiver some games I'm led to believe?
On another note, walking into an empty, silent County Ground is quite eery. We had a walk up to choose our seats.
