Just read in the local paper(newbury weekly news) an interview with AF that all Swindon reserve games to be played at Hungerford Towns Bulpit Lane ground, also youth players to be loaned to Hungerford to get experience.
Apologies if this has already been posted elsewhere just can not remember seeing it on OS or any forums, to be honest I think it is a good idea to limit the games played on the CG pitch.

No haven't seen that elsewhere, must be recent. Bloody hell the NWN has done something on Swindon. Bloody turncoats normally just do the plastics now.

Yesterdays copy it only comes out once a week on a Thursday, I never bother looking at the sport but I had a quick glance this morning and it was the main headline on the back page ,an interview with AF and a preview to tonights game where AF says it will be a pretty strong side.

Fantastic idea not only saves the pitch but we may pick up a few of their fans if they happen to go and watch the reserves, they just maybe tempted to come to the CG and watch the real thing.Sounds like a good way of trying to bring in new fans from certain catchment areas around hungerford.

slightly annoying that if your not in work in the afternoon when the reserves are playing usually you can just pop along to the CG with it just being up the road, with it being in Hungerford then you'll have to plan to go rather than leave it until the last minute.
I can sort of see why they are doing it though - to preserve the pitch which makes sense.

Surely that depends where you live? |

Hmm... good point. Do most Swindon fans live closer to the County Ground than to Bulpit Lane? Maybe a census is in order...  |

I dont, but as i'm 100 miles from the CG, it doesn't make any difference!
