I'm still struggling to see why playing Leeds is seen as such a big draw. This is the 2nd season they've been in our league, so surely a game against Colchester or Crewe should be more of a challenge and therefore a tastier affair?

I thought 2nd half against Col U was alright.
The DRS needs to do some chants and that will not happen.

Crewe were in our league last year! Possibly the least atmospheric ground ive ever been to. |

Oh were they? Well, any one else that got relegated then. I really don't feel any more up for the Leeds game than when we play the likes of Walsall and Oldham...

Well I think it was the game where some old dude got stuck in the turnstile and his trousers fell down so yes!

'big club' init.
That makes it better and worth more points some how. Im not really sure how....
Only game I'm looking forward to more than the others is Leicester because its been years since we've played them.....

The stand behind the goal is so small then when I walked past it outside I got soaked by the sprinklers that were watering the pitch |

I must admit Leicester is a match I am looking forward to, I used to love our rivalry, seemed to be a bit of a special "intenseness" for want of a better (or real) word.

Like it or not, Leeds is a big game. It'll be our highest attendance of the season again, and I think that speaks for itself.
I personally can't wait!

All that indicates is that people turn up to it en masse, and it's that bit i don't get...

See how many people sitting around you don't really seem that interested in Swindon, funny that, that's because there will be loads of Wiltshire Leeds armchair fans turning up to watch them, they aren't Swindon fans just coming to watch us. Doesn't make it a massive match for us.

So your saying that that anyone who's looking forward to the Leeds game as a big match isn't a real fan? |

Yes Ben that's exactly what I'm saying.
No how the heck did you get that from that statement. What I mean is the big crowd is not down to loads of part time Town fans turning up, it's down to Leeds bringing 3,000 in the away end and loads of "Leeds followers" who maybe live in this area turning up to watch Leeds. Yeah I'm sure there will be a fair few Town fans who don't go to every match turning up, which is fine, but the not in the huge numbers people think. Last season in the Arkells there were shed loads of middle aged Leeds fans in the winners at half time, sat near me in the enclosure etc.
Just saying that yes the attendance will be larger than normal, but that doesn't really make it a "huge" match for me. It's just another league match.
