Swindon V Histon Matchday Thread. THE BIG ONE!!

[herthab]

Part of me thinks we should win this easily.

A larger part thinks it's gonna be a very hard game which, if we're not fully prepared, could result in an embarassing defeat.

I'll let heart rule head and go for a 4-1 for Town.

[blinkpip]

I hope it doesn't get called off when I get there. Raining hard.

[Samdy Gray]

Nah, it'll be clear by 3pm: http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/24hr.shtml?id=4132

I'm confident of a win today.

[axs]

I'm gonna go with a nervy 2-1 victory for town.

6-0 Town. Cox with 4.

6-0 Town. Cox with 4.

 I'd love to see it....like when we stuffed Kettering 7-0 at their dung heap.

 All the sweeter for those of us who could remember the humiliation of our previous visit there.

 Wet, windy, shit pitch, hard to beat long ball side, this is a true test of the mental strength of our players.   

 It would be nice to think that the losing to a non league side once a  complete decade sequence, since we entered the FL....only applied to the 20th Century.

I went to that game in Kettering, Quinny getting a couple on hs FA cup debut for us, great day out in a shit town with a shit ground and a ruck with about 200 Norfamton fans......sweet.

As for today, I am going for a bore draw 0-0.

[Sussex]

5-1. It's about time we dicked someone.

(and the Brighton fan on Soccer Am blabbing that they'll walk all over us Wednesday has fucked me right off)

Roar.

 I'd love a clean sheet...reminds me of years ago going to Stoke,  festive period, 94/95 I suppose.  We'd been like a sieve at teh back conceding something like 35 goals in the previous 15 games, this of course on teh back of 100 in the Prem.

 Wet, windy at teh old Victoria ground...unusual set up, a terrace for away fans  with a stand behind occupied by the home fans....firstly it was necessary to remove a crack squad of Stoke knuckledraggers from the away end, then the jolly Potters fans showed who put the pie in occupied by raining down an assortment of discarded food and empty bottles etc.

 The wind and rain was horizontal straight into our faces, but we got a 0-0 draw,  I was well chuffed....

Iremember going to Dag and Redbridge in the cup...that was scary,probably the most worried for my life ive ever been.

[Chubbs]

I went to that game, a week after it was called off for the first time.....it was a scarey atmosphere there, I remember they almost took the Townend on the replay at the CG...which they won.

Am i right in thinking i will be able to listen to this over the bbc wilts radio on t'internet?

 TBF Leefer you don't.  It was just Dagenham.  Redbridge Forest were a completely different outfit who merged with Dagenham in the 90's. Therefore the side we lost to in teh 80's doesn't exist any longer.

 RF came about from an amalgamation of two famous amateur sides....Leytonstone and Walthamstow Avenue..

I have personally never seen the Town against non-league opposition-the prospect of humiliation is too terrifying
