Looking forward to this. I'm guessing it will be a near full stadium?

Where is the money from this going?

Is it going to charity or does it go to Roberts like a testimonial would?

Might sound harsh, but we were the one paying his wages for months whilst he was injured and/or drunk and in rehab.

We should get the money!

 No chance of a full stadium...I remember Charlie Henry's testimonial...a true Swindon hero, just over a couple of thousand. Pissed down like a monsoon, we played Soton, then top flight and got stuffed 7-1  Bad Mood

 Fraser Digby had the right idea...get yourself ManUre reserves and full house guaranteed...2000 Town loyalists and 12000 sad cases.

I might go to this. Sounds pretty good. Would be nice to give Robbo a decent send off as well.

I don't think I will go, I'll probably try and save the cash.

Aren't some television 'stars' playing as well? Scraping the barrel!

i wont be attending due to work,but doubt i would have gone anyway.
gurney was more deserving of a game like this, as he served us better before having to retire due to injury.
