Next season is my ten year anniversary.A whole decade of being a Swindon supporter.All those minutes and hours gone,i can't help thinking that i could have done something a bit more constructive with my time,like learn spanish or take up pipe smoking .But fuck it i made my decision and i will stick by it.
Did anyone else here go to the last away game of that season in 95/96?It was shewsbury and it was my first ever away game, what a day it was amazing.

Congratulations.....you've picked a pretty lean 10 years  . I was at Gay Meadow.....was having trouble finding a pub, they either seemed closed or full, so a decent local invited us along to the nearby Bowls Club. I suppose not looking like a hoolie has its advantages. |

I must not have gone to that game, as I don't even remember the fixture.
I remember away at Chesterfield which was where we secured the Championship, and I remember the last game of the season which was a dull draw, but cannot remember ever playing Shrewsbury. :?

I went up to that on the train from London with the SSILA boys. We found a nice little locals pub and I would have been quite happy tp stay there but everyone else seemed to want to go to the game for some reason :roll:
That 10 years has gone far to quickly.

That's the one, it was the most relaxed non-pre season friendly I've ever been to.

ive been supporting the Town for 10 years now, and my God its been a crap ten years! We got one promotion that I hardly knew anything about, and a relegation.
We lost on penalties to fecking Brighton, and our hopes of a trip to Cardiff were dashed by losing to Southend.
We haven't gone on any incredible Cup runs apart from the semis of the Coca-Cola Cup, which again I can't really remember!

I have to be honest here and say that if I was just a young pup, I don't know if I would be supporting STFC. It's only the good stuff up to and including 95-96 that keeps me going. Fair play to anyone who's started following them since then, you must have masochistic tendancies!

I've supported the town since i was 8 (1992) and i have to admit that if it wasn't for the Playoff final game, a season in the Prem, and the Div 2 Championship, its been a bit shit.

I must been very fortunate, having followed the Town since the early 80's so got all the glory years. Even had a run of 7 seasons where I only missed one game and that was the second away game in the Anlgo-Italian Cup.
Seen some good times, some great times and many downright awful ones.

If it wasn't for those pesky play offs last season, the coming season would actually be our official 10th anniversary of being totally dross season. The club could have had special commemorative replica shirts and other items of merchandise made. Shame really.

I've nothing but admiration for the fans who've only seen the relatively thin times in the last 8 or 9 years.
When I started going in 62/63, we got promoted, had a sexy young side and even had TV documentaries made about us.
