30k for a Woking player is still something 90% of League clubs would not do, its not like a Theo Robinson situation, who would have been taken on my most lower league clubs.
I think the real story there is the comments underneath and the support that Danny Wilson is getting. He's winning Swindon fans over, you can feel the groundswell of support around the club. Everyone pulling in the right direction.
Bearing in mind Woking are only 3 levels below us and near the top of their league, £30k seems pretty fair and maybe a bit cheap - dependent upon the terms and any add ons of course. Sounds like our scouting network is working well, I'd imagine we'd been looking at him before the cup game the same as we'd been looking at Austin.
I wonder how much Byrne is involved in recruiting players like Arter? If he is picking up on a couple of good players a year he'll be more than earning his money. I still think Fitton needs to be flashing the cheque book to sign Ferry permanently, even if it costs us Morrison or £500k - it would still be a bargain buy. If that was all we did in January I'd be over the moon.
You're right about the groundswell of support. I lost interest in the club during McMahon's spell after being a regular since the days of Macari, and I can't remember the last time I felt this positive about things - though it was probably when Gorman was in charge.
