Hardly any. Which some one, who must have been a Town fan (of the Swindon variety) did point out. But their response was that it was a mid-week game and if the roles had been reversed and the game had been at Swindon today, they would have brought a thousand.
Good for them. Do they think we actually care or something because I sure as hell don't. 5 points ahead of them. I care about that.

I remember seeing alot of Huddersfield fans get wet on the stratton bank when we beat them 6-0 in 1996/7. Peter Thorne hat-trick.
It may be a cheap shot but I feel better for saying it

If Huddersfield was a few miles down the road we'd have taken more i.e. what a load of hypothetical nonsense.
So it's a midweek game? People can take days off at work. The fixture list gets released early enough to forward plan.

Oh let the ferret buggerers take the moral high ground on fans and we'll just take 4 points out of 6 and a play off position. If they are that high and mighty and given the money they've forked out then they should be doing a lot better than a supposed pile of shit like us. Its a nicer feeling to overavhieve than underachieve.

I was thinking about our achievements this year. Of course when Danny said we'd be in the play offs at the end of the season none of us really beleived him. He's done a great job.
I can't say I blame the lack of fans at away games, with the way things are in the financial world people are having to be more careful - people are picking and chosing more than they used to. That said, we do deserve a better home support, a season ticket can be had for the price of 3 or 4 away days out.

To be honest, we were relieved that Swindon made 400 up there today.
What were they saying about our support? Im not suprised other teams have started having a go, because our away support is shite for a team in the top 6.

Football is entertainment, fans don't have to go if they don't want to. The days of cheap trains and matchday tickets are long, long, long gone. For example, I don't live too far away from Leeds yet the trip to Elland Road will probably be a £100+ day. I think people will sacrifice some awaydays to take in others. Fair play to those who went today.
We're a small club within the Sky Sports generation: It will only get consistantly good again if we go up into the Championship.

I refuse to take any advice on support from a set of fans that have to wait for the drummer to start a song.... Shoot the drummer shoot shoot the drummer.... I fucking hate drums at football

I think expectation has a lot to do with it. Many of our fans are still pinching themselves that we are in the playoff places and also, are suprised we have achieved some great results against the bigger teams in the division that a lot felt would win this league at a canter.
I can't help thinking that many are still pessimistic about Swindon and to get better attendances and prove our worth, we need to be at that play off final, or better so, get promoted to the Championship. That in my opinion is the only thing that will get many to come back and realise that Swindon are on the up.
Its a shame, but until many see significant progress and prove that we aren't the "same old Swindon" I can't see much changing.

It comes as no surprise really when most are likely saving their money for trips to the likes of orient,southampton (new ground) and leeds,at the end of the day who gives a fuck what they think,It's just sour grapes from them because they could't beat us.
I thought leeds fan's was bad enough,It must be something in the water oop there.
