Long ball??!!?!?!?!
Fuck off. They obviously didnt get enough of a football lesson last time we met............
It didn't help that we had 10 men for most of the game. |

Why is it nervy? We are a good side, had a cracking season, and will finish 7th at worst. (which we wont) Sit back, relax and enjoy the ride. God knows we've waited long enough.
That's more like it..better than that spineless wanker Pullen.."ooooh, I don't fancy our chances at Colchester, oooh, I don't fancy our chances at Leeds, oooh, I don't think I'd better go out now, it's raining a bit, I might get my hair wet" It's time for the players and fans to show they've got bollocks the size of footballs. Let's fucking go for it! ..only joking Rich...I don't really think you're spineless...  |

Bang on. To put it in terms the Leeds bottlers might recognise "We're living the dream". Difference is, we can afford it. |

If we turn them over at Elland Road, I will buy you all a pint.
Well maybe. Thats abit extreme but I will be immensely happy.
Who's coming to Elland Road for the six point party  Oh, and the Den to keep the Wall out the playoffs.  |

Another 20 points from 15 games should definitely see us into the play offs, so 5 wins and 5 draws would be enough. Depends if we are happy to settle for the play offs, get there and fancy our chances over 2 legs or do we want to really go for one of the auto places. That maybe means pushing for wins in games when we're level or do you settle for a point. 0-0 at Elland Road with 10 to go, what do you do?. I remember in 1993, Hoddle eased the foot off the gas and settled for the play off places and let West Ham in for the auto place (Pompey still hate us for losing at home to West Ham on TV that year) so we got there comfortably, rested a few players towards the last couple of games and then you go again Can't help but think back to what a Bristol City fan I know said that Wilson is naturally cautious and will always just miss out rather than gamble. I did kindly remind him that if he wanted any advice on winning Wembley play off finals then Swindon would be happy to offer advice. |

Reading a few other forums Norwich fans are also worried about is.

Good point. Why, when we're playing the best football I've seen from a Town side for fucking years, are we still struggling to get 7,000? The years of neglect and mismanagement are going to take a long time to turn around. And "long ball"?!? Clearly written by someone who hasn't seen us play this season. |

Are we missing a generation at the CG? Could it be that all lower league clubs are suffering the armchair supporter? The support (in fan base terms) is there, they just don't appear at the CG week in week out. I'm not from Swindon and have never lived there, stopped going for 7 or 8 years up to 2006 but am hooked again. They'll come back.

I hope you're right. Like I said in another thread, I was pleased to see so many kids in the family section on Saturday - hopefully the combination of attractive football and a successful team will get more people coming back.I just hope AF and DW stick around long enough to make it happen. |

Theres a group of kitchen fitters who come in at work. They live in places like Gorse Hill, Eldene, Westlea etc, none of them go to watch Swindon and usually they ask me about STFC. But I noticed on wednesday about 8 of them all started talking about it without me, saying how good the team looked and how they could pip Leeds for the automatic place. Seemed pretty excited by it as well.
They probably work about 65 hours a week (including travel), and some of them have young families. In the past, I think it was more acceptable for men to work long hours and then go out for football as well. Whereas now the woman has a job, and want the men to stay at home/go shopping on saturday.
Men cant just do what they want anymore.

Surely it would be easier just to buy them from a sports retailer? |
