Cheers guys!  For some kind of strange reason thetownend.com has not been on my radar, so therefore I only registered here today! I have always been at the thisisstfc.co.uk forum (as "norwegian"), but that forum is kinda slow - and it sure looks like this forum is way better - so I'd better stick to this! Maybe next season our Swindon Town fanpage in norwegian can have a local correspondant from thetownend.com as well!  I know Bernt probably is active on this forum, or at least he's a member - but I am not quite sure what his nickname is! I remember in 93/94 Bernt and I spend new years eve in Swindon at the pub called "The Glue Pot" with some Swindon Town-fans original based in London. I think they were members of the SSILA (do they still exsist?) A great night with darts and beer! |

There will be no official STFC merchandise at Wembley Stadium but there will be an awful lot of other merchandise for you to collect.

I think its great to have a Norwegian branch of STFC. Even better the fact that they have stuck with us through our decline Premiership->division 4. And fantastic they are making the trip over for the game too.
Nice one.

Still around NR, there are a few on here that post, nearly all of them/us are at Wembley saturday, look out for the London reds flag, you may see some faces you know. If you are hanging around after, i'll be able to confirm where we are heading after the game shortly. |

Cheers, SuttonRed. That would be great. We will stay in London after the game, we have booked hotel at Heathrow and the plane leaves 07 sunday morning back home to Norway - so there will probably be little sleep!!  |

When I was stewarding at the County Ground we had a group of about 12 Norwegians come over for a game, either Premier League or 1st Division as it was then, most became fans due to Jan Age Fjortoft playing for us at the time.
Great bunch of drunken lads....loved the laugh they had....were you one of them NorwayRed by any chance?
