There are some faithful, for whom being an STFC fan is more a way of life, the relative merits of the result, or the formation played, just a sideshow in the bigger picture.
An endangered species for sure....

Sad to see the tittle-tattle about players' private lives creeps in even on this worthy site:
[url width=500 height=751]http://www.swindon-town-fc.co.uk/footprint/images/Pictures/Lies/GeorgesChild_large.jpg[/url]
(Only joking, it's an excellent site, well-researched and well worth a look)

...They decided to call it the Swindon Association Football Club, but they found the name rather a mouthful to shout out, so they changed the name to the Spartans. Doesn't this sound a good deal better than the Robins? Genuine club history, no confusion with Brizzle/Cheltnumb, and what use is a nickname that no fan ever uses? Of course, would involve a slight redesign of the club badge... |

Pfft, like the station announcer tells you about things like changes, he's too concerned about the buffet service. Which isn't even a buffet as you have to pay per item. Bastard. Also, obvious 300 reference for the Spartans, get with the yoof culture already. |
