Hi everyone - long time reader, first time contributor to the forum here. I'm part of a website/podcast/Twitter page called OptaJoke and I've produced a blog entitled "The eternal frustration of a lower league football fan..." - Being a Swindon fan it somewhat encapsulates our agony (and ecstasy!) of following the team. Feel free to have a read of it at the link below and let me know what you think! http://optajoke.wordpress.com/2011/03/14/the-eternal-frustation-of-a-lower-league-football-fan/Thanks very much. |

Good stuff. Got that Panini album in my loft somewhere. Knew we'd made it when we had the full-works Panini treatment

Thanks for the comments, and glad you liked the stickers...I hunted down the books when I was last back at my parents, so will eventually upload some or all of the individual photos if people wish!!

Nice blog, a good read.
I follow the OptaJoke fake stats on twitter, very amusing they are too.

Good article.
I can certainly relate to the bit about being in a different country and following the team over the internet.

Great to see I've come across someone on here already who follows us there! I'm the guy who comes up with the 'stats'!! Thanks to everyone else I've not thanked for the good comments! |

Without sounding like a prick, and this being an 'other football stuff' part of the forum, I've done another blog if anyone wants to read it...not Swindon based this time, but includes some more classic sticker book pictures - this time on a 'preview' of the Man United team in 1995... http://optajoke.wordpress.com/2011/03/21/optajoke-previews-man-united-1995-96/I'll leave you all in peace for a bit now!! |
