I know a lot on here don't give a flying fcuk about the happenings down the A420, but my brother is married to an Oxford girl whose dad is quite close to the club.
Had a bit of a family get together yesterday and he was saying the real reason we got so few tickets for the game was because, as they sold the home tickets well in advance to get the income in, they decided to give 2000 more tickets for home fans solely to get that much extra income in early rather than waiting til last week when we sold our allocation.
He reckons things are really tight down there, much more so than anyone really knows. Apparently the rent the club are being charged my Kassam is ruining them.

There seems to be some seriously fcuked up people over there. They are consumed by, and almost defined as a person by, a hatred of everything Swindon.
Smacks so much of an inferiority complex - but I suppose spending the last 30 years on a downward spiral does that to a person

maybe we're not so fucked when we can temporarily loan one of our cast offs to a tinpot pile of shite and get their fans to pick up the tab. |

With decent season ticket sales, gates, FA Cup run and a Wembley final, I think we can keep the wolves from the door. Even if we don't gp up i can see season ticket sales over 5k again. |
