I would be concerned if investment would only come following a change of club colours.

Although even they made the cock up to play in white at Wembley. |

Rebranding to appeal to the Asian fanbase? What about the local fanbase? Oh yes, they don't matter anymore.
If ever there was proof needed that money is the lord and master of Football, here it is. I guess they're lucky that the whole club isn't moving to Asia, a la Franchise.

A hell of a lot of the local potential fanbase is Asian. |

They'll be wanting every player to have the number 8 on their backs too.

I'm not convinced that's what he meant when he said it. I'm convinced that he's trying to follow Man U and Chelski, etc |

That could well be a groundhog. I have no idea what they look like, it sounds like a mythical beast not a real animal.

But we haven't always wore red? We originally wore white?
We've wore red from 1904/05, surely that's enough? |

To me all that matters is we are Swindon and I want to see us at the highest level. I wouldn't want all the baggage that comes with foreign owners etc and I wouldnt swap our board. I guess my point was that the standard we play at, the teams we play and the grounds we go to matter more to me than the colour of our shirt. But i know most people dont share that opinion and i fully understand why. |

I understand why. My preference differs. Premiership football is more important to me than the colour of the shirt. But I can appreciate most care more about the colour and history and that's fine. I shall take my difference of opinion and be gone.

I think I might buy Oxford and make them play in some horrendous Lilac and Pink number.
