Whats wrong with football?

[suttonred]

Wouldn't mind seeing the figures from the 70's and early 80's they would be off the scale. Doubt they would exist though.

An interesting read over breakfast.  Good to see that our 'newbie' figure for the last year (Table 2) was low.  I take it the Newcastle figure was so high because of the 'horse punching' fracas after the Sunderland game.

Do Stoke play several matches on Nov 5th??

Looking at those figures Crawley v Franchise must be the most insipid encounter.

Not one arrest between them all season - not even a booze related offence entering the ground, which must be a prerequisite for watching Creepies surely.

Good to see we had the only person arrested in L1 for racist/indecent chanting... 

[kerry red]

Let's hope it was indecent.

Got to say, though, after over 40 years following Swindon I honestly cannot bring to mind anything remotely racist

My fav indecent chanting was away at Oxford when that fella proposed to his girlfriend in the centre circle at half time to the accompaniment from the Town fans

'Does she take it up the arse?'

You must have had earphones in Aud, I  remember hearing quite vocal chanting in the early 90's, pleased that it's a thing of the past.

Maybe I just filtered it out.

That and a bit of Alzheimers

I've heard plenty of racist comments at football in the past decade

Me too and not just from the "older" generation of supporters.

I bet I know a certain ex-lying chairman who would be first in the queue with his £1

The Premiership season was fucking awful from what I remember. The whole bottom left (looking at the pitch) corner of the bank was dominated by a right odious bunch of cunts that were positively delighted by the fact that we didn't have any black players at the time, and spent half of every game letting the opposition fans know that "Swindon were (are) White", as well as giving dog's abuse to any black opposition players.

I kind of shuffled about uncomfortably along with everybody else for ages until they finally pushed me over the edge one game and I ended up screaming at them to shut the fuck up.

There was a guy doing monkey chants in the Town End sometime in the last 3 or 4 seasons. He only lasted 2 games then never saw him again. Absolute cunt.

You can't just leave it there Dalai Lama, what happened then??

Sadly I remember dozens of Town fans making monkey noises to Luther Blissett when we played Bournemouth in 1990.

Thankfully I just can't imagine anything like that ever happening again.
