Brentford FC v Swindon Town FC Official Matchday Thread

[RedRag]

I have a few 'lucky' bottles of cider purchased yesterday from the Swindon Cider Company.

Well done my man, I think that could be key.

What times everyone leaving then?

[herthab]

Getting the 11.21 train from Salisbury, which will get me into Brentford just after 1.00. Just want to get going now, it's the waiting that kills you.

Leaving at 1:30 - be in a pub in Ealing at 2:30 - 3 and then a couple of pints before wandering down to the stadium. Given the Brentford fans comments on Swindon and surrounding environs I expect to see neatly mowed lawns, white painted picket fences and fresh laundry hanging on the lines. But having been there a few times I expect to see something similar to Swindon, albeit even more ethnically diverse.
I'm cautiously optimistic which is most unusual for me.
A decent ref and keep Donaldson quiet and we're in with a good chance.

I'm going to stick to my guns seeing as I got the first bit right before.  Draw at ours, do them at theirs.

[Bogus Dave]

Leaving about half three get to TP's for 4ish

[sonicyouth]

Getting the bus at 12.

From Norway? You'll never make it.

I've had a dreadful night's sleep with some very odd Swindon Town related dreams.  I've woken this morning feeling like my throat has razor blades down it.  Part of me just wants to stay in bed and pretend we have no game today.

However, I am going to Brentford, which unfortunately is not a good omen, as my away record is pretty poor.  I can't see us scoring more than one goal, which I don't think will be enough.  Our conceding of late goals in recent matches could be our undoing.  Really not very confident at all in case you hadn't worked that out.

On the other hand, this is the Play Offs and they don't always go to form.

Thanks for the matchday threads this season Shaw Rosso I have enjoyed them hugely.

Todays is the best, it says it exactly as I feel, well done.

Fingers and toes and bollocks crossed for a result today to make sure you get one more matchday thread, but if we don't then its not the end of the world.

Thanks again......really up for the game today and wish I was with the travelling Town fans and not up here in Edinburgh.

C O Y R !!!!

Thanks Peter

I've got to stay sober today as I'm driving to Derby straight after the game, being sober at an away game is crap. 

[Shaw Rosso]

Crumpets with peanut butter? Sounds intriguing.

Yes, no butter though or it all gets a bit sloppy. I will have Bovril on them tonight if we win.

[sonicyouth]

From Norway? You'll never make it.

I'll make it.

To the pub.
