Did Swansea not win the league in 08 then or am I mistaken?
You're not. But you're mistaken if you think that applies to you, as you didn't win the league. Our ground is going up to 15000, and our average attendance will be up to that in no time.
Wait, so your ground is going to be just slightly larger than ours, and you think another 9000 supporters will just appear out of thin air and magically fill the place match after match? To quote one of my esteemed fellow TEF'ers: Fucking hell.
You're deluded mate.
Oh, and if Eddie Howe is good, Swindon are better, seeing as how he nicks his best players from us. |

When have Muff ever got crowds of 15k? The only Premier League you're likely to see in the next few years in the Blue Square Premier, when your Russian gets bored and you fall down the league as you cannot no longer pay the bills. |

I read the Ritchie article (nothing exciting) and this Bournemouth fan gives a more reasoned view: The key is what happens this summer. The retention of Flahaven and Partington was a jaw dropping decision. The Achilles Heel is the defence which will need special attention. As a BARE MINIMUM, we need a proper centre forward to lead the line, a ball winning midfielder, a central defender, a left back and a goalkeeper. Ideally, we could also use another ball winner, another CD, and another full back. As we always knew, the problem will be to offload the dross when they are still in contract, and we have now retained 2 who were not.
.
If we are able to sign the necessary players, I see no reason why we should not achieve a comfortable mid table position, which brings us back to Mr Demin. We must hope that his bank account remains full and his cheque book functional. This of course assumes he will remain on board. More than once have we heard rumours to the contrary, which combined with his low profile and spasmodic attendance are a little worrying, to say the least.
.
Even with none, or minimal, signings we could still survive, due to first season syndrome, but it would not be easy.
Worth remembering that star striker Brett Pitman couldn't get a look in at bottom of the league Bristol City. You have some good players, Arter, Pugh and Ritchie but nothing to suggest that you will challenge. |

We would have if we weren't 20th when Howe took over. Yes, the people of Dorset are looking forward to entertaining (and beating) the likes of QPR week in week out. We had him on trial before you - he has always stated his love for afcb and just saw you as a stepping stone to greener grass |

Rhys Evans has just moved back to Swindon . . . just a thought . . probably the wrong thought though.

I told you that my sources were reliable. Why would I be here to 'troll'? What have you Swindon folks ever done to me? |

Rhys Evans has moved back for a number of reasons and signing for Swindon is not one, linking up with my current manager to do some seminars and sessions around the area and will be looking for a club |

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if what you say is true. |

To be fair he's not doing a bad trolling job. I wonder if there are AFCB fans that really think like this though.
They reckon they are signing Charlie Austin  |
