The football quality I have seen via internet / streaming only has looked great and a pleasure to watch.
What surprizes me is the ability that Mark Cooper and the backroom staff have in taking unknown loan players from Birmingham and Norwich, getting them to adapt to this style of play within a couple of weeks and performing.
These are young lads are playing with such a desire to make things happen for Swindon...Bloody amazing especially when we had many poor loaning signings previously.
Coops must have the Midas touch ..........

What's with Power these days?
I thought he was limited to 90 days in the UK - seems to be here permanently at the moment.

Finally been able to get on TEF after the weekend.
Well that was quite a game. Good old Swindon though, keeping consistent by letting them back in it.
Looking at the highlights though, if we keep defending like that there is always the chance we won't be in the top 6 in May. It's the brutal honesty. We have so many gaps that are going to be exploited in the new year.
But anyway... I'm looking forward to Fleetwood because what with the STFC-Trust initiatives we should have a good gate. Not to mention Claridge's comments... which were quite nice. Not sure how many fans stay up until gone midnight to watch the STFC highlights but don't already regularly attend. But it's a nice sentiment.
I'm trying to talk a mate into coming, but the conversation always goes:
"Want to come and watch Swindon on Saturday?"
"Yeah, sure. How much is it?"
"It's £23..."
"Oh... I think I'm busy that weekend..."

476 to Peterborough is pretty feeble for a team second in the league. I was hoping we'd have around 1,000 there.

We have had a lot of high away attendances over the last month or two though. The only reason I couldn't go is because of finances. |

We're now approaching the time of year, where attendances traditionally drop off; namely the pre-Christmas period. Historically this used to be mid December, but with the modern trend for business to try and milk the festive period for all it's worth, now begins in mid November. Also historically, you'd get a bumper gate for a Boxing Day fixture....something which no longer applies to STFC, courtesy of the FL vendetta. |

How many years has it been now? Was talking about this injustice with a friend last night, bloody ridiculous we haven't had a game on boxing day for years. |

Yeah, that's a shame. I'm tempted to move my ST into the Town End for the Fleetwood game. I miss it in there! And now there are no cup games for me to go in the TE... Besides, I feel like I am out of place in Arkell's...  |

Yeah... that was the case. This was after the final whistle so I wasn't blocking much. I only waved it about when we scored, when the entire ground joined in on songs or at the start/end so I was hopefully not getting in too many people's way. |
