From the station at Colchester
To the cells of Warrington
From the services at Leicester
To the slums of Northampton
We travel over England
And one day Europe too
Cos we all follow the Swindon
We're the famous Town End crew.

interesting read, but surely nobody is dumb enough to be that close to a massive bet... that aside, it's all a bit odd |

At a guess, it's £12m a year business. It's understandable, therefore, to have a workforce of 75-100, including casuals on the hospitality side of the business. |
