Yes great passionate club Dukey and should really be up there with Southampton but like lots of clubs they've lost their way and have struggled over recent seasons. Back in the day they had a right old mob and were a match for anybody but like all of us they're got older and life has changed for the better.

That 70s football terrace 'smell' - a heady mix of Brut, boiled burgers, cider fumes and fear. The Wolves visit in '78, the KKK hoods, the place was wrecked. 'Wovles was here' daubed by a Black country lysdexic, remained for years.
Unlike the Robins, the Falcons have only ever won a single British championship - led by Ivan Mauger (signed by the ubiquitous Wally Mawdsley from Belle Vue). One of 10,000+ crammed into the old County Ground to see the great man make his debut. Happy days.
Alias Smith and Jones. Two tone trousers aka tonics, ruperts, skinners, brogues and loafers !

Great post and great memories Banker, I can remember wwtching Ivan Mauger & Scott Autrey amongst others at a Packed Abbey Stadium. Walking into the Town end and looking towards the Stratton bank to see how many away fans were there esocually when the place used to echo with Brighton fans singing seashells one the great Pompey chimes.
Going to Carnaby street & Goulston street on a Saturday looking for tonics, stay press & Ben Sherman!

My great memories of the seventies, Wimbledon away in the cup, i was 9. My first experience of the town fans being escorted to the ground from the train station in full voice. 4,000 Swindon fans packed into plough lane.
Then listening to second half commentary of Arsenal v Swindon on radio 2 and listening to that Billy Tucker equaliser.
The replay at the county ground 28,000 fans, the Alan Mayes wonder goal and then winning in extra time.
The high and lows of the semi final against Wolves, beating them at home then losing at Wolves and missing that penalty.
Walking home from junior school in Faringdon and the coaches coming through Faringdon (Rimes of Swindon) on the way to Peterborough.
What a great season to follow the Town !
Peter Eastoe's goal against Everton.
Thoroughly enjoyed the late seventies

Great post and happy memories as the late 70's is the best football era for me especially as I was at Highbury when Billy Tucker scored and bunked off school for the home leg so that we could queue up to get in the Townend. I was also at Plough lane and stood on that steep terrace packed full of Town fans

Who could forget the train special to Wrexham that got there at around half time? |
