This thread has brought a lot of the lurkers, good to see some names we rarely see or I haven't seen before.

🤔 a little bizarrely, there’s another long-standing (dormant) forum member who lived in one of his previous homes…anyone else lived in any famous jockey’s houses? 🐴
The Charlesworth house was the former home of Tony Wilson of Hacienda fame. Nice little cottage that I got from the people he sold it to. According to "24 hour party people", it was there that Ian Curtis stayed in when he was having marital problems. The same bedroom my mate shat in several years later on New Years Day! |

It seems very clear that many long term supporters came from the outskirts of Swindon.
What happens when these links to the club fade and die😞

Oh, alright then... Chalford (22 years), London (6 years), Zurich (the rest). Getting close to half my life spent away from the UK now. I would still say that I am British even though I have both passports. |

I could be wrong, but I imagine a lot of non-Swindon based supporters post on this forum as it's probably the closest thing to actually physically being in the ground/pub with other STFC fans. There are literally thousands of STFC fans that are Swindon or locally based that don't post on internet forums etc, so I wouldn't worry too much about fans links IMHO. |

More like its what happens when a forum with a demographic of middle aged men is considered, people are much more footloose these days. Oh and what Bob's O said! |

OB
Hope you are right and that will secure the future of the Football club.
Would be interesting to know the amount of support that came from the Railway and BMC works.
The last game I attended was at Orient and was really impressed with the support and especially with the amount of middle age 50 to 65 year old supporters that were there. Would be great to encourage all age groups to support the club.
Once Power has gone hopefully the supporters will return in numbers.

There are a lot of 'yoof' that do go. I think there is a decent mix of young and old that do go. |

Too much ‘top level’ football readily available these days.
Don’t think (m)any of the future generations will be hardcore Swindon loyalists. Best we can probably hope for is to be their ‘second team’ and hope they go to a decent amount of games for the ‘live’ experience.
...although nothing changes in the sense that people are more likely to turn up to support a winning team.

Plus, we are getting to the point where the future generations are being fathered by the original Sky 1992 generation of sofa supporters most of whom will pass their allegiances down the family tree I’d have thought
