How are they going to afford to redevelop the ground?
They never will. |

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.

I see the club have started a gofundme to raise money for a sensory room.
A sensory room is a great idea, but is this not something the club should be paying for?
How are they going to afford to redevelop the ground?
5k is a lot of money to find. They can't even sort a fucking bike rack efficiently so how do you expect them to be competent in something that would be tremendous help to a number of our more vulnerable fans. |

Bike racks are incredibly hard to source, extremely expensive, and notoriously difficult to position when you have a huge amount of external wall space and paved areas.

I mean, look, it took me well over 30 seconds to find this - 30 seconds! Time isn't free you know. https://www.thebikestoragecompany.co.uk/product/floor-mounted-cycle-rack/Then you'd need to secure it to the floor, I mean, where do you even find such things? https://www.thebikestoragecompany.co.uk/product/secure-cycle-ground-anchor/The club would have been bled dry by such a project, having to divert countless employee's to sourcing, purchasing, construction and then ongoing maintenance. |

They'll probably eventually put it slap bang in that perma-puddle outside the corner of TE and DRS |

Surely just take two ''matchday guests'' off the VIP Hospitality list and voila, c5k off the misc. account and into the ''Charitable Projects''. Bleddy GoFundMe...it's fecking nominal. The thing is, they would get the funding probably via community grants/funding if they partnered with STFC FiTC. Mind you, Clem would then parade it as if he had personally gifted the sensory room to the fans that used it. Would probably raise the price of Disabled STs in the same year too  #AndItAllWasBullshit |

Have they started the Klama application yet? ------------------ wonder if we will be able to pay for season tickets but credit card this year? or if the historic debt credit damage story will be trotted out again |

I donated to the sensory room crowdfunder because I think it could be great but I think, on face value, it's really shameful that club employees have to do this and I dare say a month ago the reaction would have been far more heated.
The CG has been away from council ownership for less than a year and they're already going straight to the fans for assistance. Not co-ordinated via the fan groups, straight to the fans. Doesn't seem right to me.
Perhaps if it succeeds then this will become a regular endeavour? Then you'll see the bike rack installed.
Inevitably, there will be an excruciating attempt of an explanation which some will accept, others won't whilst the rest will continue to live their joyously apathy-fuelled STFC supporting lives.
Sunrise/sunset.
EDIT: ...and to add, if this was a case of it being more of a passion project that the club won't fund due to priorities elsewhere then that still needs to be communicated.

Apparently the kit for next season has been leaked...
Said to reflect the open and transparent image of the club, although it's rumoured the owner thinks it says "I'm Perfect"

This is key for me, then they expect us to believe there are plans to redevelop the ground. Magic beans is it? |

The hoardings above the club shop fell off over a month ago and haven't been replaced. Undersoil heating is being considered mind  2 days until the accounts are due..  |
