Sounds positive. Small gains and all that.

That’s some serious looking kit.

[Bob's Orange]

That’s some serious looking kit.

Coupled with (what I assume are) excellent knowledgeable staff to boot.

Well, there’s something going on at the club for sure.

Everything seems a positive. As with everything, it all has to be translated to success on the pitch.

According to the Adver we lost 1-0 to Salford last week - what did I miss?

That Adver article is dated 26 August.

According to the Adver we lost 1-0 to Salford last week - what did I miss?

Your appointment with Specsavers evidently.

'With an extremely short pre-season in the bank, Town appeared to stutter slightly against Salford City last Saturday before recovering to dig out a 1-0 victory, mostly through sheer determination and an extraordinary level of early fitness'

As per Private Fraser, its an aged article.

Can someone please copy and paste 'Clems column' from the Advert?

SWINDON Town Football Club’s owner and chairman, Clem Morfuni, pens his first bi-weekly column for Adver Sport - starting with an update on his first few weeks back in Australia.

Hello everyone. It is great to be able to write to you on a regular basis about all things STFC, and it is a brilliant way for me to stay in touch while I am on the other side of the world.

I have been back home in Australia for a few weeks now and I am finally out of quarantine, which is great because hotel life is not all it is hyped up to be!

However, it has been a really productive few weeks in terms of club meetings and the progress we continue to make in getting our great football club back on track.

Progress continues to be made on a number of fronts, and I’ve had a great deal of positive meetings with all members of staff as everyone continues to work incredibly hard to get this club back on track.

Your football club is in really good hands with all members of the team incredibly passionate about the work they are doing, we are building something really special at The County Ground.

I really miss being in Swindon and being around the team and all of the fans, and I miss the buzz that comes with a match day - it isn’t the same watching on a screen in the early hours of the morning!

However, the one consolation has been the positive results that have been earned by Ben Garner and the team.

I can assure you that I was celebrating as hard as the rest of you in the wake of our superb win over Bristol Rovers on Saturday.

We have another big week coming up with our game against Forest Green Rovers on Sky on Saturday, and another positive result will put us in a great position with games now coming thick and fast.

This is a really positive time for the football club, I am in constant discussions with everyone at the club on a daily basis and I can assure you that we are heading in the right direction.

Please keep supporting us as you have been, I’ll be pushing us to break the 10,000 crowd target for the games against Rochdale on Saturday, October 16 and Bradford on Saturday, October 23, and I can’t wait to see you all properly again once I return around Christmas-January time.

Incidentally, my friend (genuinly!) that requested a refund on last seasons ST got an email yesterday regarding refunds, really re-presenting the question - are you sure you want a refund?

Wasn't sure if this was a sign of prudent control of liabilities, or whether more people requested a refund than predicted.

No judgements or anything from me - has the refund % been stated anywhere?

[Shrivvy Road]

I heard it was around 200 people
