The terrace is run by a mate of mine who was many years ago tour manager for Enter Shikari.  He's blotted his copybook in my eyes by taking on the concession at Rovers and banging on constantly about how wonderful they are.  When he's actually a Man United fan.  So Ive had to block his tweets. 

But aside from that he's a thoroughly nice chap and Im glad to see him doing well.

The Club is referring to it as the 1983 shirt, though. The 1983 one was the ISIS one.

I was going by this:

http://www.swindon-town-fc.co.uk/Squad.asp?Season=1985-1986

The Club has now seems to have taken down the Tweet referring to "1983".

No  LLG came in for Macaris first season. That was 84 / 85. The sponsorship deal was on the basis of a 'name'  manager being appointed, so Beamish was kicked and Lou came in.

"County Ground sale 'must protect Swindon Town from unscrupulous owners"

I agree, but that isn't what the article says.

"SWINDON Borough Council should look to buy back the County Ground if a £22.5m plan to transform it hasn't started within three years."

Redeveloping the ground is not the only reason we'd like to buy the freehold. They're two separate matters.

I note it's the party not in power saying this. My guess is just making noise for the sake of it to remind people they're there.

Surely it's positive isn't it? Means that the plans that have/are being drawn up have to be followed through. Kind of like a use it or lose it type thing? It stops the site just becoming a festering White elephant?

That's how I see it at least.

Are the Trust/Club plans to begin redevelopment within 3 years?

Not sure I like pre-conditions like that. Do we definitely have the funds?

But if Clem/Trust are happy then fair enough.

Exactly that, no idea why the Advertiser has even run the story. That really is an absolutely nothing story, the buy back clause is in the contract and discussed in the Committee Report which is being considered at the meeting at 6pm tomorrow. Council website is working again so it can be viewed here https://ww5.swindon.gov.uk/moderngov/ieListDocuments.aspx?CId=285&MId=10465&Ver=4 (Item 12).

Bank supposed to start in 2024 at a cost of £1m, Para 3.11 has a timetable which the JV has provided which the Council can then use to gauge performance, entirely understandable and normal that the Council have sought this.

What are we going to get, realistically, for £1m?  New seats, a few urinals and a roof?  I'm guessing that the existing structure is staying in some form.

Never expected anything different. The Bank will be akin to Pompey’s away end.

you would assume the bank would be given to home or away fans when nationwide gets redeveloped so that our attendances don't get hit as much
