This is the problem for me: When we win I'm all aboard the avuncular Aussie Express train calling all stops to the Championship. When we lose I enter a doom spiral of dark thoughts concerning Michael Standing/Zav Austin/Adam Hart et al...
The sense that the Sword of Damocles hangs above us just never quite goes away.
I know that shouldn't be results based but the dawning realisation that we are in L2 next year is just depressing, and I'd much rather be in L1 with a division's buffer between us and oblivion in the even that the balloon goes up with the current regime...

I think others and Rob have already answered this but essentially revenue owed to us from player sales in the future have been paid to us now through this finance agreement, the same premier league clubs do related to getting access to TV money early. Pretty standard arrangement, money will no doubt be used to plug 500k loss this season and for player recruitment
Is this not a risk as it means that money that was due at a later date is now not going to be coming in and it has been taken now, so there is no money coming in from 'other' sources at a later date so we are left relying on the standard income. Not sure if this is a good or bad thing bringing the money forward. |

Robbing Peter to pay Paul. Can only guess either we are desperate for it now, or it can be used better now and we'll have other things financially in place later (unless we are brushing it under the carpet for now). Surely nobody borrows at circa 8% if they have enough in reserve. |

Imagine where we could have been if they announced signings and managers the same week as every other outlet.

Definitely a step in the right direction. I still think BBC Wilts is a channel they are ignoring for fan phone ins etc. It has the best reach. Most Swindon fans aren't obsessively living on social media.

I've become a creature of habit. Since the club went in house with youtube I don't listen to the post match interview as much as I used to with "talk of the town" Definitely a me problem. |

I mean more as a platform for Aberdeen etc to do Q&As rather than chatting to people on the TSTBL

On the other hand some of us live outside the reach of BBC Wilts |
