As it seems unlikely that Andy Partridge will appear at the County Ground extravaganza, you can all rest easy.

EXTC are playing in Bath on Monday!!!!

Wonder if Callum Rice might be drafted in to offer expertise.

Muller Rice would have better contacts

We've literally never recovered from this moment. 10 years spent like Uma Thurman in Kill Bill: In a coma whilst getting f***ed every day by the people supposed to be looking after us.

Who was the fourth fella there, obviously Rice, McCrory and Murrall? (that rarest of things, an STFC owner to actually end up in clink rather than just deserving to)

[Mooneyraker]

Gary Hooper.

Muller Rice would have better contacts

That kind of goes without saying given Muller are a global company and Callum is a random bloke from Leeds who owns a hotel in Lincolnshire - but I do get where you are coming from

The darkest of days. Forgot that Nick Watkins stuck around... can't have been for long!

Sir William Patey, outgoing Chairman said: “Andrew Black and the outgoing Board leave Swindon as leaders of League One, with a good chance of back to back promotions to the Championship. The quality of our squad is the legacy of the very considerable investment that has been made, and I believe the benefits of this will continue to be enjoyed by fans for seasons to come.

Yeah that erm... hasn't aged spectacularly.

Since Jed and co rode into town it's really been a shit-show of owners, criminals and chancers running the club. The only thing that's really changed is a lick of paint on the CG and a weekly lottery. We've absolutely stagnated off the field and until owners that have a long-term viable plan and some wonga behind it, it's likely to be more of the same I imagine.

But we know this already. Not sure where I read it but Carlisle completed their takeover yesterday and their owners seem to have a plan of action - Training Ground investment - Ground investment and investment in the playing squad to make it competitive in league 1. We're surely a better long term investment than Carlisle - no offence to them.

The ground ownership is, to be fair, a fundamental change. But it's not much to show for a decade, and is almost entirely down to luck rather than judgement on the part of consecutive owners.

Nothing to do with any of the owners, despite what Clem Jong Un says.

And the benefits/pitfalls of the structure of that deal will not be known until the next turn of the ownership handle.
