Crawley Town v Swindon Town pre match chat and matchday thread

[Posh Red]

My bad

No worries, just wondered if I’d missed something saying he was out

[Peter Venkman]

Saying that isnt he on his 9th booking after Tuesday? must be close to a suspension

[Batch]

Yes, 9th

(Reed 7 then Gladwin and Hunt on 4)

[Private Fraser]

Now that we have completed 37 games, it’s 15 yellows (up to the completion of the season excl Play Offs) before a suspension.  The suspension would be 3 games.

[Jimmy HaveHave]

I didn't think Gladwin was quick enough to get booked😀

Hartlepool hitting a bit of form recently

Some cracking away day memories at Hartlepool with the lads.
Used to stay up the weekend and hit Whitley Bay Friday night, go to the game then out in Newcastle.
The locals the best of the bunch, the girls where special.

One night last pub 3 of the lads went swimming, stung by jellyfish, the locals pissing themselves.
DOB as always fell in love with a local
Unbelievable when we all get together as old bastards now and recall the stories.

Once had the whole O’Neills pub outside Newcastle station singing Swindon songs.
That was a Tour from Darlington who were always lunatics and we got lucky that afternoon.

Memories, quieter now.
Mind you staying over at Hartlepool this season with an 18 year old Son.
“Don’t tell yer Mum.” 😇

Got stories that will take to my grave. Best days of my life following Swindon.
Before Christ - Single lad, happy go lucky, up to no good and living life to the full.
After Christ - Settled down and trying to indoctrinate 2 lads into a religion of following the lads.

The memories will last forever, the laughs the stories, just a few:

Car breakdowns
Driving a car down a cobbled street up North
Swimming in canals
Singing with locals on a pub table in Stockport, big lass got up and table broke in half
The make up girls at Darlington
Hair catching fire at Blackpool
Stags head knocking out a Mate.
Fire at Sheffield hotel, mate wearing chefs trousers to the first Premiership away game
Getting bit by a dog at Rochdale.
Vinegar gate at Wrexham with the wasp nest
Lass at Wigan before a semi final play off - Football or a night of fun. Football won.

We’ve done the lot and more. Never hurt anyone only ourselves.
The Crazy Gang no more, all old men now but every now and again you meet up and recall.
 “Remember when.......”

So much quieter now.

You seem to have all the fun up North😀
Great stories, no violence just lads having the craic on tour!

Without a doubt would say 95% up North.
However an away trip to Bournemouth, League Cup First Round, Swindon fans weekend on the beach.
A pitch invasion from the away end to the home end, but the biggest laugh of the day was the Morning on the beach watching the “7th” wave take out the Brother as he disappeared under the sea.
Dried out on the open terrace.

Wimbledon and the infamous wall collapse, Jimmy Allan helping me out of the net.

Newport taken to the Police Van for carrying an offensive weapon, a golf tee.
Thought it was a joke then realised serious. South Wales Police and Yorkshire late 70’s and 80’s were horrendous.

Always preferred the North games the same as the lads holidays, even now.
Lasses up North far more approachable, down to earth and more fun.
Give me a trip to Carlisle over Stevenage any day.

Imagining it'll be

JJ
Hunt JOB Conroy Odimayo
East
Payne Iandolo
Williams Davison Mckirdy

The strongest line up today.
Hope East can do a decent job covering Reed.

Still looks a tasty line up and should be enough to get the win.

Need to get off to a decent start and not chasing the game.
Williams and Payne unlikely to be risked playing 90 minutes therefore can only hope we are looking comfortable.
Egbo and JML therefore more than likely will feature.
Baudry also could have a big part to play.
