Swindon Town v Salford City pre match chat and matchday thread

[Jimmy StoppedMoaning]

I must admit, I’m considering the genuine crowd, not the one reported if they include non attending season ticket holders. I know several who won’t be there due to holidays etc.

I've predicted around 8,200-8,500 allowing for around 500 season ticket holders not turning up so it will be interesting to see what the official crowd is.

I think they count all ST’s whether they turn up or not

You're right they do so wouldn't be surprised if the official figure is around 9,000 but with plenty of empty seats visible.

Got my ticket before the Harrogate horror show.

Hoping for a win, a draw wouldn't be the end of the world.

Going for a 2-1 win. MacDonald and Mckirdy goals. 8800 attendance.

Going today… not very hopeful but hoping for a positive performance at least. Does anyone know what time the cricket ground car park is open from? I like parking there for a quick getaway and don’t know the area that well (Kent based supporter)

Interesting! What are your ties to the area? I think an improved performance today is a must for me, more so than the result.

I thought we played quite well, Reed aside, until Harrogate scored but then became disorganised and fell apart. Hopefully, the new players will gel better so optimistically going for a battling 2-1 win. Hope to see Khan get 90 minutes, looked very good in his cameo

It feels like this game is unexpectedly huge for the atmosphere Round the club. I'm feeling confident, oddly. Come on you mighty Reds.

Thank you Sir!

I'm going with last week was a wake up call to the squad, Reed will have watched his performance back and will want to put it right, I've said it plenty before but he's our best player and if he plays well we'll look so much better. 

Harry will thrive coming back to the CG and there being buzz around the place when he get's a chance to run at the Salford defence, MacDonald will be much more settled and hopefully his experience and quality will show.

Just hope the apparent negativity isn't a majority and the atmosphere is positive overall.  Port Vale was kick in the gut but I was so happy to be there as the atmosphere we generated for the full 120+ minutes was special.

3-1 Town

[Pericardinho]

I'm still not over Vale away. Agreed the atmosphere was class, if Davisons pen had gone in, it would've been some scenes.

Motorway was heavy going I had to make my way through a load of roadworks in Swindon.  Hopefully the pedestrian routes around the bus station are ok.

Khan and Wakeling start in place of Williams and Adeloye

Meh,

Is Harries left footed? Genuine Q
