So what if they travel in on the day? Not like they're having to jog there, can even have a kip on the way.

You are 100% right in what you say in that it's a pointless game and therefore who cares.
Where does the line stop though?
Lets go on the piss this week, we aren't going up or down for example.
Its just about setting the standards, and if Morris is to be believed this decision was made before he came - while we were still in the playoff mix. Not to say it wouldn't have been overturned if something had been riding on it though, as Dave said.
But at the end of the day the club seems to have many many problems right now, and this is well down the list of problems.
I think this is probably realistically the case. Let's not stay overnight for this game, save a few quid, however if there is something riding on the game let's make a different judgement call.

There needs to be a few changes in and around the club before I buy mine. I was told weeks and weeks ago he had gone, but I won’t be buying one until the club confirm Sandro isn’t in charge of recruitment.

That said if we are talking 15 rooms in a travelodge its what, £750 for 15 rooms. Easier to book and cancel? I'm labouring the point. Far more important things to discuss - though finances are a massive part. As per Quag's posts for a start.

Not a dig at you Quaggy, but didn't you also say we'd be announcing Austin has signed a new contract as well a few weeks back? Your sauce needs questioning I reckon  Also, Sandro has appeared in the padded seats area with Zav and AN Other at a recent home game suggesting he is very much still about.

Yep, that’s genuinely done as far as I’m aware. So again, not sure what the hold up is. It’s all very STFC. I mean, the fact they’ve buried the Zav no longer being vice chairman news in the advisory board notes, rather than making a statement seems strange to me.

I mean you would have thought that Charlie Austin signing a new contract would have been the perfect opportunity to market season tickets, perhaps they have more than 1 iron in the fire, but isn't the early bird ending tomorrow?

Context is really important here as you say. We're analysing a statement made in a press conference that presumably was taken verbatim.
You bloody posted it, ya bleedin' troublemaker  If you've watched the presser where he mentions it, it really is a passing statement and there's no cause for people to be saying he's being a cunt or acting like he's entitled. He's just highlighted it as not being best for preparation. Which, in essence...he is correct to state Hope you're well matey

I think it is tomorrow isn't it for early bird Is it me, out has there been very little push from the club on this? on social media anyway. I admit I think I've opted out marketing so don't get the emails everyone else seems to. edit https://www.swindontownfc.co.uk/news/2023/march/2324-season-ticket-pricing/actually might be today "Early Bird (Available until Saturday 29 April):"

We came across the team bus in the docklands the day before
How you get your kicks is your business. Wasn't expecting it to be shared on the TEF

I find that really odd .
I've finally found the optimistic bone in my little finger. Maybe there are moves afoot to make changes that means promotion will have a chance.
that or we are a complete mess
