Pre match less than enigmatic ale selection in Captain Ridley's Shooting Party.
Also a distinct lack of hydration outlets in Bletchley. What do the locals do here, how do they survive.
Stay in the spoons or be reduced to trying to get signed into the Conservative Club down the road or a 15 min walk to The Chequers in Fenny Stratford. A 30 min walk to the soulless bowl with the padded seats either way. Will be glad to get back to civilization this evening.
At least today's visit doesn't coincide with a drum and bass all dayer in the arena. Just what the headache needed at the time.
Got to be envious of clubs who have the opportunity to greatly increase non matchday income, eh.
Must admit to having doubts about Holloway when appointed and wasn't overly keen on the bloke anyway. But minds can be changed and the last couple of games have been enjoyable.
Certainly no cryptanalysis required with Holloway is there. Have we ever had a more enthusiastic manager? Hope he doesn't explode.
Big test today, first league game in charge and it's away to the biggest club in the division (based in a retail park category). Massive. A defeat would be no surprise, almost expected even, but hoping that we can trump the faux Dons or at least give them a few problems to solve.
Couldn't really see a way forward under Kennedy. Can see the potential for improvement with Holloway though.
A miraculous transformation from sorry looking concrete cows to finest Wagyu beef on the hoof?
Maybe just the start of a journey to make Swindon great again. More likely a case of pull the udder one as some of the obstacles look insurmountable at the moment. We shall see.

A lovely write up as always Bob! I do agree on Holloway, he has this infectious enthusiasm about him, which could always make it worse if this high comes tumbling all the way down again! But at least we finally have a little bit of positivity around after 2 back to back wins. I live in the Toon so won’t be making the game today, but I’ll be firing up the dodgy stick for the first time in a while and give a watch!

Great read as always Bob. Allegedly there is a decent boozer in a park somewhere between Bletchley train station and the ground. Thats unconfirmed however. Last year the wife drove and went shopping. Pre-match was bang bang cauliflower and a few beers. Can't be bothered this year. Undecided as to whether we win 2-1 or lose 3-0

I think we’ll lose by one goal but play well.

Good to see Delaney and Wright finally start together. Not sure I agree with much of the rest but we'll see.

Is that a 433?
Odd neither Mc’s are starting but hey at least with Holloway I have a little faith he’s at least based his selection on something he has or hasn’t seen in training rather than just randomly picked players

Jesus christ, what is he doing? No McGregor, no McGurk, no Glatzel, no Ofoborh.

Definately surprised to not see Ofoborh and McGregor in the line up, would have liked to see Glatz and McGurk too but Ollie must have a game plan.
