..when you first saw Swindon play?
I'm asking because there is a bloke that sits near me who brings his kids,and i keep on telling him i'm going to report him to the NSPCC Smiley  Wink .Personally i was about 12 on the momentous day when my dad said to my brother and me"Lets go to a football game".But living in the Didcot triangle meant we were able to make a choice between three teams,and both the pox and reading had cow shed grounds so we went to Swindon Cheesy .And hand on heart i've never been regretful of the decision  to go and watch Swindon.

November 1990: Swindon Town 1-2 Port Vale (WEIRD)

So I was just turned 6 years old.

My dad took me... He doesn't go to Swindon anymore... Damn Chippenham Town.

I was 9, and it was 1988. Can't remember who it was against. Sat in the north stand. We lost.

Was that a 2-1 loss against Watford 90/91?

Because I went to that ... I swear that was his first game.

Jimmy Allen's testimonial v Chelsea 1986, so I was 9, we lost 3-2 (I think) all I remember is how big the north stand was and David Speedie was playing for them.

1988 I was 11 or twelve and we beat Brighton 3-0. I was hooked from then on. Happy days. Used to stand in the South Side, fucking great fun, right at the fence giving the aways fans grief.
