you wouldnt have to wait long to see Swindon do anything again so I'd prefer England to win the world cup. It would bring the country together and make us really arrogant. which is what we deserve. We are an arrogant country waiting to happen. You sure about that? Its now 10 years since we were last promoted and 10 years since we had a decent cup run. One good season in 10 years, and even then it was only 6th. Dont get me started on England or Swindon. You'll all think Im a traitor. |

 According to the convicts,sweaty socks and sheep-shaggers we already are arrogant!  It has to Swindon over england ever time i'm afraid. |

I don't know, I'm quite prepared for us to go down now.
I've seen Swindon have a few good seasons in my time, but never seen England win anything, so as OJ and Reg say it really is a once in a lifetime thing.
If England did win it I'd have something football wise that I could share with my mates too - they certainly aren't interested in Swindon really.
If we did go down things might not be that bad, Grimsby were in a worse situation than us last season finacially, now they're looking strong promotion contenders.
In short I think I'd rather see England win the WC in Germany, because by the time the next WC comes round Swindon may have been promoted back up to this league and may be on a sound footing and challenging for the play-offs again - who knows.
Also that would mean we'd won the Rugby WC, the Ashes and the Football WC inside 3 years!
