Chippenham is looking a good bet in respects to my previous post, plus they dont have a league club so not affected by football league rules. Stadium close to the M4 would be my guess. I certainly wouldnt have problem travelling to there for Swindon games. Even more happy with it as Swindon Council will get fuck all from it!  |

On the ground share front it could only really be a Rugby club as there is no point moving in with another football team. Gloucester or Bath. A shared football/rugby Stadium half way between Bath and Swindon??? aren't Bath planning to redevelop the rec though? Possibly, but there isnt much room to develop there either as its right in the centre of town and restrcted space on two sides of the current ground (sound familiar???) |

It will always be STFC. but remember a huge proportion of our fans come from outside of Swindon (Chippenham, Malmesbury, even alot of places in Ox***dshire) Alot of the poulation of Swindon arent from here originally and couldnt give a toss about the club.

Unfortunately what SBC get from it is a chunk of land they can sell off for development......Thamesdown Transport will probably lay on subsidised buses to The Madejski from the car park. |

Isnt there an old covenant on the land saying it can only be used for sporting uses anyway??? which could be part ofr the reason that the redevelopment of the CG idea has been scuppered. |

Covenants although inconvenient can be bought out. The reason the scheme is a no go is that the club is skint.... and wants something that it can't pay for....its a sort of Catch 22. Next phase will be to see what Plan B is......I doubt there is one and fully expect to see the plug pulled before the end of the season. |

Has to be Bassett way or towards Highworth surely? Would STFC really move as far as Chippenham? bath Ruggers could move down this way. Isn't a London Rugby club (is it Irish?) play at Reading?

They obviously have a plan B -- unless Devlin was lying, which I doubt. Would be a silly thing to do in these circumstances. |
