HoldenBall Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 Especially when after waving them, the Swindle fans put them on their head's (and suffocate themselves)! That's only if they lose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeh Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 There are trains from Reading and coach services provided from Swindon to Reading which is about 50 mins so hardly a problem ....failing that....drive!there are but they can't cope for more then 2000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slartibartfast Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 Swindon sponsor is Imagine Cruising. Is that anything to do with looking for willing partners outside gentlemen's toilets? Nah, head office is in Manchester Road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slartibartfast Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 You would have to hope that there is the possibility of giving PNE more tickets, although I guess that depends on logistics of the ground and where Swindon have already sold tickets. No need for encroachment, they were both only given 30k each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget Wallsalls attendance, higher than all those three clubs. Not bad for a club who average 4k home gates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WTFiGO!?! Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 Transport issues? Has anyone suggested contacting the Oxford Utd Supporters' Club Chairman to see if he fancies driving some there in a minibus?It's funny because it's true. Amazing that that little shit hole doesn't travel, in a very dry and ironic sense. Is Swindle not a bearer of railway tracks? Have to also say that the pair of Swindonians I have known agree it's a shit hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

City1984 Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 Makes you wonder why they even bother entering the league if they don't care enough to turn up for the biggest game. Couldnt stand the thought of them coming up with us but I'm thinking we could do with a good laugh next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Orns Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 I get it's easy to mock Swindon, but 6pm kick off with no trains, ****** if I'd be dishing out money for that I'd rather watch it with a few mates with a few beers. Wembley is massively overrated, I'd save my money Think it will be a cracker of a game though, will have a few goals I suspect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeh Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 To be honest if it was us in the final with no trains we wouldn't shift 40k we'd struggle to get 30k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin phantom Posted May 20, 2015 Admin Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 To be honest if it was us in the final with no trains we wouldn't shift 40k we'd struggle to get 30k Sorry don't agree - we would sell out if we were there. When we went for the JPT there were diversions etc in place too These two sides don't have great support, but if their respectives towns can't get behind them for this sort of game it says alot about how the locals view them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sixtyseconds Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 So Roundabout FC will take 3/4 times the average gate to Wembley. About the same as City. The Gas however tell everybody their the BEST. The motorway was going to sink under the weight of the pilgrimage. Then go on to let themselves down. Let Bristol down. And let John Cabot and Isambard Kingdom Brunel down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loderingo Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 My Swindon supporting mate offered me a ticket. I politely declined, although I'm going to his pre-match BBQ, where I will try to avoid singing "Flint said no..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobajob Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 Anyone see the article in the WDP regarding Swindon ticket sales for the play off final. 19,000 sold and slowed right up now, many reasons apparently from cost to transport. The way it's going the gas could take more than Swindle to Wembley! Preston doing well with the same cost and transport problems 1200 left for resale tomorrow. Swindon Town Mickey Mouse club Reading the report on Swindon Rag....They had to return all unsold tickets to the FA Wednesday 08:00am Swindon had sold 21,000 ....Preston about the same but Prestons were still on sale today!!!

Up The City! Posted May 21, 2015 Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 I know it's not much excuse but the 6pm ko time is ridiculous.I disagree. I would have loved the JPT final to have been that time kick off. As it was the day seemed to go by too quick and it was a bit of a dissapointment to leave Silverspoons and go to the actual game.

WhistleHappy Posted May 21, 2015 Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 Got to admire Lineker's initiative.... What better way to improve your green credentials than to get 20,000 Swindle fans to recycle all your empty ready salted Walkers crisp packets! ... The mans a genius! Red and White bags on seats, brilliant. Pity he didnt think of it sooner though he could've recycled at least *Forty or Fifty Thousand* of his Cheese and Onion flavour ones at the Non League Play-Off Final... ....

I would have thought, especially with transport problems, that you couldn't get any better KO time! Longer to get there and a bank holiday the next day.

NorthEnd Posted May 21, 2015 Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 I would have thought, especially with transport problems, that you couldn't get any better KO time! Longer to get there and a bank holiday the next day. The kick off time may be perfect if you plan on spending the whole day in a boozer (which I do), but it's ridiculous if you've got young kids. It'll make for a very late night, a couple of people I know have said they'd have taken their family with them if it was earlier. Anyone that supports either side will be there, but the day trippers that usually make up the numbers clearly can't be bothered with the late KO and no trains for either us or Swindon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
