underhanded Posted February 5, 2021 Report Share Posted February 5, 2021 Hope they survive.

I wouldn't wish them to lose their club. Just relegation to non-league would do for me, and take Rovers with them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weepywall Posted February 5, 2021 Report Share Posted February 5, 2021 Wouldn't shed a tear if Swindon went bust but probably wouldn't wish it on them, it would be a different story if it was Wally's bunch of jesters, it would be tears of joy if they went bust, us with long memories can remember how they behaved in 1982.

Ska Junkie Posted February 5, 2021 Report Share Posted February 5, 2021 Did they care in '82? I somehow doubt it. What goes around comes around and it's not like they haven't been here before. Don't want to see any club go bust but if someone had to go, Swindon would be near the top of my list if I had to choose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
