It makes me doubly grateful that we have a decent owner in charge of us at BS3. Good post and spot on with what you have written. We have a crook in charge who dosen't give a sh*t about the club and will send us out of business before he sells up 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea at the moment as we thought he had sold his share but the problem is he has so much debt rumoured to be 13 million and court cases pending its hard to know. https://theswindonian.co.uk/sport/stfc/power-to-sell-club-to-clem-morfuni/?fbclid=IwAR3vLVkD3_GuOP_XdPODpbbIXU5XGWmc_FpOE3X5FQ9M60b0W_RspRjNEzE t Edited June 25, 2021 by Shaun Taylor 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Italians thought that was unfair and launched the Anglo-Italian cup as a result - which the Italians took seriously but the English didn’t. If I remember correctly, in one game Swindon were beating Napoli 3-0 and the game had to be abandoned because the Italians rioted and destroyed their own stadium…?!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was too young to remember 1969 /70 but that was the days when football was a level playing field financially and even in the old division 3 we were getting over 20000 for league games as football had really taken off around the country. Many thanks for the recognition as beating the mighty Arsenal in front of 100.000 at Wembley was no mean feat and sadly our of reach for most of us teams nowadays 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baba Yaga Posted June 26, 2021 Report Share Posted June 26, 2021 Fair play, the Napoli fans rioted and set their stadium on fire (bit more interesting than the BK fire). 50,000+ crowd for the game and Swindon also played at Roma with a similar crowd, also beat Juve and Sampdoria home and away. Not a bad record against the Italians to be fair. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the strangest professional careers I have ever seen. Personally thought he came across as a bluffer on Robins TV too. 26 games since 2014. All for Colchester. He doesn't seem to have been first-choice keeper at any of the 10 clubs that signed him during a 16-year professional career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, fast food (as per anything) is fine in moderation so I don’t hate on them. that’s still someone’s business and more importantly there were people in the restaurant at the time the fire happened.
