Most of the time regarding Swindon I'm replying to questions that I've been asked but point taken and no worries I'll stick to the thread topic.

That was unfair blaming you guys without any proof but they should be thankful as they wouldn't playing in the state of the art stadium today if it hadn't burnt down!

I'm not sure if it's our best start for 15 years but Garner has certainly got them playing well and we've recruited nungary young players who want to win and not just after a final pay day. The stewards seem to start the trouble with one in particular saying don't mess with the Taliban and attempting to throw some punches at fans which upset some of our idiots who then retaliated. The steward was then dragged away by his buddies and a few things were broken and thrown onto the pitch.

Apologies 42nite just honest football chat with decent posters

2 games in 2011 before his much publicised fall out with DiCanio

You're right there's not really anywhere else within the current footprint to develop. Swindon is now heavily populated on the North side with thousands of new homes & families etc which many won't be aware of so there's maybe potential off the A419 near Cricklade but it would be a few miles away from the Town centre.

There was an agreement for the STFC trust to purchase 50% with Power buying the other half so I'm assuming that the new owner will carry that on. There is a covenant on the land saying that it has to be used for sporting purposes only so it can't be developed for houses etc. The problem we seem to have with brownfield sites is the locals always complain about the potential traffic it would create.

They may use it to light up one of their tents during the winter months?

Gasheads will only pinch it later in the season!

We tried to relocate 20 years ago up by junction 16 but at the last hurdle the council opposed as they found great crested newts on the land. A couple of years later the young announced they were building a couple of thousand homes!! All sites in and around Swindon have been developed so I can't see that there's anywhere to build a new stadium as Junction 15 has the GWH hospital plus new houses and all along the A419 is built up or allocated for another 8000 homes. There are plans to redevelop the County ground with the new owner once he's sorted out Powers mess but it won't happen overnight. Ideally it would be great to turn the stadium around 90 degrees but the cricket ground is the problem as the pavilion has heritage protection so we may have been to build a new Townend and redevelop the Stratton bank and put a roof on it.

That's why I was surprised Rovers took less than 300 to Barrow considering most of their loyal bunch wouldn't have been there before

It's like the club has been reborn again since Clem took over and the feel good factor Is definitely back. We're never going to have your support home or away but over a thousand yesterday at Stevenage, nine hundred at Scunthorpe and eight hundred at Salford is pretty good going considering none of them were local.

Most definitely ?

Nearly as rare as a Banksey?

That's terrible for such a big club? They've got Hartlepool away next Saturday wonder if they will beat the 293 that travelled to Barrow!

We left it late and had 67% possession and took over a 1000 today

As you've no game today hope none of you City lads venture over there and boost their numbers?

Hopefully Ryan Giggs?

They could have had the gasworks as the backdrop to show some nostalgia!

It could be interesting if he falls out with Barton.

That's more than Steve claridge!

DiCanio kicked him up the arse in 2011 for poor attitude on the pitch and a couple of years ago whilst at sheff Utd he was wearing gloves in September?

They've lost the plot with that thug in charge and no directive from above.

They've amended the thread and taken out the five coming in? https://gaschat.co.uk/thread/18494/transfer-window-matchday-thread

What happened to that angry Gashead who often got a mention a couple of years ago from Henbury
