Will be interesting when Garner gets to meet a Crown Court bothering, bullshitting, bin-dipping, cheeky-chappie scally as part of his new job next season..............wonder whether he will ask for advice to avoid a scenario where someone follows on from him and accuses him of negligence?
Relatively cheap in the short term for a club in Swindon's position too.
Hes one of those hot head managers if it dosen't go his way he blows his top so watch out next season!
somw of you older City fans will know that's there's been quite a few players that him moved either way along the M4 so it would make sense if you had one or two who would benefit from league 2 football rather than underneath 23 soulless games

Hope you do the double over them next season as well
Have you got anymore players to loan us we still haven't got a first team yet

3 pages of them hysterically laughing at Swindon potentially appointing Ben Garner, and they "actually feel sympathy" for Swindon.
Are they forgetting that Garner has a better win record and points per game record than their current manager, Barton?
They also forget we done the double over them last season with their thug of a manager in charge

thats really sad I think. Lee Power has a lot to answer for
Hopefully he will now be finished in football and his past is quite surprising considering he played the game himself and would know that it's the fans who will suffer

Swindon, more than any club, seem to have sailed close to the wind financially for a long time, back to Macari's time IIRC and maybe before that.
If any club were more likely than others to go 'pop', I wouldn't be surprised if it was STFC.
I don't have much time for STFC but the few fans that are on here seem genuinely nice people so, for them, I hope Swindon survive but I can see a Bury situation happening here. Sorry ST.
I think you're right we've sailed close to being wound up many times and for me it all stared in the Lou Macari and has continued on & off ever since with a few good years in between. We hit rock bottom in the early 80's when you had your own problems but that wasn't down to anything financial or owner related.
Things could definitely go either way for us over th next couple of weeks and no idea which way that will be but one thing for sure is things are never quiet at this football club!

Did JJW not go there? I hope he walked or is he clinging to hope of getting paid.
And is there any chance Swindon can start the season?
As far as I'm aware JJW is there but a few of the remaining pros including Pittman refused to train until they got paid.
we're hearing the deal for the Australian businessman to takeover is close to being concluded but has hit legal problems regarding Powers reluctance to being open about various debts etc.
Unless this is sorted out within the next couple of days you would imagine our opening game/s will have to be called off or even worse we get kicked out of the league.
As far as I'm aware we're supposed to be playing a friendly at Supermarine tonight but then again who really knows!

Semantics.
If you wish other clubs to go bankrupt you are taking football rivalry far too seriously. We are all football fans and peoples football clubs can be extremely important to them.
We are all one terrible owner away from bankruptcy
Derby matches are what make football atmospheric and I'm sure you would rather play Swindon where there is a bit of an edge over say a MK Dons or Wigan

Exactly and Swindon fans bring up 82 every time you speak to them and how they wish it happened
Trust me being a city fan living in Wiltshire I’d love to see them go under
Not disputing what you say as there's idiots at every club but all I ever hear is begrudging admiration for your stadium, training facilities and wealthy owner.

I can never understand why some owners are quite content to burn the house down while they're standing in it?
It's not as if Power will come out of it with anything worthwhile. The club rent the ground and seemingly have nothing else of worth to make money from.
All he's managed to do is cripple a club and the bin it. Not exactly a sound business model that's likely to encourage future business partners to have faith in you.
Sounds like they'd be better off starting from scratch.
We were warned about his past before he took over but at the time there was no alternative so we fell for his charm!

My Grandad was Swindon regular (and went to Wembley) until he was struck down by a Stroke, so I've always had a soft spot for them, at least while we're above them in the league. I'm glad he isnt around to see this shambles, he did live long enough for the Premier League season. It looks like the Wigan situation at the beginning of last season and they pulled through eventually but they had the safety cushion of League 2. Sadly though it looks like there is one club that the Gas are certain to finish above this season
I was actually at their last game in the Premier League, in the away end with a couple of Leeds mates. It finished 0-5 to Leeds and we had a stroll around the pitch afterwards.
Great story and memories regarding your Grandad and so nice that he was able to see us in the premiership.
i don't get the hatred thing just because we're 40 miles apart and for me it's quite the opposite as I've had many good times in Bristol but sadly the society we live in if I was wearing a STFC shirt I would probably get my head punched in.

Well said and some of us actually decent human beings who weren't just born into a different football club but some of the abuse received is beyond belief but that's football fans for you.

got to say dude, I hate Swindon as much as any other city fan but feel sorry for you, you sound like one of the rare decent Swindon supporters
We're not all bad and there are some decent fans who enjoy the friendly banter without being hostile.
I'm Swindon through and through for the last 45 years so won't desert them now and watching many Derby games between us over that period I can't help be envious on what you've now got in place and really miss the atmosphere of playing City and who knows if we're ever play you again the way things are going.

Presumably that's what they fielded at Melksham Town too which I understand ended in a 0-0 draw. Forest Green fielded two separate team for each half against Melksham and won 6-0.
Exactly that, Pittman & Payne are refusing to train with the club as they haven't been paid for ages and which leaves us with a couple 3-4 outfield players, your ex goalkeeper, youth players and a couple of trialist

Will that lead to a points deduction if it reoccurs?
We don't know as the EFL may look at it and say it's down to Power and not the actual football club.
Hearing the take over could happen tomorrow but Power is doing everything to stall things.

We have no players so fielded mainly youth and a couple of trialist. Also a couple of pros refuse to train as they haven't been paid

Bristol R*vers dustbin thread
in Football Chat
Posted · Edited by Shaun Taylor
He's a good age and could really benefit from league football just like Scott Twine did for us whilst on loan at Newport before Power cashed in at the end of last season and sold him.
