REDOXO Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 They will be there in numbers when we roll into town! Also don't forget when counting those extra fingers can cause problems!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bar BS3 Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 I get your point, but I still feel uncomfortable about us knocking other team's attendances when I feel we really should be doing better than we do (as we used to do when I was growing up). I can only hope to be able to look forward to seeing a regular 25k gate in the redeveloped stadium. I wouldn't feel uncomfortable about people mocking Swindon for only getting 6k turn out for a top of the table clash. Then is woeful by any standards!

Different story to all the claims that Mark Cooper is doing a great job on a shoestring budget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich-TWSC- Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 It's not great. Our attendances have been down all season. There are reasons and it's frustrating but it won't stop you guys talking about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's clear to me that the latest ownership dispute in the summer has kept many away. Usually if teams are playing well, people pay up. It's not happening at the moment.

Major Isewater Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 I hate to be devil's advocate here but given that the population of Swindon is around 210,000 and the population of Bristol is 500,000 plus, their gates seem roughly proportionate to ours.

candygram for mongo Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 and several trainfuls of city window shopping for hours before kick off....didnt the gates get torn down one year about three hours before kick off ?....could be wrong mind, My first away game approx 1972, early in the season. The gates were torn down and hundreds flooded into the ground only to be chased out by unleashed Police dogs. It was a long long time ago so forgive me if I have any facts wrong but that is how I remember it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a long long time ago so forgive me if I have any facts wrong but that is how I remember it. As I said earlier. After M&S, in to and straight of the ground, Hello to 'Millwall' and a fine day.

It was a long long time ago so forgive me if I have any facts wrong but that is how I remember it. I don't think the 'gates were torn down'. Just lent on one and it opened! My main recollection of the day was not taking the Town End but Millwall, who we'd played at home the previous week, turning up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 For those who haven't read the article the owner was on the local news last evening. He is threatening to sell players in a January unless attendances improve, he needs 7500-7700+ a match or he loses money. Shame we are helping him huh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the differance is we are/were a two club city where as Swindle only have them selfs to worry about thats why they are inbreds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
