Shaun Taylor Posted March 15, 2017 Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 i started following Swindon as a small lad some 40 years ago and have no annomosity with City and have seen them play many times including when you were in the old first division 76/77 I wasn't proud of the way some of the players reacted after the 1-0 win at the county ground and found it embarrassing and could understand the hatred aimed at the club after that. I hope that you stay up and look forward to playing you more than the gas or Oxford and can't understand why you're struggling as you have a decent chairmen where as we've been well and truly shafted by a single minded chairman who will only do things his way and is taking us back into the basement and who knows what the future has in store there after Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not listed any 'excuses', I've simply explained why I don't vehemently blame or hate LJ like some on here do. Your immense anti-Johnson bias can't even accept when I've posted numerous valid points. I think he and the board have justly been criticised this season but I also sympathise with LJ over various things. I find a lot of the stuff you say about LJ to be biased 'drivel', as you put it. I've explained my opinions enough times. If you don't like my posts, you're free to use the block button. I've been following City since I was a kid (90's), not that it's in any way relevant.

You actually get ridiculed for not slating the manager on this forum. It's embarrassing. A load of moaners that act all big on the internet, organise supposed protests and then when it comes down to it, don't do anything and come back on the forum to slate an individual doing his best job again and again on repeat.

The club has been debt free for over a season but Power will only get young kids in to play this total possession football rubbish which clearly dosen't work in league one.

Saw his mistake Tuesday, but largely seen positive reviews. He's a cracking young goalkeeper and only played last night because Vigs and two others allegedly went out on the Town Saturday night and got in some sort of bother. The goal he gave away was a perfect example of a young kid trying to play his way out from the back which Power likes to see but made him look stupid. I've no doubts he will be the first choice goalkeeper once Power sells Vigs on and gets a tidy profit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

22A Posted March 17, 2017 Report Share Posted March 17, 2017 On this morning's news; Swindon Town fans have offered their Council £1.1 million to buy the ground from the Council.

Given Bristol's (alleged) apathy, would we ever work together and raise enough cash to buy AG, or the gasheads a UWE site? I saw this too. Their Supporters Trust group had a meeting last night and agreed to try and raise the money through a share scheme. The council had previously agreed to sell them the ground for £1.1m. Now all they got to do is raise the money! They said they needed to own their own ground, I think the owner (Power) said he wasn't interested himself. (?). The ST person said it needed developing as they still had portaloos etc and without help it will still look the same in 20 years time. Now I haven't been there for 25/30 years, and it was rough back then, we had some real edgy games with them back in the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
22A Posted March 17, 2017 Report Share Posted March 17, 2017 There's something going on in Swindon. Their speedway circuit is a longer drawn out saga than the UWE in Bristol. That stadium is owned by "old friends" Gaming International (think Plainmoor etc). Here's some quotes from a speedway forum. I've just checked out 'Smart New Homes' which is the development in Blunsdon and it clearly states in one of the current property's details under local facilities that Abbey Stadium, popular for Speedway and Greyhounds, is due to have a 5 million pound revamp! Is that a similar £5 million revamp that was carried out at MK and Reading. (both now closed and housing estates). Don't forget the orginal one in Bristol !!
