Swindon (A) 08/10/16 1pm - Match Thread

[Bruce Rioja]

Anyone else ordered tickets through the post and not had them yet? Bought the buggers on the 29th and they've not come yet. Who do I ring and shout at?

The away bar 71 at the ground opens at 11.00 if anyone wants to meet up.

Good luck everyone that has to drive through that fecking roundabout(s).

Decided to go on the train from tiverton. I do hope we see some effort, passion, oh yes decent passing football .

Someone (Bish?) has had this issue previously. IIRC, the solution is ring the club and have the tickets brought down on the coach. Oh, and check that Mrs Barnet hasn't hidden them just to thwart your escape!

[Worthy4England]

I reckon you must pay extra to not have them delivered.

Cheers TD. The Good Lady Wife doesn't mind my trips, I suspect she quite possibly enjoys the time off... As it happens she's working from home today so if they're not in the morning post I shall get on to the club. Ta

I'm amazed we've sold that many. I'm guessing that they're mainly to younger types who've never seen us play Swindon before?

Probably. Played them 14 times in a decade '89-'99 but none since then.

No mixu or sneekes of the bench this time

Any sign of your tickets, DSB? The early ko prevents me from joining you & the 500 at the County Ground.

Thought it'd be more than that, to be honest. There was a time when it felt like we were playing them once a fortnight. Didn't Fjortoft refuse to join us because he thought Swindon were a better bet for promotion, or have I dreamed that up?

[Harry Genshaw]

Any excuse to put this classic bit of footy on - enjoy

There was a time (Oct/Nov 89) when we played them more often than that - on four Tuesdays out of five, because the first three League cup games were drawn. This is when we were D3 and they were D2. Indeed of those 14 games, 6 were cup ties (the other being the 95 League Cup semis), meaning that we were only in the same division four times in that decade (94/95, 96/97, 98/99, 99/00).

I think he was linked, but might you be conflating that with Bernie Slaven joining Vale rather than us?

[LeverEnd]

Are you on about the replays?
Tomorrow Im nit going so we have a chance

[BWFC_Insane]

Christ, that looks a shite team that we've picked.

Game should be on this link

If it says 404 not found in the player keep clicking on the "404" text and it will start playing.

Trotter is on the bench, which as the consensus on this site is a good thing.

Nah, I remember the Slaven episode, I've got it in my head though that Fjortoft gave us the bum's rush as well. Though I could be completely wrong.

BBC has 3 matches postponed due to insufficient players. Is there a plague or summat over there?

I noticed that. Perhaps it's got something to do with the international weekend?
