Unless there are 20,000 people booing every touch or moaning at the same time whenever something goes wrong I don't think it'll have much effect in what some people feel like saying. Despite the Mad House being a morgue all of last season our players still did alright. Yawn, we get the old 'morgue'...

May not be as easy for us As the same steward is stationed near us each game. In the past, if one of the kids couldn't make the game we tended to bring along a friend of the other. However, I fear in future the steward may blow the whistle on us if the appearance of the kids changes from one game t...

Riseley How about a numpty watch? A well known supporter could give his views on the negative comments seen on hobnob and berate the numpties by name live post match. All we need to find an articulate upper west STH who is fond of the word numpty.


Count me in on that one then!

Big Ern Great news. He must have failed his medical at Upton Park. Lets hope he doesn't pass the next one in a week or two.


Passed the medical - wages were a problem. :D

There is a Police helicopter overhead Swindon every Saturday evening.

Spot on rabidee! Have Newcastle changed their kit to not having stripes on the back though? Only they had stripes on the back last year and I didn't think they were changing their home kit this term. I don't see why us and other teams it affects can't have numbers and player names in a coloured pan...

My tuppence worth - Kitson has been our top scorer for the last two seasons, made the step up two divisions with ease and (imho) is underrated in terms of his ability on the ground; I like the way he holds up the ball. I think that after all he has achieved for us he deserves a little better than t...

this scheme is rubbish. you can only upgrade it three times so if i don't come back from uni my mu wants to go, but can only go three times. my dad offered to pay for an adult season ticket, an upgrade on my concession, giving the club an extra hundred quid. they said no, and promptly said to my da...

Kunts. So, if I go to Villa, Wigan, Sheffield United and West Ham I will have the same number of points as someone who toddles along to a meaningless friendly. Why don't they just drop the whole pretense about Royalty Points rewarding loyalty and just dish points out at the end of the year to peopl...

We will run out to the Premiership anthem apparently whatever that is. Nope. The premiership anthem is played before the game when the players line up, international style, after running out. We're not going to have to sit through cr*p like that before every game are we, its bad enough having to en...

Surely this doesn't need a debate. The club should try it out next year by playing Sweet Caroline a few times pre-match , see if it catches on and if so great. If not then don't press the point. The whole point of these anthems is that they ought to be spontaneous, not democratically discussed for m...

I will renew mine for sure, but not certain that I can afford to cough up such a large increase for my 12 year old daughter. Her Young Royals ST for this year was less than £100; increasing that to 290 for next year is a big step.

The trouble is that IF we sign Powell now SDR will come back claiming he forecast it! The fact is he got it totally wrong on the first post on this thread - Powell did not sign within 10 days, nor was he going to.

Re: More stewards? what!

Thats not true at all because if standing was allowed they wouldnt need so many stewards to enforce the stupidest rule ever made at our football club. Everyone is entitled to an opinion but this could benifit everyone. Standers in one area and sitters in another. I didnt hear the seated members of ...
