Re: Swindon
Also in the mid 80s there was over 3 m unemployed and all the games were played on a Saturday.Allways Westside wrote: ↑Thu Sep 05, 2019 1:04 pm Would think all most 7,000 cauld be more,re our crowds 5,500 in this league would not be bad,if we went up 6,500 would mean we would only be a 1,000 short of sell out in home area,even in the championship with 1,500 going to away fans 7,500 here every game would be the most so really we are in a good position to more or less to fill ground if we make progress,I remember when we were down to 2,000 crowds yet FA cup did bring people out of the woodwork even then,forest and derby games were about 8 times our league gates.
I remember Brian Winston moving games to 8 pm on a Friday night in a desperate attempt to get more people to turn up.

Re: Swindon
La participation augmentera avec le retour de Matty Baudry. Je ne savais pas qu'il était là. Je l'aime beaucoup.

Re: Swindon
Support tuned out for them yesterday and we rewarded with a cracking performance. Although we were never at the races it's at least refreshing to be able to come out from the match having been beaten by good quality football, rather than filth as it was at NL level.
Swindon #7 and #30 were a class above, not sure where they got those two from but look very good signings indeed.

I've only just worked my way through this thread (it's a quiet Sunday), well predicted Byways1. I don't anticipate Lucky etc to contribute further, saying how right your analysis was

I also predicted a 4 0 defeat.jamespevans wrote: ↑Sun Sep 08, 2019 10:01 amI've only just worked my way through this thread (it's a quiet Sunday), well predicted Byways1. I don't anticipate Lucky etc to contribute further, saying how right your analysis was
I had a feeling he was going to lose his bottle and revert to a back 5 in the hope the opposition will die of boredom and we will sneak a 1 0 win.
I can’t stand managers who spend all their time worrying about what the other lot are going to do, it just shows no confidence in your own 11 and what they bring to it.
If he is in charge next week he will play the same back 5 with a couple of defensive midfielders in front on them. We will probably be at least 2 down by half time.
With this system the team has no goal threat and the opposition know this so they will be looking for an early goal and know we will fall apart.

Re: Swindon
I think he might have already overdone the ol’ predictions (Orient will sell for £1; Orient will groundshare with Dagenham; Bonne to be sold imminently for £50k on several occasions 2016-2017; etc etc).

Re: Swindon
Great support. Knew we would lose when I saw their 1300 fans greet their team onto the pitch. Bit like the old days. Hope we don't become a soft touch at home again

Was going to come home for it but stayed up in Manchester for the 4th day of the test in the end.
