    Match Thread Swindon v Coventry Match Thread - Saturday 6th Aug (15:00 Kick Off)

    Fancy a win but would take a draw all things considered. Swindon look a poor side. Our youth and inexperience might not be too much of a hindrance - it's not a wet Tuesday in February. Looks like it might be warm and sunny, pitch will be perfect, so ideally suited to teams who like to get it...

    Time is a great healer......But !

    If a whole season at Sixfields and gates of 2500 didn't do the trick then nothing will. There are only about 5000 paying customers at home games as ST money is already banked. Stay away for 2 games and it'd make a dent in the finances and all they'd do is reduce the playing budget or sell a...

    TM's Video begs the question..

    Wow. Some alarmist guff on here. Everyone take a breath and relax. It's one thing to be concerned about our defensive options, but writing off the season 5 days before it starts when we know they'll be new arrivals? I think we'll win Saturday, and the two home games that follow don't exactly...

    Do you remember ?

    tbf, my old man came up with that. Can't remember what he had for dinner, but somehow recalls something as random this.

    Is it 50 years since we've beaten them or something? Long overdue..

    Formal Planning Objection from CCFC

    Indeed. I fail to see how imploring the council not to sell the stadium to the club, or supporting their stance over Higgs is wanting the club to succeed. How do they square that circle in their heads? But then, these people don't exist we're told. Incredible how naive some people can be.

    Do you remember ?

    We were terrible towards the end of that season, very lucky to stay up. Three games into the following season we were top of the PL. Felt sorry for Gould, had the rug pulled from under him in January. 14th was a false position in 92/93, although I recall we dropped about 4 places in the...

    Formal Planning Objection from CCFC

    There isn't really anything that we can 'do' to them. What would help is if the supporters of this club - and we number tens of thousands, were to at the very least put on a united front and speak as one. While you have people on the CT site (I accept not you personally) positively egging them...

    Formal Planning Objection from CCFC

    It isn't all about you I'm afraid. The comment said 'some people'; and if you read some of the comments on the CT (much moreso than on here) it is hard to argue against that. I am sure you want the team to succeed every bit as much as I do, this isn't black and white, there are a whole range...

    Formal Planning Objection from CCFC

    Oh please. You're seeing things that aren't there again. Nobody has 'blindly' defended anyone - but I don't see the value in repeating all those past mistakes ad nauseum in the misguided belief that it makes a coherent argument when addressing issues that are current - as though it somehow...

    Are we all excited for the up and coming

    Swindon fans not happy at the moment, seem to be of the opinion that their squad is way short of being competitive. Guess they'll bring in loans (much like us) next week, but certainly seems to be a good time to play them. Nailed on defeat then.

    Yes, but it isn't 'policy', we paid cash for both Vincelot and Jones last season. It's a lack of funds and nothing to do with a strategic policy of never paying a transfer fee.

    Formal Planning Objection from CCFC

    You get the feeling some people would be devastated if the club had a successful season. It's about damaging SISU above anything else.

    You seem almost disappointed that the club parted with a significant amount of cash for Jones. The mentality of some genuinely baffles me.

    Are we all excited for the up and coming

    You're perfectly entitled to that view of course, but personally I have never found it hard to be a City fan. I find it comes naturally :)

    Are we all excited for the up and coming

    Can't wait for it. Full of optimism and expectancy, can't see the point in not being. I know we say this every year, but this is a huge season for us. Has a make or break feel to it.

    Formal Planning Objection from CCFC

    Yep, in the right circumstances. I would certainly enter into a deal with CCFC if the deal at hand was the long term security of the academy. Plenty have entered deals with SISU/CCFC in recent years. JustSport, TicketMaster, Allsop & Allsop amongst others. I believe PWKH is spiteful and...

    Given that D&R turned down a bid of 300K from Charlton, it would be a startlingly bad bit of business for them if they settled for much less than that. I have been told 200K rising to 300K, but I know some people will absolutely refuse to believe it.
