yh they use that extra stand for big games to allocate extra seats to away games, but i dont know if they will allocate it to us now, with the game only being a few days away, there wouldnt be time to send out tickets, and sometimes they dont allow away fans to collect/buy tickets at there ground, having been there to watch oxford i know a bit about it.

plenty of tickets available on the gate. Just not online anymore.
They must have to set a limit on how many to let in 'pay on the gate' though?
IF the original allocation of 700 odd has sold out (which it looks likely), then the uncovered stand behind the goal will be opened and that holds an extra 2100.
I'd say the chances of getting in are good to excellent.
Id guess until they were sold out. Ill just get there early(ish) to make sure im let in

Hello, Swindon fan in peace here. Looking forward to Saturday, got my kids birthday party at the ground a couple of hours before the kick off then the match after
Anyway, think this could be a decent game, Paolo sounds really up for it in the local press and our players generally seem to up their game when we play what are considered as a bigger team.
Our captain, Alan McCormack is out injured, as is our best striker, Andy Williams although we have a sizeable squad so its not a major concern. We have been poor at home the last couple of games, some have put that down to the injury of Gary Roberts, although he is expected to start on Saturday on the left with Ritchie down the right. Up front it will be 2 of James Collins, Paul Benson or Adam Rooney.
It looks like your initial allocation was 700 and you will have 500 pay on the day tickets available which would fill the corner of the Arkells Stand (just the £25 a throw) if by chance you bring more than the 1200 we would likely open up the uncovered Stratton Bank which accomodates just over 2000 fans, normally at £19 a ticket.
Those coming by train early enough, you are spoilt for Pubs just 2-3 mins away from the station with the normal selection of Wetherspoons, Yates, cheap beer and foodetc etc. The pub nearest to the ground for away fans is The Merlin, which is the other side of The Magic Roundabout, if you from The Merlin to the ground (about 5 mins) you go past a great little chippy next to The Magic Roundabout. The away end has a new bar fitted, Bar 71 or something like that, from what i know its the normal gnats pee beer, but convenient. For those driving, the parking is not brilliant. You can pay a fiver next to the ground on the cricket pitch, there is also a bar in the cricket pavillion that is popular with away fans. My tip for this would be to get there before 2pm and there is room for about 15 cars literally on the alley that approaches the cricket ground, this is on County Road, at the junction of Manchester Road. I have parked there for 10 years now, usually get there about 2 and sit in the car for a bit with a McDonalds, which is 5 minutes from the ground.
Hope you have a safe journey down, I'm going for 2-1 Swindon, guess I would do though
thanks, but yes you have the score wrong.....
Yes you are spot on, 3-1 Swindonabout 10k in attendance
not 18k you got against Mk then ;-) lol
though i think the football league have realised now your ground has a full capacity of nearly 16k???
can see use bringing over a 1000 if we do that we may require the addition seats!
No idea where they got 18k from, the most you can squeeze in our place is 14'500 with the segregation included
Food is pricey here by the way, try getting something to eat before you get in the ground
I remember we were there a few years ago in the cup, filled the area behind the goal.
Cov fans caused aggro during and after If I remember.
Same scoreline would be nice..... :claping hands:
