saw some trouble starting up by a burger van as I was driving away from the ground. prob about 10-15 people but couldn't tell who was Swindon and who was Cov. Can't imagine it came to much as the police were on the scene pretty swiftly.

Some guy phoned CWR and said summit bout bricks veing thrown. Di Canio must instruct the fans to be outright pricks aswell as the players (well one atleast, in Collins)

Can't blame the Swindon fans for kicking off as they don't get out very often. Must have been a shock for them seeing the away end sold out

If you mean that so called 'magic roundabout', although we didnt get stuck leaving the ground but did come accross it on the way to the ground. The most bizzarre road junction i have ever seen in all my driving years (albeit that being only 6). Never seen anything like it!

Sold out? You only brought just over 1000, our away allocation is up to 3300! We had larger followings from league 2 last season

Are you including that section behind the goal where someone has nicked the roof as part of the 3000 available ? Our 2000 others that desperately wanted to come are all too classy to "rough it" in your posh alfresco bit there. We all drew lotts for the priveledge of a squeaky but very firm chair under the umbrella so we could stand up instead.

The whole of the corner of The Arkells stand holds 1200 from top to bottom, there were empty seats. A home game in a stadium 32% full must be hard work, a'la MK Dons

Yes, thats for away teams with a large following, unlike yourselves.

It is a shit stand, thats for sure, although the passion that most supporters have for their team is usually enough to convince them to rough it.

Yes, the shadow they cast from 19th in League 2 is frightening at times

Thank god it's only a minority, I take my nine year old to games and if he saw mass fighting he'd be scared to death to go again.
To be fair, we walked back with a crowd of Swindon lads after the game and they were sound. Had a bit of banter and a joke and they wished us well this season. They said they are looking forward to coming to the Ricoh and it would be good to see a big turnout from Swindon.

"Shirter" is a name used by hooligans, who usual wear the "clobber" stone island etc. so they can distinguish who to fight with.
Usually they aim to fight each other and not "Shirters" as a basic rule of thumb.
So if your a shirter and not a hooly, you prob never heard of it before

'shirter' is an old term used to describe normal supporters and those not part of a hooligan following.

Well within the space of 1 minute we've had two contrasting replies. Now im more confused than i was before i first heard the term.

Is it a hooligan or not?

I take my 7 year old to home matches and he would feel the same. Most of our fans are decent, but like everyone, we have our share of numptys, we are looking forward to our trip to The Ricoh, its a nice day out for little Swindon
