All going to plan at the County Ground against Exeter in Trophy game.

The attendance this evening is 644, with 78 from Exeter. The lowest attendance for any Swindon game since 1910.

I don’t know whether to congratulate them on their effective boycott or to laugh my tits off.

A dead rubber in the paint pot with both sides unable to qualify is surely the most pointless game of football ever played? There will have been playground kickarounds at school lunchtimes today with more riding on them. Those that travelled from Exeter to Swindon are a bit mental.

Those who travelled within a Swindon postcode to go to that are mental too.

That's a given though

Despite being in Oxfordshire, my old house had a Swindon postcode. Worrying.

Their big rivals in Chippenham had a crowd of 1326 tonight.

Just to rub it in, Wildschut scored the only goal of the game for Exeter !!!!!

Swindon's CEO took part in a car crash online fans Q&A last night. Absolute nuts - comes across as a car salesman (with apologies to all car salesmen).

Hmmm. Suggestion: Oxford fans form a consortium and buy Swindon. We could actually then build it up in Yellow and Blue. Downside we'd lose our derby, upside we'd have a feeder club.

He doesn't even explain basics like Costs and Losses properly.

It’s a real eye opener. Amateur hour.

There’s a bit where he asked the playing budget and he has no idea. Doesn’t know the FFP rules either.

When you see this you realise how well run are club has become. I think the scum owner under estimate how much it was going to cost to run a four division football club.

Indeed, around 100 first team players is expensive. Only Chelsea seem to be able to afford that number of 1st team players.

Oh dear Swindle town at it again

Club Statement: EFL Charge

Swindon Town Football Club would like to issue the following statement:

EFL Statement: Swindon Town

The wording of the EFL statement is sub-standard to say the least.

Considering the quality of Fans' Forum, something like this is no surprise.

Clem Fandango continuing Lee Power’s excellent work.

Hope it continues for a little while yet. A hefty 70 points deduction would be good.
