First time I can recall since the loyalty points revamp they have put the points bands up. Sales for a high profile fixture normally start at 1,500 points + ST but now up to 1,600 + ST.

[Zammo]

Over 1700 points but mulling over an IN! for obvs reasons. Although Zammo jnr thinks he can take down the oppo single handedly so might just let him experience some old skool Swindon hostility for the lols.

[RG30]

IN! x2

Season ticket holder for more than 40 years and can`t get a ticket till Wednesday morning when they`ll probably be none left.

[RG30]

If you’ve had a ST for last 5 years that would give you 1,275 points on the current points system and would have needed you to buy tickets for 3 matches in that same 5 year period for away matches, home friendlies or home cup matches which would have got you to at least 1,300 points and in the Tuesday afternoon window.

[MR. CYNICAL]

Surprised there's much interest in this apart from the Reading 'yooth'. Tin pot cup and all of that.

It's a disgrace. Why are they not opening that uncovered end either? Perfect evening for it + a few scoops

[Whore Jackie]

IN! x4

Don't believe that stand has a safety certificate just yet, so are unable to open it.

[Clyde1998]

There’s about 140 tickets remaining, so about 870 sold thus far.

[RG30]

Sold out.

Got tickets for my two lads but missed out on one for me as one of our season tickets only had 600 points due to us moving it from my daughters name.

So I will just be driving them up and sitting in the car listening then driving them fcuking home

Times have changed. I went to the one nil defeat at the Manor Ground in about 1976 at Christmas. We took three coaches, and no one made a sound. IIRC we were put on a terrace, opposite the London road end, with loads of ( peaceful) home fans.

Ditto Brentford (2-2) around the same time. After we got off the coach we saw no RFC fans until we got back on.

Home end and behave yourself, surely?

[Clyde1998]

I guess the police and H&S decision relates to this: https://www.swindontownfc.co.uk/news/20 ... ty-ground/

EDIT: It must do.

Further work is required at Stratton Bank to ensure it can be opened, should demand necessitate its use. The following tasks have been identified to facilitate its safe reopening:

• Barrier testing – Completed
• E10 Emergency Gate – Works in progress
• Replacement of seating – Works in progress
• Demolition of Stratton Bank toilets – Scheduled for week commencing 11 August
• Painting of access and egress areas – Works in progress

There’s been no obvious update since.

Wally is 100% firm. Ain't no way he's not starting a ruckus.

Definitely one of the faces, they will spot me a mile off,

Tbh not overly interested in the game, its just my 14 year old thinks he is one of the boys and wants to be marched to the station and get a train back with the lads.

I have pointed out it is a school night.

I was at both of those! Similar experience away at Crystal Palace around the same time.

[skipper]

One of my mates is a Swindon fan, and struggling a little at the moment, so I have got he and I a box for this game. So I shall be a turn coat for the evening and sitting in Swindon end. Which will be fun!

Most exciting prospect is that the Ehibhatiomhan brothers may go head to head, as Princeton currently is on loan at the Robins from Southampton. I didn't realise he had left our academy in 2023!
