    Just thought I would share this part of a statement from the Swindon town owner. Showing we are on the right track


    We recently joined the Fair Game Initiative, which is dedicated to making football clubs more sustainable. We are fully aligned with their goals and believe in the significance of a sustainable future for our club and the football community.

    It's been said recently that clubs in League Two lose on average £1m-£2m, in League One they lose £3m+ every year and in the Championship even more, all chasing success. It shouldn’t be this way and Fair Game is pushing very hard and want all football clubs to become more sustainable, telling us that since the Premier League was created in 1992, there have been 64 instances of clubs collapsing into administration in the top 4 divisions and also that the Premier League gives more money to one parachute payment club than it does to all 120 clubs in leagues 1, 2 and the National League combined. Things must change, and we fully support the Fair Game initiative.

    I bet they are considering they didn’t pay their staff on time and conceded 7 at home to a non league side. That’s me comforted cheers mate.

    You've probably disappeared for another couple of years. If not, and you are still lurching in the shadows, is today's new appointment down to these mystery new owners or was it just a load of bull and Rupp is here for years to come?

    I’m going for the “load of bull” option.

    Last seen 2 weeks and 2 days ago. So file in the same folder as ‘Odsal Superdome’. Creative(ish) unsubstantiated gibberish. However at some point in the future, the club will be sold/taken over and then you will get an ‘l told you so’ post!! The fact that it will be coincidental and totally unrelated to anything they think they know, will be brushed over.
