2 points from their last 3 home games looks promising unless its time for them to kick on,a draw would be ok.a win and I think we could push on to the play offs.

Swindon 3 Walsall 0 I hope i'm wrong, but i have a bad feeling about this one.Ok Swindon have lost 4 at home but they've only given 11 goals away at their place and scored 34.I will be bold and say IF we win this, we WILL make the play-offs.Please prove me wrong Walsall.COME ON YOU SADDLERS!

Re: Swindon Town (A) League 1 Saturday 9/3/13.
A ding dong 2-2 draw.
We are slightly disappointed as we know we need to keep winning , but ultimately the point will see us into the play offs at the expense of ...Swindon , so denying them 2 points will be crucial.
Goals from Stuart Rimmer and Colin Methven .

Swindon 1-2 Walsall (Grigg x 2) - The fantastic run to continue as we close to within 2 points of the play-offs, around 9000 there with a strong 800 saddlers turning out!

Re: Swindon Town (A) League 1 Saturday 9/3/13.
Step too far this one with the new manager's first home game.
Swindon 3-1 Walsall
9,205 (557)
Wont matter much if we can beat Tranmere/Cralwey the Tuesday/Saturday after.

Re: Swindon Town (A) League 1 Saturday 9/3/13.
ive got a mixed feeling about this one , i think we will either loose big or win big , undecided but i think we have so much confidence at the moment and playing without pressure , if we go at them early on , use our pace on the break , then we will give them a spanking.

Doh! I fink we shud win this 'un 2-0!
Best of luck with the magic roundabout guys...As they say in 'Early Doors'.."to the regiment..I wish I was there!"
Should we ACTUALLY beat Swindon on thier own turf, I believe we would be in with a great shout for the play offs...will someone please investigate who this bloke with the beard is, that keeps scoring goals for us? Some on here laughingly suggest that is Grigg..... haha!!! :D :D :D ....must be a cunning diguise!

Re: Swindon Town (A) League 1 Saturday 9/3/13.
Hi Walsall fans a Swindon fan in peace.
Tomorrow should be an interesting game for both sides you are on a fantastic run and our home form in February has seen us draw most games and lose one but with all the behind the scenes activities going on it was no surprise that February was disappointing. After our great win at Coventry last week where we should have thrashed them by more than our 2-1 win but our side put in a fantastic performance so i hope with the managers first home game we are going to get back to winning ways at home.
What i do hope is your side play an offensive game as it will be more beneficial to us as most sides come to our ground and park the bus and look for the counter attack.
If you win it gives you a great chance to get in the play offs if we win and results go our way we could back to the top of the table.
Other sides around us also have difficult games so tomorrow is interesting in more ways than one.
I hope you lot bring good support as alot of teams in L1 have really poor away support whereas we had 3000 at Coventry last week i hope you can at least fill the corner of the Arkells which hold about 1000 if you do it will make for a good atmosphere.
We are due a home win and i hope tomorrow we can get that but i think with the weather and the pitch being slick i think there will be a few goals tomorrow and it could be one of the best games of the season with both sides going for it.
Anyway the magic roundabout is not as bad as people make it out to be best way to go round them is shut your eyes and just keep going it works every time as cars normally stop. I still dont know know which prat came up with the idea of the roundabouts luckily i live outside of Swindon so only effects me on matchdays.

Re: Swindon Town (A) League 1 Saturday 9/3/13.
funny how no one ever mentions the cost of tickets at the clubs below with Bournemouth being the most expensive nad the others charging the same as us at £25 fans seems to have this obsession that always knocking us for our ticket prices and whatever happens this season if we go up or stay where we are prices will be frozen for next season.
So have one less pint of beer before the game funny how people will pay anything for a pint but then moan about ticket prices so i take it the moaners are going tomorrow.
Bournemouth charge £26
Coventry £25
Hartlepool £25
Colchester £25
Sheff Utd £25

Well that's because theirs might be down to category games.The higher the category the more they charge, i didn't pay £26 at Bournemouth, i didn't pay that at Coventry either or at Colchester! The only two grounds we have had to pay £25 is Swindon and Hartlepool. I do agree with your point about the beer though.People moan about how much it is to get in but they don't about beer which they piss up a wall anyway! AND they moan about how expensive tickets are and leave before the end! So in effect they're only paying for about 85 minutes, not 90.

Re: Swindon Town (A) League 1 Saturday 9/3/13.
tinned - lets face it none of us can go stone faced sober to a game when we see some of the games that are dished up to us.
All i'm saying is fans have a few beers before a game, dont moan about the travel costs to get ot a game but always moan about ticket prices.
Anyway i reckon those of you who dont go tomorrow will miss a good game we like to play football the right way on the floor as i understand you do as well we both have pace up front and with a slick pitch and good crowd it should make a cracking game and even better game if we win.
i always like going to your ground and always go in the bar at the ground and always found you lot ok.
