Relegation, demotion and perhaps a promotion …the continuing story of Swindon Town F.C.
Bitter Gillespie gives his take on how Swindon Town got into this position; with an owner who wants out, a manager and technical team who resigned, but a team that’s siting proudly top of League One… It seems a lifetime ago or more when Swindon Town was suffering its second administration, and these bleak dark […]
Over a year after Paul Hart lead Swindon to relegation, Alex Cooke has the privilege of pushing Town’s second all-time-least-successful manager in to the depths of the STFC Hall of Shame. Paul Hart should have bounced. After all they call it a ‘dead cat bounce’ as supposedly even the most decomposed felines will get some […]
In his response to our question via the Swindon Advertiser a few weeks ago, interim Chairman Jeremy Wray indicated the Club will hold their AGM towards the end of this month or at the start of May. “We have an AGM coming up soon and that [appointing Wray as Chairman] will be sorted out then.

Today we start our look back over the past twelve months with our eleven key moments that have shaped and defined 2011.

I’m writing this post whilst watching the Real Madrid versus Barcelona 1st leg of the Champions League semi-final.

The much maligned transfer window closed at 11pm on Monday. Two windows a season have been a fixture of domestic football throughout Europe now since 2002/2003. They were introduced following requirements for football governing bodies to further conform to European Commission regulations concerning restriction of the movement of players, as many national football associations had different rules […]
