Before the Swindon versus Notts County game today, here’s a updated version of my League One predictions table, which is based on projecting ahead home and away form for the remaining games. So 47 or 48 points may now be enough to avoid relegation if things were to continue the way they are. However, as far as Swindon Town are

Its that time of the year again when I receive the Swindon Town research files for FOOTBALL MANAGER™. As part of the final review for FOOTBALL MANAGER 2011™ I’ll be updating all of the Swindon Town data. Not only will this exercise require me to make all the Swindon players crap 😉 I’ll be going over all of the existing data to make sure
Read moreSo is this what us suffering Swindon Town supporters have to look forward towards until the end of the season? Comments and excuses galore this week from David Prutton and Matt Ritchie just frustrate and anger me. We, the Swindon supporters, don’t have to be told the obvious like key players haven’t been”replaced”. They have been replaced, however those players brought in
Read moreTuesday was the day all of the second year Swindon Town youth team scholars dreaded. Will they be offered their first professional contract or cast adrift to start their potentially long search to find a contract or forget their dream of playing professional football? The whole team have performed brilliantly to secure the Youth Alliance South West Championship title for the third

However, at the other end of the table…the top end…remember where we were
Read moreThe second story in the series following Swindon Town successes of avoiding the drop, this time I take a look back to 1975/1976 in Football League Division Three. After almost bouncing back at the first time of asking the season before, when Town finished just in 4th place, just 2 points shy of automatic promotion, the contrasting fortunes a season later sounds
Read moreI’m still coming to terms to Swindon Town defender Scott Cuthbert’s bizarre comment to the Swindon Advertiser: “We are confident that if we put the performance in every week then we won’t be in the bottom four and that has got to be our aim. “When it comes to the end of the month we have eight games that we feel
Read moreGuff from the Adver earlier earlier today with Gary Rose’s article on his interview with Swindon Town defender Andy Frampton.
