It’s Friday, there’s no game tomorrow, so it must be time for the latest STFC weekly review by BBC Devon’s Vic Morgan. As I write this I’m just digesting the news that Nathan Thompson is signing a contract extension at the County Ground. While I’m not naive enough to think that at some point our captain might move on, it’s a

It’s Friday lunchtime, so it must be time for the latest blog by BBC Devon’s Vic Morgan. It’s a long way to Barnsley. For the second time in a fortnight though, a trip to Yorkshire worked out well for Swindon Town. For those of us who made the journey north, it was very worthwhile. It was Bradford City a couple

It’s Friday, so it must be time for the latest blog by BBC Devon’s Vic Morgan. Let’s be honest it was a bit of a battle, but what a battle. Swindon’s performance at Valley Parade was exceptional. Despite some, quite frankly, awful refereeing and conceding an early goal, the Town came away with three excellent points. My reaction at the

It’s Friday, so it must be time for the latest blog by BBC Devon’s Vic Morgan. What a mad week in the wacky world of professional football. Did your eyes water at the amount of money being thrown around in the ‘greed is good’ league? I think the one statistic that remains with me from this crazy few days is

It’s Friday, so it must be time for the latest blog by BBC Devon’s Vic Morgan. Don’t know about you, but I was shocked by Crewe’s performance last Saturday. Usually a team that likes to play football, our fellow railway team came, saw and kind of rolled over. Even after Yaser Kasim’s superb opener the visitors showed little stomach for

It’s Friday, so it must be time for the latest blog by BBC Devon’s Vic Morgan. It’s a strange feeling having watched a defeat but not been too disappointed. That was the feeling as the supporters bus left Crawley last Saturday. The old familiar routine of getting up early for an away match resumed at the weekend. It meant a

It’s Friday, and a new season, so it must be time for the latest blog by BBC Devon’s Vic Morgan. Great start to the season: two games, two wins and a striker bang in form. How many of us felt that might be the case in the first week? It’s an odd trait of being a Town fan that the

It’s Friday, so it must be time for the latest blog by BBC Devon’s Vic Morgan. It all ended rather tamely didn’t it? Our chances of the play offs finally disappeared in a blur of red and yellow cards on the Meadow Lane swamp… Pre-match the main topic of conversation was the constant watering of the pitch. It seemed amazing

It’s Friday, so it must be time for the latest blog by BBC Devon’s Vic Morgan. Two wins out of two and the play offs remain an outside possibility with just two Saturdays of the season to go. The first victory came bizarrely at Northampton against Coventry City. I found it difficult though out Friday’s game to remember we were

It’s Friday, so it must be time for the latest blog by BBC Devon’s Vic Morgan. It was a great game wasn’t it? Maybe not one for the purists but last Saturday’s match against Brentford was a full blooded affair. Full of incident, I think it was one of my favourite games of the season. It also saw the return
