New consortium want to work with Di Canio (From The Wiltshire Gazette and Herald)

This day shall gentle his condition;
And gentlemen in Swindon now-a-bed

And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us this Saturday!

Still no news at this time is good news.
You would feel all should go ok now or at least we all hope it does.
For sayings sake if the FL give the new investors the knock back surely it would be worth AB to fund the club for the last part of the season and just maybe have a Championship Club to SELL.
No guess me dreaming again but who know´s 3rd in table 2 points adrift from top 2 with way better goal average.Still it´s wait and see,again well done to the 300 who made the away trip on a cold cold Tuesday night and is an awful place to get to from Swindon.
Last time i went there was to meet up with a former Town Player Ray Bunkel we won that night 1-0 to avoid relegation oh those days.
As said to you all yesterday if your on the island on Hols come up and see us in Port de Soller will make you wellcome

Swill'd with the wild and wasteful ocean.
Now set the teeth and stretch the nostril wide,
Hold hard the breath and bend up every spirit
To his full height. On, on, you noblest Swindon Player.
Whose blood is fet from fathers of war-proof!
Fathers that, like so many Alexanders,
Have in these parts from morn till even fought
And sheathed their boots for lack of argument:
Dishonour not your mothers; now attest
That those whom you call'd fathers did beget you.
Be copy now to men of grosser blood,
And teach them how to play. And you, good defenders,
Whose limbs were made in England, show us here
The mettle of your pasture; let us swear
That you are worth your breeding; which I doubt not;
For there is none of you so mean and base,
That hath not noble lustre in your eyes.
I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips,
Straining upon the start. The game's afoot:
Follow your spirit, and upon this charge
Cry 'God for Paolo, Swindon, and Promotion!'

Sales are looking much better today with the club currently expecting between 9000 and 9500. Come on people do your bit!! Bring your Granny (and her best mate) They will understand that STFC need them more than Gala Saturday afternoon. Lets fill it for Paolo!!! What better message of unity and support than that? We must believe that we can make the difference. We may never get this chance again.......

Message from Sir Winston Churchill to Paolo and Jed and others-(Meeting today)

We are met together at a time when great exertions and a high constancy are required from all who cherish and sustain the Swindon cause.

Difficulties surround us and dangers threaten from this side and from that. Exultant enemies are gathering: weak friends are nervous or disheartened. Voices are raised in counsels, both equally unwise, of impatience or of lassitude.

From such a situation Paolo and the new Board, you may emerge triumphant, but to do that there will have to be, in leaders and in followers, shrewd clear plans of action, true stout-hearted comradeship, and unwearying determination!

In Paolo we trust! Be there Saturday and tell him "We are Swindon and we are going up"!

Would it not just be the best week end ever if we get the nod for the takeover, we find out that the consortium have some real money, Paolo has an agreeable meeting with the new owners & commits to the end of the season & the three or at least two players arrive at the County Ground.

Icing on the cake would be –
A full house (more than happy with 12,000) & victory against Hartlepool at The County Ground on Saturday.

I still haven't had an answer to my last question to guv, days ago. Mmmmm I wonder why?.

The answer - Swindon fans - is obvious.. Don't buy the Mirror or Sunday Mirror because you'll be helping to fund the same papers who've been stirring things up about PDC being pushed out..

Looking forward to Saturday as well. Don't manage to get to all the games, having lived in Spain for 8 years and now living away from Swindon, but I'll be there tomorrow with my 87 year old father. He was diagnosed with cancer over 2 years ago but has still managed to make virtually every game since then, apart from the last two home matches when he was back in hospital.

I am convinced that his love of all things STFC (me too!) has kept him going. I've already told him he has to at least hang on for the promotion party!!

Everyone should stand up with scarfs aloft on the 10 min mark as that is PDC shirt number.

Hi Wellsy, how spooky is that - I also support Swindon and Blackburn and to reply to Madterrier (6.22pm) I was born in Swindon and Dad/family from Blackburn so go and watch both teams when can.


And yes Venkys are not fit and proper but cannot describe them on a site like this which might possibly be read by children.

I think GUV and his mates may have to change the plans for their next meeting.

The Sun Inn at Coate Water have stopped serving faggots as they may be contaminated with horse meat and apologise for any inconvenience caused

I will have a word with gov at the sun inn next time i see him there. I have told him about winding people up. But he really does love STFC.

Of course you do and you know Mish mash mush as well don't you, as i read you would be meeting him in the pub,sun inn again is it? So so sad.

Good to read a thread with most people feeling a lot more optimistic,all we need now is for all the previously hooked fish to steer clear of Guv`s bait (little maggot),conformation that our new incoming owners are up to and up for the responsibility of running our great club with the help of our truly marvellous manager.Give me the news i'm ready to go on one and celebrate.

Steve,

I think GUV and his mates may have to change the plans for their next meeting.

The Sun Inn at Coate Water have stopped serving faggots as they may be contaminated with horse meat and apologise for any inconvenience caused

Just because he is gay and has been infiltrated by a horse it is no reason to not serve him.
;-)
I'm here all week!!

Looking forward to Saturday as well. Don't manage to get to all the games, having lived in Spain for 8 years and now living away from Swindon, but I'll be there tomorrow with my 87 year old father. He was diagnosed with cancer over 2 years ago but has still managed to make virtually every game since then, apart from the last two home matches when he was back in hospital.

I am convinced that his love of all things STFC (me too!) has kept him going. I've already told him he has to at least hang on for the promotion party!!

......Paolo, you have a duty to my father to see the job through - don't go!!

Well i hope you and your Father have a great day and that he gets to see his football club lift the league trophy,truly inspiring to know a man of his age that's fighting that horrible disease still finds the energy(or gets energy from it) to support his and our football team.Enjoy the game the pair of you.

8,000 Sold so far,come on get down and buy your tickets now!!!!!!!

...and 3 that I've just bought.

..
I always used to enjoy 'Grab a Granny' night at the Brunel Rooms - Saturday is MORE important than a quick one so GRAB A GRANNY A GRANDPA, AN UNCLEA, AUNT, yep...even the stranger down the end of the road

The biggest compliment you can pay Paolo and the team is (as many have mentioned above):
STAY UNTIL THE PLAYERS LEAVE THE PITCH!!!....HOLD YOUR SCARFS ALOFT AND CHANT FOR STFC AND PAOLO....
...Don't leave 5mins before because it save you 10 mins in the car or bus! .....stay and give the team and PAOLO every bit of support he can possibly get.
....
Let's see a SEA OF RED AND WHITE SCARFS at the end of the game tomorrow!!
...
COME ON STFC FANS!!!...just for one game at least!

Steve,

Very, very nice thoughts of yours to Onceared and his Father, who you and I would both understand. Very best wishes to both of them and I hope the snow stays away.

If it is really correct that the takeover cannot go through due to staff sickness at the Football League, that is nothing short of an absolute disgrace!!

This could delay, if not destroy the whole deal and ultimately put us in administration.

As an aside, it potentially sinks the loan deals and the Wright-Phillips lad from Charlton in particular, whose goals would take us to automatic promotion.

Yes, I'm surprised no one else has picked up on this, if it's true that the ratification process has been held up due to sickness at the FL it's really a poor show. They should have the wherewithal to carry on the League's essential processes.”
