    .
    All their "news" so far is coming from BBC Wiltshire Interviews
    .
    Do the adver not have access to anyone at the club to do their own?
    .
    They could easily look to speak to JW, PdC, the Fitness Coach or some of the players
    .
    At least then their fillers would actually be new
    Agree with that, there are plenty of topics the adver can focus on without feeding off the BBC.
    1. Season ticket sales, have we reached 5500
    2. Who are the our main rivals for div 1, when does the fixture list come out and who do we want first game.
    3 Ground development has gone quiet again, when are we going to see the plans.
    4 Arrivals and departure, squad numbers, will Wes take No 1 or stick with 33
    5 Will Stratton bank be open next season
    6 What do the fans think about us playing in red shirts and white shorts and who likes the second strip of light blue. (new red strip not on sale until July)
    7 Is Sam M on the plane to Italy like gary was last year. 18 days to go and we don't know who will be going yet.
    8 What's happening on the Tahue allegation with the FA
    9 how is it going with the new pitch with all this rain it should be knee high by now.
    10 When will Jeremy be announced as the chairman and who else is joining the board.

    A few ideas there for Sam to think about that might just generate a bit of interest or maybe not. Has he got ideas of his own, who knows."

Tug of war for Bostock

Tug of war for Bostock Tug of war for Bostock

SWINDON boss Paolo Di Canio is still confident of bringing former loanee Jay McEveley back to the County Ground, but admitted there are hurdles in the way of any potential deal for midfielder John Bostock.

The pair made their Swindon debuts in the Johnstone’s Paint Trophy final defeat to Chesterfield in March having joined the club on temporary deals, and both went on to play a part in Town’s League Two title victory.

Left back McEveley is available for free as he is at the end of his contract with Barnsley, while Swindon are pursuing another loan move for Tottenham midfielder Bostock, who still has another year to run on his deal at White Hart Lane.

Di Canio is continuing to work on a deal for McEveley, but believes the Premier League club’s desire for Bostock to spend pre-season with them could scupper any potential return.

“There are two different situations,” Di Canio said.

“With McEveley, we’re still in contact and I want to speak to him for different reasons. I want to keep him, he’s free, and there should be no problem with him.

“With Bostock the problem is only the pre-season because normally the top clubs want to keep the players for the pre-season and maybe give them a loan after the pre-season.”

Di Canio values pre-season preparation highly, and if a deal can be done he is keen for Bostock to prepare for the new campaign with the rest of his squad.

“To be honest, I don’t like this because now everybody knows the way we train and everybody knows for me it’s crucial - the first period of the season, where for 25 days you build not only the condition and the fitness but the way you play.

“Especially if you want to try to do something different with the player, to teach him how to prepare, to change maybe his position.

“If they don’t accept to give me the player before pre-season I find it difficult.

“Maybe in the future we can discuss about this but in my opinion I would have him before. In this moment we are talking with them and we’ll see what’s going on. I would like to have Bostock, I like him.”
