It finally happened, after weeks of nearly reaching the summit, Swindon Town now sit top of the League One table.

Honestly, I never thought I would need to write that sentence this season.

But, after a superb first half of the campaign, Mark Cooper’s side look down on the rest of League One.

Despite last weekend’s draw at Fleetwood lifting Town to the summit, there was an air of frustration that we didn’t come away with all the points after dominating the first half at Highbury Stadium.

But we’ve seen another loan arrival from the Premier League in John Swift and, once again, it looks like another great find from chairman Lee Power.

I look forward to seeing him in action over the coming month after hearing so many great things from Stamford Bridge by the people who predict to see Swift in the Chelsea first team one day.

Despite Town’s success on the pitch, a lot of talk has been focused on the dispute between the club and the council over Swindon’s failure to keep up with the rent of the County Ground.

Thankfully, on Monday, both parties came to an agreement.

But what does the future hold for Town and the County Ground, their home since 1896?

If that question did arise in the future, I would always vote to stay at the club’s current site.

Whenever you witness a club move away from its home, a part of that club is never the same again. You can try to add some homely touches, but something changes forever.
