The double thickness red n purple one is from the 2012 champions season. I'm too tight to buy a new one. Good to see folk from Bstoke making the 90 mile round trip to Swindon. Also get fans from Bath Bristol Gloucester Chelts Oxford Reading Wales Southampton.

Perhaps they were too tight to buy one too as I've never seen one. :lol: At one time John was a Reading fan but also went to Oxford and Swindon. Now of course it's just Swindon.

When I first went I used to wear the scarf my Grandmother knitted together with a red coat with blue and white strips, appropriate rosette and a badge or two...oh and not forgetting the rattle!

Over the years there have been local derbies against Oxford, Reading, Bristol, Newport, Soton, sadly all gone. Used to watch speedway in London, at New Cross, Wimbledon, WHam, Ackney, in the 60s.

Swindon's derbies now against Poole and Somerset over 70 miles away. Cov was about 70.

Sadly those days have passed into history...unlikely to be resurrected more's the pity.

And Swindon will be history if they don't hurry up and build this bloody new stadium.

...as I believe Oxford will unless something drastic happens despite the full support of the local council.

Doesn't this apply? (Quote from Save Coventry Speedway newspaper article.)

 

The government guidelines are that if a sports stadium is built on then there is an obligation for a new stadium to be part of the planning process and a requirement for the developers to part-fund that stadium.”

Just a t-shirt, jeans, trainers and a coat, I seem fairly normal compaired to some of these, I sometimes wish that I would take a hoodie/scarf as well though. Come to Berwick if you want chanting

It's too far...what chanting do they have?...Morra, Morra, Morra oi oi oi! He does what he wants he does what he wants Lewis Bridger he does what he wants...Gappmaier whoa whoa whoa Gappmaier whoa whoa whoa. There should be more chanting and general leaping and jumping around, its like a morgue at Swindon sometimes. Perhaps I should start it...He wins when he wants Jason Doyle he wins when he wants...Go Go Bellego, and the Morra one.

They used to have 2468 who do we appreciate...ROBINS...ROBINS. Apart from a few pathetic fans shouting We Hate Oxford when they get off the train at Swindon after going to the Cardiff GP no chanting.
