Ovalman Posted August 22, 2018 Report Share Posted August 22, 2018 54 minutes ago, Sidney the robin said: I would differ with the poor crowds considering they have held up quite well especially with it being World Cup year that was a bloody nuisance.Also with the uncertainty surrounding the club thing's could of been worse Lee Kilby doing a great job doing his best to push the club forward commercially. Lee is doing a great job as Commercial Manager. The crowds have been pretty good this year considering. But fixtures are too erratic. There's been some warm sunny evenings up on the Hill.. Just a pity they couldn't keep the early season form going. No Doyle was the biggest blow, and Morra has had a poor season. Batch the only top rider.

Pirate Rich Posted August 22, 2018 Report Share Posted August 22, 2018 I sincerely hope that The Robins are around for a long time to come, as an ex Oxford supporter I know the pain of losing your club. I support the Pirates now (don't think bad of me!) which means a trip of over 100 miles each way for me. Living in Bucks I used to have Oxford, Reading and Rye House all within about 30 miles, plus all the London clubs that are no longer with us.

I feel the same way Sid. With very little news about the redevelopment of the stadium and the new houses being so close I really can't see a long term future for the club. Regarding Doyley would love to have seen him at the Abbey again this year but they didn't want to shell out the bucks did they? I think he would have brought a few more punters in.

Would you carry on supporting Somerset Gresh if Swindon closed ? or would you just give up.I know it is a long shot but the only other option might be Oxford for us Swindon fans still a glimmer of hope there.

I'd probably opt for Somerset Sid, it's a fairly straight forward journey for me - as long as the M5 behaves! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a shame but I understand, having to swap teams doesn't seem right; even though I only saw them for one season I'm still a Bulldog at heart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted August 22, 2018 Report Share Posted August 22, 2018 Just had a chat with Terry Russell. He said thd back straight and bogs will soon be a pile of rubble. Then the main stand will be gone and they will have everything in place for the start of next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this a wind up or a genuine update, I know you will be at Poole tonight but us Robins fans are geneuonly worried about our future, that’s not down to Terry Russell but more so Stadia UK.

Steve Shovlar Posted August 22, 2018 Report Share Posted August 22, 2018 Gospel just chatted with him in the bar. Been good mates for a long time. He said that Osborne cant build the final stage until the stadium is done. Had a meeting in the ladt week or so. Seemed confident. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, although the Kilby, Richardson and Holloway roads were pretty well publicised before buildng started. It would be nice if the Ashby name could be included too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
