Manny’s team for Saturday,
McGowan.       Flores.

That's quite a turn around from your initial opinion of those two.
Have they exceeded your expectations, or are they just the best of a bad bunch in your opinion?

TBH mate McGowan has one really good performance and then a not so good one but I think he’s good enough, as for Flores the jury is out but I’ve seen a few bits of quality from him to give him a bit more time.

Swindon supporter says they have sold out their 946 south stand allocation but have been refused the extra 400 for the east stand. Presumably to the recent troubles caused at Stevenage.
Not sure of the thinking on this as the troublemakers could already have bought their tickets in the south.

If true it quite clearly illustrates the stadium is not even adequate for league two football and firmly puts a wax seal on the argument.

Whether it be due to the ridiculously small "stands" at either end or the poorly managed ticketing system it beggars belief. If just 1500 Swindon fans cant be accommodated when there is no reason to prevent paying customers attending is all the evidence you need.

For reference, I have a hotel which I manage myself, if I had rooms ready, and guests demanding to book yet I could not sell them I would quit and get a professional to take over as that's just about as bad as it gets. Whats the point in being in business?

This stadium through speculators, conmen and its total inadequacy has cost the club millions and almost sent it under, it should be buried under all the shit beneath, I'm beginning to think its cursed.

Lets face it, if the east stand was a facility intended to be used by thousands of lesbians, disabled people, children with learning difficulties or illegal immigrants rather than football fans it would've been completed years ago.

It does seem strange not giving the overflow part of the East Stand to the away fans. Maybe it's on Police advice, maybe it's down to inadequate management.

Good decision never allow any free space for Swindon fans. 900+ is more than enough😎

Are they able to pay on the gate?
It'd be a shame if the 'overflow was empty.

Can we now expect them to reduce our allocation when we play at the County Ground?

Not unless they can sell out without our presence. They surely would be more commercially savvy and maximize revenue.

No. We are the only ones stupid enough to turn away revenue.

With the overflow…does the club expect them to pay for the whole lot up front (as other clubs do) and therefore it was Swindon who turned down the additional 500?
Was it a police/safety instruction?
Does our club not have enough match day stewards to operate a ‘full stadium’?

Find it strange that no reason has been given for the decision to effectively turn away revenue.
