adethorne Posted 15 August, 2009 Share Posted 15 August, 2009 Went to ground today, no tickets left but told 400 will be delivered by courier for 9am monday. But i don't understand logic because that is still about 500 short of full allocation. Also as i live near swindon i have been informed that irrespective of seat number on ticket it will be free seating if we are 500 or more seats unsold which because of the lack of time and no sales on day at at swindon there will be. There will be a large police presence in town centre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Griffo Posted 16 August, 2009 Share Posted 16 August, 2009 I would like to ask if everyone could make an effort to stand for the 90 minutes . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yamms_schmitz Posted 16 August, 2009 Share Posted 16 August, 2009 Pub of choice is a wetherspoons in town called the groves company Inn. It is more or less on the way from the train station to the ground. From the pub just walk down Fleming way and 2 mins later you are at the ground. It is Steak night on Tuesday, so a few pints and a nice steak without breaking the bank. The Groves Company Inn 22–23 Fleet Street Swindon SN1 1RQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bungle Posted 17 August, 2009 Share Posted 17 August, 2009 I am going to go to the Glue Pot I think. Certainly not going to a sh*tty Wetherspoons, especially if it going to be filled with people in colours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were plenty standing in the first half an hour or so but I think people just couldn't be arsed after that as it was all pretty depressing.

The Fat Controller Posted 17 August, 2009 Share Posted 17 August, 2009 I doubt that the police will let use Weatherspoons to be honest as they never normally do. We will probably be directed to a pub called The Grove which is the opposite side of magic roudabout past the fire station. Wilts Old bill normally round up large numbers of away fans and escort them from the rail station to the County Ground Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Samuel Posted 17 August, 2009 Share Posted 17 August, 2009 If you're looking for a pub near the ground, apparently The Merlin is good, on Broad Road, just off the Magic Roundabout. I'm meeting some Swindon fans in there before the game, they say its home and away friendly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedAndWhite91 Posted 18 August, 2009 Share Posted 18 August, 2009 Get the train? Can't cost much more than the fuel there & back will. Recently got a train from Winchester to Chippenham. Chippenham is the next stop 15 minutes after the Swindon stop and I had to change at Reading. It cost £35 for an off-peak return. So I reckon it would be around that price.
