The Kingsland stand is sold out. So it should be a decent crowd.

 

No its not as i have just got my tickets.

They have only opened the kingsland centre and the northam. The itchen and chapel are both shut.I was told i may be able to move seats into the kingsland north tomorrow if they start opening those blocks.

Well me and my mates went up and asked the bird for kingsland tickets and she said they've all gone, so we went in the Northam. what parts of the Kingsland are open I couldn't tell you.

Got the same response this afternoon. Two lost sales then - nipper would be a bit nervous in the Northam and I respect fans' rights to enjoy themselves, so wouldn't inflict a sensitive kid on them.

 

Really feel like the club is going the wrong direction.

 

Radio Solent it is, then, tomorrow night.

Away from ticket news what sort of squad do you reckon we'll see tonight? All out for a win or rest a couple of players? Personally I'd go for a strong attacking line up - or at least as strong as possible with Lallana injued - but rest a couple of players at the back.

 

------------------Bart

Butterfield---Martin---Jaidi-----Dickson

---------------Hammond

--Puncheon-----Guly-----Mills

---------Lambert---Barnard

 

I think the performance tonight will be critical in terms of resolving the manager situation. Thrash Swindon and Wilkins will get another game or 2, anything else and all systems go to get a new manager at least watching from the stands on Saturday.

That's a shame, they really should be marketing these games for the kids.

 

£12 a ticket is a rip off really, remember last season they where banging on about all JPT tickets being a fiver? that didn't last long at all.

I'd love to see a copy of their paper tomorrow after reading how they plan to beat the ban! http://www.swindonadvertiser.co.uk/sport/sportlatest/8361165.How_we_ll_get_around_the_Saints_photo_ban/?

 

Im going for a 3-1 win tonight! Feeling confident that they will put in a performance and help out Wilkins & Hunter.

Butterfield - Fonte - Martin - Harding

 

Chamberlain - Guly - Hammond - Dickson

 

Lambert - Barnard

It will be interesting to see if Wilkins tries to make his mark on the team by including some you wouldn't expect in the starting line up. Mills on the left, Bart in goal. I know some of it could be put down to it being the JPT but coaches see things differently in training from others. Just look at McDonald at Villa putting some young players straight in. McNish in the middle maybe. Wait and see I guess.

Just checked if there are any Kingsland tickets on the online and there appears to be plenty of them, i'd give them a call if I were you.

We at the Advertiser have put our thinking caps on over the last couple of weeks and come up with a way to ensure we can provide action from the game without lining the pockets of a clearly greedy club.

So get your hands on a copy of the Advertiser tomorrow to see how we cover the match and, hopefully, Swindon’s first win of the season.

 

Hot air balloon perhaps....? Radio controlled helicopter?

I wonder if there's any restrictions placed on fans taking pictures inside the stadium and the local paper using those? Would seem a good way around the ban and also a good way to engage with the local readers.

4000?! ****ing hell wouldn't have bothered getting a ticket if I knew it would be so dead.

 

Going to be a great game =/

 

It is really sad mate, but ultimately it had to happen to send a signal to whoever sets the prices for these games that without decent offers and good marketing they will not attract the crowds.

 

we had double that last year for Torquay game, think it was £5 for season ticket holders with no ticket tax, so it is more than a 100% increase in price this year.

 

hopefully if we get through some more sensible pricing can be used, or get an away draw somewhere where a small crowd doesnt look so bad

Or maybe one of the coaching or playing staff on the bench? They could even disguise a photographer in a tracksuit I guess. Not sure if there's much Cortese could do about Swindon 'sporting staff' taking photographs from the bench....?

 

Or maybe the players will have little pin hole cameras embroidered into their shirt badges....?

 

Or.....

Feel cheated now Pardew has gone, if the price of the tickets and boat fare to see them play wasn't enough this adds insult to injury sacking the Manager and backroom staff before we play a game to defend our only saving grace from last season. I for one really can see Swindon beating is tonight.
