Here I'll be sharing my opinion on everything Swindon Town. I've watched them constantly for years, and have seen so many great players wear a Town shirt like Fjortoft, Horlock, Taylor and Parkin and many more, and some not so great players, Thorpe, Brayley and Duke to name a few! But that’s what its all about, That's why we all love football, because you never know how its going to turn out especially at Swindon Town.

When people go to look at the history of Swindon Town in the future 2011 isn’t a year that you’d spend lots of time reading about.
After 12 weeks, 27 goals scored, 9 against and unbeaten in 15 games the run finally came to an end at Plainmoor to make it a drab Boxing Day for Town fans.
On Saturday before we watched Town in league action we got the chance to acknowledge some past greats that have played at the County Ground.
One of the worst emotions a football fan can go though is conceding a last minute goal on an away day, and unfortunately if you made the trip to Bristol you know exactly what I mean.
After Tuesday night Town are now only 180 minutes away from returning to Wembley for the second time in three seasons.
after playing some easier opposition recently Town have a few tricky league fixtures coming up in December.
