My name is Dan Johnson, I'm 24 and live in Calne, Wiltshire. I come from a family that has supported Town for many years but the first game I went to was in 1995 at home to Portsmouth and I have been hooked ever since.
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.
A month after being crowned League Two Champions, the transfer market across all the football league is now starting to warm up with every day that goes by.
Like every season there have been some highs and some lows but when people look back on the 2011/12 season it will be remembered for a certain man’s first year in football management.
With just one game to go until we say goodbye to the 2011-2012 season, its time to look forward to Swindon being back in League One when it kicks off again on the 18th August.
After being the stand out team in League Two overall this season, Swindon deservedly earned promotion last Saturday back to League One at the first time of asking.
I now hope that after the players apologized yesterday, the whole event can now be put behind us and the club can concentrate on winning promotion against Gillingham.
After a week full of excitement and anticipation about tomorrow’s upcoming game against Plymouth Argyle, which we could see, Swindon promoted back to League One, some baffling news started to emerge from Kent on Wednesday.
After a disappointing result and performance at home to Bristol Rovers, Town returned to winning ways on Tuesday night beating Barnet 2-0 at Underhill.
Yesterday as Swindon and Chesterfield walked back out for the start of the second half at Wembley I turned to a friend and said, “this will finish 2-0 Town, no doubt”
It’s incredible that this season we are looking at a league and cup double after the club was on its knees a year ago.
This week at the County Ground it was great to see former Town young player of the year Lee Holmes return to Swindon to help the club win promotion back to League One.
Jeremy Wray and the board will have a very tough summer ahead of them trying to keep this successful team together.
“We will get revenge for the way they celebrated in the County Ground, that’s not a threat, it’s a promise”
