No need to laugh or gloat.
In 12 months time we could be playing them again as a league fixture

It's Swindon, it's history. Save your bile for Palace, Pompey, SCC, Leeds, I could go on.

I know someone who supports Welling.

Don't worry I have the same issue with P*l*c* fans. The big joke is though that despite being less than five miles from Smellworst there are more Millwall and Charlton fans (not to mention Chelsea) around me. Don't suppose you get much input from Bristol City or Rovers fans down there.

Don't they though, sideways moves and late play off goals not withstanding.

4,500 is good for League Two, so I'm not sure why your laughing. Do you suffer from short term memory lost?!

Forgive me for commenting on my second team, but I think maybe people are missing Manilla's point a little bit, because more than half of the 4,500 tickets sold were before the end of the season where fans were being charged less than £300 for a full adult season ticket. Not only do they not have to pay big numbers (as you wouldn't expect them to have to), but the board have spent a lot of time intergrating themselves with the local businesses, so along with the season ticket they get discounts at all sort of places. For example, 2 for 1 tickets at the cinema!
But it's very sad to start threads like this. I was talking to a Watford fan earlier, and we got to talking about the Carling Cup draw and how ironic it was that we'll be playing Gillingham at home in the first round. It wasn't that long ago we were in a league below Gillingham with the ambition of staying in the football league whilst ground sharing with them! And now here we are about to move into our new home, buying good players for big fees and selling 18,000 season tickets for Championship football. Anyone who thinks that gives us the right to mock teams less fortunate than ourselves is wrong in my opinion, and is just trying to use their association to a football club to make themselves feel better.
Football moves in cycles, we've gone through a bad one and now we're right in the grip of a very good one, doesn't mean we have to be smug about it.

I dont have a beef about Swindon at all, bloddy roundabouts pi*s me off a bit, but generally a good hunting ground for us, But saying that I do have a chuckle (only to myself) when I see the Fxiture for next season in League 2 as Swindon v Crawley Town!!!

That's the reason Manila started this thread, to quote several posters here, 'What short memories some people have'.
