[Albion] Rockin Robin - The Swindon mascot.

[Stat Brother]

So I finally have something to say that might be enjoyed.

Coming back from Manchester we shared our train carriage with half a dozen Swindon fans, including their mascot Rockin Robin (not FKW)
Unsurprisingly Mr Robin is a large and somewhat loquacious chap.
Jnr told him we are from Best Sussex, but Rockin didn't put two and two together, so The Albion didn't come up.
Instead Rockin was at FBSlim's Big Beach Boutique and it was 'the greatest day of my life', he was really enjoying telling my boy his stories from that night.

As that came to an end I prompted Jnr to ask Rockin "where were you on 20.05.2004?'

Rockin was somewhat perplexed.
Thinking hard it very, very, slowly dawned in him.

His whole face and demeanour changed until he finally let out a loud, slow, guttural:-

"Adam F##king Virgo".

In pure pavlovian fashion this caused all his mates to repeatedly say "Adam f##king Virgo".
All that could be heard, in our carriage, from Banbury to Oxford was "Adam f##king Virgo" - as well as me and Jnr killing ourselves laughing.

The last thing said to us was:-

"We used to play you every year - next week we've got Grimsby"
"Oh, next up for us we've got Ajax".
"Adam f##king Virgo".

"We used to play you every year - next week we've got Grimsby"
"Oh, next up for us we've got Ajax".
"Adam f##king Virgo".

Sounds like the lyrics to a song. Still you should have asked them where they were when Rohan Ince scored that goal.

I was sat just down from you in the same carriage and heard the whole conversation.
Your lad was wearing the East Preston top.

Genius.

And please step up the posts again. I love your dry, nay, desiccated observations and whimsy and, occasionally, rage

There is a lovely part-time butcher who works at Macknade in Faversham. Andy, his name is. Swindon town, man and boy. You can guess the rest.

Edit: when I first broached that subject I mentioned that I was at both those games. Andy said 'so was I'. Nothing more was said.
