Remember going there in 96...fa cup 2nd round i think.
One of my mates noticed not many City fans were watching the football.
We left when we were 2 down with 5 mins left.
As we walked by the ground, a Swindon kid asked us if there was going to be a riot...we just laughed.
Fast forward a week...on radio 5 live phone in, a Swindon fan rang up and asked if there was a blanket ban on reporting trouble.
He said after the game the scum Cardiff fans ran through their town centre kicking all the windows in...suggesting there was a ban because the euros were later that year in England.
He said it wasn't even in the local Swindon paper...makes you think
This equivalent game last season (against Southampton) wasn by some distance the best game of the season really.
I hope we put out a good team and win. A bit of a cup run and a big home game would do us all good
The equivalent last year was Bristol Rovers.
My first ever away game Swindon boxing day 1975.
We were 3 nil down before we got in the ground. I should have given up then !
Okay fair enough, that's right, but I mean an early league cup game at home still. 👍Quote:

Excited to come here are they? Maybe never been to the CCS? Like many others will probably sing “your not cardiff anymore”:hehe:
He was some player. Wasn't he in the the Swindon side that won the League Cup?Quote:

Swindon have never played at CCS so I would imagine it's going to be a priority away game for many of their fans. New ground, fairly local.Quote:
