none at stonehenge ....sadly I had to relieve myself against one of those standing stones.

That'll be the one that recently fell over!

I assume you are discounting the studio build up here where it will have been mentioned at least 3 or 4 times. Plus the commentator will mention it as the teams are walking out of the tunnel as they cut to an ad break.

No I was thinking once the match starts, the build up will have the full comparison graphics scrolling along the screen, too easy.

As a club, our history and culture is founded, in part, on the bogs at the back of the Kippax.

Don't remind me - once (and.' thank God, only once) I was desperate for a crap as i approached Maine Road for the game. I had no alternative but to use the bogs behind the Kippax.
It was unspeakably disgusting. It looked as if it hadn't been flushed since 1923, and there was no lock on the door. The floor was in a vile condition.
No paper, of course, but luckily I had some Kleenex in my pocket. I did the business, taking care not to hiccup for fear of siphoning the whole lot up. Nowhere to hang your coat.
It wouldn't flush properly, of course.
Pity the next bugger to go in.
Never again. Swindon can't surely be any worse that that.

Top confession that. Read like a soul cleansing.

Is that where you got your user name?

Can we have a sweep for the first mention of the cost of our team? I'll say 3 minutes into the game.

Come on, we'll not get through to an advert break, let alone the game kicking off.

Edit* just seen your later clarification post...I'm going for within the first 3 passes as the comm says ikkle Division 2 Swindon take on the multi multi millionaires and mercenaries from Manchester City.

I can't reveal how for fear of breaching anonymity guidelines....

Ar-soul cleansing was needed after visiting those bogs, I assure you....

I gather you Mancs are a superstitious lot...

A brilliant and witty ditty !
Good luck to Swindon Town in the League.
Understand you have had a huge amount of issues with dodgy owners.
Also one of the Stretford Sheridan brothers (John ?) was recently your manager ?
One of my first away games (to see Cardiff City) was at the County Ground in the late 60's.
Great atmosphere...

Just a word of advice for those heading to Wiltshire. Should you need the bathroom facility for anything other than pissing, go before the game or hang on. The facilities leave a little to be desired and have probably deteriorated since your last visit because they are rarely used. I'm only mentioning this because I think you're generally good people. If we'd drawn Bristol City, I wouldn't mention it.

Hi mate, I’ve not been to Swindon before so we thought we’d make a trip of it. I believe the Merlin is ok with away fans, are there any others that would be worth a visit?
