Red Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Get up in the covered always a good atmosphere, and you stay dry in case of wet weather, But even when the tickets sell out, any other part of the ground will do As long as you dont like breaking seats!

Bar BS3 Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Our lot are going in the Arkells. Few extra ££ but its covered, better view and last time I sat there we won 3-0. Also the bonus of not having the EE idiot Kids singing out of tune and talking utter moronic garbage all match. It's only about 10 of them, but they really do ruin away games. PS. If you are one of them, then please sit in the Stratton Bank.! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mighty Squirrel Kingdom Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Depends on the weather and what kind of view you want. The Stratton Bank is OK if it's dry and you don't mind being behind the goal - it's the one that always looks as if there's no-one in it whenever Swindle are on telly, The Arkells is a traditional type of wing stand although I seem to remember the wooden tip up seats are a bit on the small side...but that could be because I've got a big *rse.

Cider red Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Got mine in the Stratton last week, think that's where the main atmosphere and congregation of fans will be to be honest, a couple good results in the next 2 and we will sell out no problems Edit: I've never understood why they don't just put a temporary roof on the Stratton end, cant be very expensive, didn't pompy do something similar?

When buying the tickets at the city shop they said they didn't have a seating plan so they weren't able to give me tickets behind the goal which I wanted.

No ones knocking your support, the size of it or your loyalty. Its just that like Norwich, Southampton etc. whilst you may have some dedicated fans, Swindon is one of the least intimidating I've been too and you should be proudof that! No one likes New Cross for heavens sake. I've been going to Swindon away since the early 90's and my mates have got to the point where it's like a Jolly boys outing, like Bournemouth away. Its never our intention to scare anybody actually. Infact it's nice to go somewhere where you can get there early, go where you want, do what you want and not feel in the slightest bit threatened.
