See on the BBC tonight Swindle are up to their old tricks and trying to get out of paying their rent. The council say Swindle owe them £50k in rent and are going to court to get the money, Swindle say the grounds a dump and they have spent more then that on repairs so they shouldn't have to pay rent as well.
I would have thought as long as the ground maintains its safety certificate Swindon have no case, is it more of the old story of crowds down, money is short so lets rip someone off. |

I seen the story on the news last night the owner was right when he said the club had spent money on the ground put it this way if you lived in a council house would you fork out for a major repair ?

No, but then again the terms of the tenancy wouldn't oblige you to. According to Swindon BC, STFC are obliged to pay for the upkeep of the ground |

I grew up in Wootton Bassett so obviously it made sense to support Bristol Rovers.
Having to live so close to Swindon with its idiot fans has never been easy, especially now considering our position.
I've never come across a more crooked club.
