Although of course, correlation does not imply causation. Every Brighton resident's favourite subject is Brighton (the place) and they've got more plastics than you can shake a stick at. When talking of clubs, and the local pride in one's surroundings, you only need look to Brighton. And regeneration, to me, is something the club requires to grow it's fanbase and improve the general populace's feeling towards the club. I know there aren't many examples of this, but we do have many reasons to compare ourselves to Reading. Reading, amongst others, had decent and effective regeneration, therefore giving the town some level of civic pride and, I believe, that good feeling has had a knock on effect on the football club. Sure, most of us will defend the town, in the face of opposition, but amongst ourselves, most will slate it to high heaven. The centre is a shell of a shit hole and it's not a nice place, easy place, or pleasant place to go.Īs a result of this there's little to no civic pride in Swindon. I know I like to hate the council, so I'll refrain here, but the town has deteriorated and deteriorated. I raised a point a long time ago, and stated that (I'm trying not to be negative here) Swindon has become rather run down - to put in kindly. Swansea and Reading only began their rise once they moved to their new homes. It'll be a longer project and would probably mean less excitement on the pitch for a sustained period but it's what happens once the target is achieved. I still feel that the last point exists widely amongst local residents here although less so since the current board took over. Get the club's rep back into this Town's good books rather than seeing people comment saying "Swindon are rubbish" or "Why on earth do you support Swindon they're a joke" etc. Get a new stadium sorted, get a scouting network and proper youth system going. I think we need someone who is prepared to help progress us but in a slower manner as opposed to going gun ho and spending big in the hope for instant promotions. I'd rather new investors invest in new facilities and infrastructure as opposed to signings. Post by: Iffy's Onion Bhaji on Tuesday, January 22, 2013, 20:37:32

Not because I want the club to be permanently bankrolled by a benefactor, but because I can see that its full potential to sustain itself and tap in to the local market has not yet been unlocked. We are sweating that particular asset to the point of dehydration.) I thought we had turned the corner in the last few years.and still hoping that the story has a happy ending. (You only have to look at the ground to see this.
The truth is that, at Swindon, there has been huge underinvestment in the last few decades. All I want is some investment in the club and its infrastructure to enable it to reach its potential.as has happened at the clubs you mention. God knows, that will take plenty.Ībsolutely agree. Just spend enough to make us sustainable, a la Reading/Swansea. Surely even Man U or Chelsea fans must wonder what will happen if/when their owners bail out / go to prison / die.
