Ron Smith is joined by Alex Cooke and Brendan Hobbs in this depressing new episode. We talk about if Swindon are signing too many players from Lee Power’s mates, the relegation fight and why the defeat against Oxford is all Brendan’s fault. As was the rise of Bristol City and Reading. Samples are by Blur ‘Parklife’ and Chopin’s Funeral March. All rights belong to original copyright holders. So enjoy it. Sounds good, huh?

With the start of the 2015/16 season only days away the four are at the Roaring Donkey to discuss:

• Town’s form throughout the pre-season friendlies, including Sunday’s defeat at home to Liverpool;
• Your questions on player recruitment strategies and what is Michael Standing’s role at the club?
• A local media perspective on the club’s ‘new media arrangements’ which has led to restrictions on media access and the introduction of Fanzai; and
• Their predictions for the season ahead.

As part of our ‘Support the Future, Support the Present’ day, we travelled to Stanley Park Football Ground in Chippenham to watch Swindon Town u18s versus AFC Bournemouth u18s.

Ron Smith is joined at HT and FT by Sam Morshead, Daniel Hunt and Adam Tanner to review the Town’s youth system and the match.

The game finished as a 2-3 defeat for Swindon. Town were 0-3 down at half time and recovered some pride with goals from Josh Cooke and Amir Gied. At the final whistle Will Randall and Lee Marshall were both sent off, seemingly for dissent.
