County Ground Uncut

Check out this great video As you may be aware, these videos film matchday action from a different perspective, https://bit.ly/35OYVnz, and really give a different insight into the games and goals a different perspective to the game. These videos have been filmed by students at Solent University for no charge; however, we have just agreed to sponsor these videos because we don’t want them to stop and were happy to help them out to at least cover their travelling expenses.

STFC Supporter Groups recognises outstanding contribution

After 56 years of service to STFC of ex safety steward Douglas Coombs with presentation of award

  

The TrustSTFC and Official Supporters Club (OSC) recently learnt of the magnificent achievement of Club Safety Officer/Steward Douglas Coombs in that he has clocked up an impressive 56 years’ service to the football club as initially a steward starting in 1964, and having retired recently as a club safety manager in Nov 2020. One of the significant achievements that Doug achieved in the mid 80s was that of setting up and running the match day control room as well as many other initiatives over this period. Doug over the years was also responsible for looking after the VIP guests visiting the ground and has met famous faces such as George Best to name just one.


  

Both supporter groups were extremely disappointed to learn that there was no formal club recognition of Doug’s huge efforts and dedication to the club over these years and have therefore decided to honour Doug and thank him for all his hard work by presenting him with both a Town Hero trophy/award and Paolo Di Canio picture, as this was his favourite Swindon manager over the period he was involved with the club. Shown in the attached picture is Doug receiving his award and picture from James Spencer and Hannah Cinch at the County Ground.

  

On receiving the award Doug commented: “I am absolutely delighted with the award and picture for which I greatly appreciate the support of the TrustSTFC and Official Supporters Club in taking the time to recognize my efforts, all I wanted was a thank you from the club but unfortunately that wasn’t forthcoming”.


Both supporter groups would like to go on record and thank Doug for all his dedication and hard work over those 56 years, and wish him and his family a very happy Christmas and new year.

STFC Community Christmas Parcels Deliveries

image975

Ahead of the festive period, we’ve teamed up with STFC Community Foundation to provide

Christmas parcels to 100 vulnerable fans. A group of volunteers from both the Foundation

and OSC have lined up to make deliveries in Swindon on Tuesday 22nd December.

We originally tried to send out traditional Christmas dinners, but this proved impossible,

so instead they have got a package of Christmas treats and some goodies that we are sure will

bring a little relief to these testing times.

On the same evening the Foundation will be running a Q&A with management and staff

from STFC, and they’ll have a short, fun pub quiz to test out the fans on all things STFC,

once again using the Zoom annual subscription that the OSC purchased for the

Foundation.

Flags on the Stratton Bank

Before lockdown 2.0 we were also putting up fans’ flags on the Stratton Bank, to show the players our support while we can’t be in the ground. Thank you to everyone who has volunteered from the OSC, GWReds and Trust STFC to help with this! 

To the left is a picture of Pete, Hannah, Mark and Jay Collett, who were out hanging flags on a VERY wet and windy Saturday, before the visit of Hull City. 

If anyone has a flag that they’d like us to hang out for the next home game that we are allowed in the ground, please get in touch!

Red & White for the FGR game!

The Official Supporters Club, TrustSTFC & GW Reds joint fan display

For Saturday's visit of Forest Green Rovers to the County Ground, three Swindon Town Supporters Groups have joined forces to colour the ground RED and WHITE when the teams walk out onto the pitch at 14:55!


The STFC Official Supporters Club, TrustSTFC and Great Western Reds have come together to help push the boys on to what has the potential to be a great end to the season.


The aim of this 'Tifo' is to energise the County Ground faithful ahead of another crucial game in Town's League 2 promotion bid (or dare we say title chase?). 


Let's make it another brilliant home game to remember for Richie Wellens' men!


This has been jointly organised and funded by all three supporter groups and we hope you like it and have a great day supporting the boys!

Rockin' Robin is back!

Joint OSC and TrustSTFC statement

We all love our dancing and mischievous Rockin' Robin mascot at Swindon Town home games where he brings great pleasure to Town fans, especially the Junior Robins, with his dancing and engagement with fans.  


Rockin' Robin has been dreadfully missed the last few home games and there is a reason for him not showing off his dancing during this period. 


No, he hasn’t flown away to mate for the winter or run off with his girlfriend to get married; simply the suit he wears has unfortunately fallen apart and is now unusable and unrepairable. 


The current suit is over 7 years old and has been looking its age recently and prior to Christmas it finally fell apart. 


The TrustSTFC and The Official Supporters Club therefore contacted the club and offered and agreed to jointly fund the purchase of a brand new suit for our very own mascot.


The new suit design, largely in line with the current suit is shown above and has one new major addition to it; that being the design includes the ability for us to add the home shirt to the outfit each season for the Robin to be current and on brand for that season.


We are delighted with the new suit and we are all looking forward to seeing Rockin' at the next home game. 


The Trust and OSC would like to thank Danny Lee from the club for all his support and help in getting the new suit project over the line.


STFC Trust and Official Supporters Club.


Please contact either James Spencer at the TrustSTFC or Hannah Clinch at the Official Supporters Club for further details.

James Spencer from the TrustSTFC and Hannah Clinch from the OSC,  commented below on the project and new suit:


James said “We all felt that at the TrustSTFC we wanted to ensure our Swindon mascot was looking sharp and had a new suit to delight all his fans so we agreed with the Official Supporters Club that we would jointly fund a new suit for him, this is a significant investment for both sides but we really felt passionate that we wanted to do this to ensure Rockin was looking his best for his dance routines, we are delighted with the outcome”.


Hannah added “All of us at the Official Supporters Club had agreed that Rockin’ Robin has been looking a little worse for wear recently, so we’re pleased to have been able to join forces with TrustSTFC to fund a new suit to get him back out on the pitch, where he belongs! We hope you all like the new suit as much as we do! “

Senior Mascot Day

image997

Application period is now finished

For our final home game of last season, which

would have seen us face Leyton Orient, we had

purchased all eleven mascot packages and

gave fans over the age of 60 the opportunity to

apply to be one of our lucky eleven!

All 11 mascots were chosen, notified, and there

bios & photos were with the club, for publication

on the final programme of the season. We were

all really excited to see them both in hospitality

and on the pitch before the final game.

As this final game was lost, we’ll be looking to re-schedule this event once we can all return

safely to the County Ground. We realize that we could not cater for everyone nominated, 

but we do plan to run this event again, once we know when fans will return to the stadium.
