@mrchrishull Sorry, what purpose do you serve?

[Ben Morling @ben__morling]

What time does this start on Wednesday @Official_STFC ?

Looking forward to an enjoyable, open, transparent, definitely not scripted, evening 😊

On February 16, a fans' forum was announced for the Legends Lounge on April 29.

It is April 27.

Multiple sources have indicated to me over the past month that this won't take place.

I'd presumed there'd be some comms to avoid anyone turning up to a locked door. Like many others, I'd been waiting for that.

It hasn't come, so if you or someone you know has made arrangements to go (including, as I did, around childcare), please don't find yourself out of pocket or having made an unnecessary trip.

The ongoing situation with the Town End, the source of much of the CG's atmosphere for decades, is nothing short of a scandal at this point.

Imagine the fallout if this was the Fratton End, the Blackthorn Terrace, the Kop at Meadow Lane or any other of the many, many similar home ends up and down the EFL.

Like getting thrown out of competitions, Clem Morfuni's #STFC are uniquely incompetent, and trailblazing in the contempt they show their own fans.

As a first step to create pressure towards delivering a resolution, yesterday we submitted an FOI request to @swindoncouncil to try and validate the previously stated claims that they are behind the draconian and self-damaging policies the club are continuing to enforce.

Holloway: “We need to stick together”

Also Holloway: Straight down the tunnel at full time, ignoring the 1200 noisy travelling fans.

Such an easy tap in to generate positive energy with the fan base.

Doesn’t help himself. #STFC

And identifying the common themes and putting about an action plan to try and improve matters. Some are easily fixed, some not. Well done to @dphunt88

However, as is the case in the responses, is there an appetite from the club to fix? I am doubtful.

[ymmot reltub @tommyb1508]

Just want to highlight something on here tonight, @dphunt88 has done more research and engagement as to what are the main causes of lack of interest and attendance figures in a few hours than the club have done in years. The club should be actively reviewing every response.. 1/2

[Daniel Hunt 🧡 #ClemItsTime @dphunt88]

#STFC are 3rd in League 2, won 17 games out of 30, strong home record, top manager, & likeable squad. So, why were there only 6,745 Town fans inside the County Ground watching it? Total attendance of 7,183 was lowest of the season. Lower than all the midweeks!

@talkinghawes @KieranMaguire make it make sense?!

[Ben Morling @ben__morling]

@LoathedStranger @TrustSTFC Who are the other parties the club is partnering with for retail operations this season?

[Ben Morling @ben__morling]

@TrustSTFC You understand? Does that mean you’re in dialogue with them about it or hearing it on the grapevine? You’ve had a while to provide more clarity

[Ben Morling @ben__morling]

It looks pretty clear the general consensus is against these redevelopments, and also pretty clear that the club have no intention of taking supporter feedback/questions on board to try and sway them.

Interesting times ahead.

[thespiritof69 @so69fangroup]

We'd highly encourage all #STFC fans to read @TrustSTFC's report this morning.

Clear takeaways from us;

🔶 The club are asking for a binary Yes/No vote on plans that have no legal assurance that they won't significantly change after the vote. Present snazzy plans, get the vote, water them down and never deliver as promised. Morfuni et al don't exactly have the best track record on delivering against promises.

🔶 They're also still asking for a Yes/No vote with no clarity on funding, with one of the options committed to simply being "owe Morfuni more money" and make us technically insolvent. Presumably it's tough to lend from usual channels due to the club's awful credit rating and CCJ history.

🔶 And the business plan has never been properly presented; back-of-fag-packet suggestions of six years to break even is pie-in-the-sky stuff.

All indicators suggest they won't get the vote this time, but will that stop them from pushing ahead, and at what cost?

A question for @TrustSTFC and @Official_STFC; are there contractual mechanisms within the JV terms to force this through without the Trust's vote? Is that a remote risk?

@LoathedStranger Cancelled each other out in the first half, the penalty gave us confidence going into the second half. Very solid after the break and clinical with our chances. If only…

Freckleton MOTM - goal and assist and generally very assured. Honourable mentions to Glatzel and Nichols.

[Sky Bet League Two @SkyBetLeagueTwo]

Plenty to smile about for Ian Holloway's @Official_STFC 😃

They've now won four consecutive league games for the first time since May 2022, climbing to 14th in #SkyBetLeagueTwo! 👏

Start of the Swindon Town protest march. Now onto Statue Park to meet the rest.

[Ben Morling @ben__morling]

@LoathedStranger The lowest point in our club’s history and struggling to see how we turn it around. Very dark times.

[Ben Morling @ben__morling]

@Official_STFC @STFCSupClub @STFCMuseum The perfect gift would be Clem selling the club. We’ve had enough can kicking and bs.

#ClemItsTime 🍊

[Ben Morling @ben__morling]

@Official_STFC No mention of any succession plan, just the same copy and paste job wishing him well in his future endeavours. Amateur.

#ClemItsTime 🍊

[Ben Morling @ben__morling]

#ClemItsTime to go.

[thespiritof69 @so69fangroup]

Today we call on #STFC fans to unite.

Clem Morfuni is provably incompetent; he is not capable of running our football club & should welcome interest from those who may be.

This is our STFC community, united and fighting for our STFC.

Stand with us & show #ClemItsTime to sell.
