Our next game, tickets are on sale, thought we’d get more than 500 turning up though considering how big the game could be and it being close to our London contingent. Any news on how many have been sold/whether it’ll be pay on the door or it’s all ticket etc?

Think its 500 tickets to sell plus on the day sales for exiles

I quite fancy us getting something from Swindon - they've only won one of their last 9

Sneaky win??
I'll take a 1-0 win to the mighty mariners.

Swindon score freely, but concede as many. Depends what sort of day they have i suppose.

Swindon had a man sent off today, so presumably he'll be suspended for next Saturday. Every little helps!

Last 9 games they’ve scored 10 Ginny.

They are in terrible form and not as free scoring as they maybe where earlier in the season.

Cheers! Seems like a good time to play them then. We did ok at Wycombe, so no reason we can't at least give them a game.

Defender Menayese on loan from Bristol Rovers, sent off for 2nd bookable offence.

Jackson will start so hopefully we play to his strengths and he will score the goal we need. He gets into great positions and the coach has got to get them to find him with the right passes

Decided to go, already have train tickets to London, anyone know the cheapest tickets (breaking route etc) on to Swindon?

Hell man.  :)

I don't think they've won since the orange one took over.

The only cheap way to do it is to get the National Express coach from Victoria but it takes over 2 hours each way.

I've had a look at this.  If you go to splitticketing.co.uk, it looks as if there's a marginal saving (from £47.90 to £46.00) by buying separate London-Reading and Reading-Swindon tickets. Journey takes about an hour.

If you don't mind taking rather longer travelling to save a bit of cash, you could go

12.22 Paddington -> Oxford 13.20 (£8.50 single)
13.37 Oxford -> Swindon 14.29 (change at Didcot) (£11.60 return)
17.11 Swindon -> Oxford 18.16 (change at Didcot)
18.31 Oxford -> Paddington 19.26 (£5.40 single)

Total £25.50

So you can save about £22 if you don't mind taking twice as long getting to/from London (NB some of the tickets are "limited availability" so buy in advance if you plan to do this).

Or you can go with National Express coaches for £13 but it takes 2h15 and you're at the mercy of traffic!

This site will always work out the cheapest route unlike virtually all the company web sites and rip off sites like TrainLine

Thanks for that......

We are on the 12.22 from Paddington to Oxford, but we are leaving the train at Reading for train to Swindon. On return we go Swindon to Reading on 17.31 train an then pick up the  Oxford to Paddington train at Reading.

This way we got back in Paddington at 18.59 which give us 49 minutes to get to Kings Cross.   Worked out £24 each with TwoTogether Railcard.

Say hello if you see us (Me, GollyGTFC, and grandson).

all electric trains cancell3d from Paddington(No drivers!). !!!! We are on a train as far as Reading. Should get there but how we get back will be a problem.
