These Gillingham defenders like a New Year cuddle

A lot of talk about #STFC calendar year stats, so have added them as permanent pages to the site - see the full list on Stat Attack here: townenders.com/stat_selecto... Should also be noted that STFC Women also had one of their greatest calendar years in history!

Perfect hat-trick from Drinaldo today... right-footed penalty, header from the corner, left-footed lob from distance... Impressive! #STFC

That wasn't very Scotlandy, Scotland!

Did that commentator seriously just say that we scrambled a point from that?!

With thanks to @dannycole1981.bsky.social for locating old newspapers, we have unearthed the missing first two seasons of #STFC Women's results - now just a handful of sporadic results to track down!

I don't have the first couple of seasons of results, but according to my records, @SwindonTownWFC are on a record equalling run of 11 consecutive victories in all competitions. #STFC #STWFC townenders.com/stat_match_c...

Normal service resumed on TownEnders.com after a couple of weeks away... this doesn't look too bad, does it? #STFC

Jamie Knight-Lebel has already worn an #STFC shirt - he was one of six Bristol City players that swapped sides in the bizarre 120 minute friendly match a couple of years ago that "Swindon" lost 7-1. townenders.com/match.php?ma...

Swindon Town 1968-69 Football League Cup Winners print, going out in the post tomorrow! 📬⚽ This print was a request and an example of how niche a squad I can take requests for (providing the stats are available!) Thanks to the great @townenders.com who helped to identify the best formation 🤝

I always try to add a couple of new features to the site over the summer... slightly belatedly this year, a short thread of recent additions to TownEnders.com ... #STFC 🧵(1/4)

Do they do seats? #STFC

What on earth kind of defending was that?!

There's a team missing from this, and another one that shouldn't be there. #robbed

OK, so here’s my JJ Abrams story… Before I started working in digital restoration one of my primary jobs in post-production support was running the in-house theater and screening rooms at work. Every now and again it would get booked for casting sessions, because it was perfectly suited for that…

Your player profile of the night is a Match maker (form an orderly queue singles) This week - Paul Hart of Leeds United Wants to meet the President..... (From Match - 26/07/1980) #Match #MatchMagazine #LeedsUnited #lufc

Auckland City, ranked 4,971st in the world according to the Opta Power Rankings, secured a 1-1 draw with Boca Juniors, ranked 152nd, at the FIFA Club World Cup. That's the equivalent of Cove Rangers of Scottish League One (4,844th) drawing with Juventus (25th). 🤯 #CWC2025

People ask why I do this instead of getting a life. It's because you start out looking for a one-game "A" team footballer and end up spending half an hour reading up on the 1938 Markham Colliery disaster, which Donald Linathan survived, but his brother Felix didn't.

By 1991, the Player profile was a "secret side of...." This week: Duncan Shearer of Swindon Even in 1991, long coach trips were still an issue (From Shoot! - 16/11/1991) #shoot #shootmagazine #SwindonTown #stfc

The commentator literally just said "the hype is growing." Followed by "the atmosphere is beginning to build." Erm... #FIFACWC

Here’s @davidsquires.bsky.social on the Copa Gianni. With added Speed, Carry On Camping and a real kicker

Yesterday was Lou Macari’s 76th birthday. With the rumours of Becks getting a knighthood I hope that Lou also finally gets the recognition he deserves. For nearly a decade he’s been providing emergency accommodation for the homeless & continues to do so.

Francesco Totti, 48 years old but still with magic in his boots, has just done this. THE KING IS ALIVE.

Congratulations to York Railway Institute Ladies FC who managed to comfortably avoid relegation this year, despite posting a whopping -4 points

Wow! 💯

Good to see Ooh Shaun Taylor get a mention in the play off final - the stat is complete horse shit though (he was 30, not 20 😂) #STFC

I remember #STFC scoring five past Sunderland while they were wearing that kit townenders.com/match.php?ma...

Watching the York vs Oldham play-off game... the away fans have just started singing "Oh When The Bluuuues.... Go Marching In", and I discovered I still get flashbacks to 2014!

This is why we love grassroots football. This weekend, 13-year-old Harry came on in his first game for Lostock Hall for 11 months after being diagnosed with leukemia and spending the year battling it. With the score 3-3, he immediately scored the winner with his first touch. You cannot beat that.

Amen to this!!

If Holloway is so concerned about #STFC attendances, he'd have been better off keeping us down near the relegation zone instead of propelling us to midtable mediocrity - crowds are always bigger when there is something to play for over dead rubbers!! e.g. Carlisle.

😱 All action in the National League South play offs. Boreham Wood’s, Femi Ilesanmi scored 2 own goals and then netted the 96th minute winner!!

Fun fact: Neil Ruddock's debut for Swindon Town was delayed by the club's failure to locate shorts big enough to cover his megalithic arse

Today was #STFC 's 500th 1-1 draw in regular season EFL matches... by far and away our most frequent result - next most frequent is a 0-1 defeat (352 matches) and a 1-0 win (340 matches). #bringingyouthestatsthatmatter

Bit late to the party with this one, but the Fleetwood and Grimsby run was the first time that #STFC won consecutive away games by four or more goals. Three goal away consecutive wins have only occurred four times, in April 2004, March 1986, Sept 1946 (5-1 & 4-1), & Nov 1909.

I'll settle for the same result as the last time Bromley visited the CG today... townenders.com/match.php?ma...

Great Meaningless Stats of our Time: Chesterfield have won only one of the ten FL games this season in which they have declined to use all five substitutes.

I had no idea, but it's true... That's our thirteenth Good Friday away game on the bounce without defeat, since 1972. Six wins, seven draws.

This pitch 🤦

Three wins on the trot has taken #STFC's chances of a play-off spot from over 10000/1 to around 900/1 (not that you'll get those odds at a bookie), but how many points *might* do it?

#STFC's last 5-4 victory was over 100 years ago, in December 1922 vs. Aberdare Athletic. The only other 5-4 victory for the Town was away at Charlton... also in 1922. townenders.com/match.php?ma... townenders.com/match.php?ma...

I'd be livid if I was a Bradford fan today... in the second half they defended like they'd had two players sent off, not one. So unnecessarily deep - we had so many attacking players on the pitch, I'm certain they would have scored more being more attacking than they were. What a game though! #STFC

I bet he uses Timotei

Hands off me Booty, foul scavenger! These 'ere are my floppies! I heard ye was a filthy pirate back in the day? Tag a fellow landlubber and share this post, or ye will be cursed with the dreaded black spot! #Amiga🐒☠️🔊🎶

Just had a go at that latest AI trend: Action Figure in a Box. Perfect.
