Fan vote on County Ground redevelopment set to take place around Easter. Here's where we're at, what happens next, timelines, and how things might play out. #stfc

From bottom of the EFL to manager of the month in less than 10 weeks. An in-depth look at how Ian Holloway has led a cultural and tactical transformation on the pitch at Swindon Town. #stfc

Protest returns to the County Ground this weekend, with concerns over potential clashes between different sets of Swindon supporters. Spirit of 69 organisers have called for all parties to be respectful.

Key absences for Swindon on Saturday, including Ollie Clarke and Gavin Kilkenny. Harrison Minturn "five to six weeks" away, according to Ian Holloway. Joel McGregor and Grant Hall back. George Cox out. #stfc

Swindon Town Advisory Board was due to take place this morning. Clem Morfuni and Anthony Hall have also met (separately) with Trust and Eady estate representatives this week. Morfuni will be at the County Ground for the Port Vale game. #stfc

What can Swindon Town fans expect from Connor Ripley? #stfc

New keeper at Swindon. Connor Ripley joins on deal until end of season after Port Vale contract was cancelled. It ends Ian Holloway's long search for an experienced number one - details of which are below. #stfc

Eight weeks' work concentrated in a 10-minute burst. On Tuesday night's comeback at the County Ground, and what it tells us about Ian Holloway's short reign. #stfc

Swindon Town have won six League Two away games since January 1, 2023. That's one every 126 days. Won't you think of the poor travelling fans. What's going wrong? And what's the solution? #stfc

New forward incoming at Swindon Town, maybe in time for Newport. Plus all the other transfer info. #stfc

The Great Bovril Shortage of 2025 might have been in full effect, but Swindon Town showed plenty of beef against Barrow. Reflections on Saturday, and in particular the midfield axis of Nnamdi Ofoborh and Gavin Kilkenny. #stfc

Expect Joint Venture to get to see concept designs for Don Rogers Stand redevelopment at meeting on January 28. Struggling to see how project hits tentative deadline for submitting for planning permission by end of February. #stfc

Rosaire Longelo is getting interest from a League Two rival. #stfc

It's been quite a two months for Swindon Town groundsman Matt Povey. Five league games, four weather warnings for wind and rain, and that freezing fog. No postponements. Here's some appreciation of a job well done. #stfc

😬

Curious selection conundrum for Ian Holloway tonight. Rest key players, or push as hard as possible for the next round - against top-ranked opposition, given injury situation? What would your team be? #stfc

Birmingham's centre forward is worth 7.5 times more than Swindon's stadium. No wonder Town are 8/1 in a two-horse race. But that was the case at Wycombe, too. #stfc

Has George Cox broken his foot? Current answer: no. #stfc

Pea-soup fog, no guarantee of hot running water, and a central character in a bakerboy cap. It was all very Dickensian at the County Ground, which was apt. Because against Crewe, Ian Holloway's team started to show newfound creative authority. #stfc

What to expect from Tom Nichols at Swindon. Goal contribution every 180 mins at L2 level, numbers much better in fourth tier than third. Swindon feel they can use him as a traditional 10, off Smith, or in a 3. Low on starts over past year. #stfc

Tom Nichols to Swindon Town is done. The story of a transfer that seems to have been in the making for years. #stfc

Latest in Transferland. Tshimanga, loan situations, senior keeper, 'trialists', Tomkinson. #stfc

Swindon Town have a fresh transfer focus this month after learning George Cox will be sidelined with a broken foot for up to two months. #stfc

There's a different dynamic at play at #stfc when it comes to recruitment in this window. Holloway has considerably more authority than head coaches of recent past, so when he says someone's not for sale there's reason to believe him. More here 👇

Unlike a lot of speculation this week, Tom Nichols stuff has legs. If done, would be an interesting option off Harry Smith. #stfc

Believe transfer activity at Swindon Town is somewhat slower than some social media rumours might otherwise suggest at the mo. Feels like it may well run late into the window. #stfc

From an undefined role and questions over temperament to the load-bearing wall of this squad. A look at how Harry Smith has become the most important player in the Swindon Town team. #stfc

Re Brum away tickets. There's input from football staff here (do they want to face 3k away fans given they're two games from Wembley). And cost/benefit of opening more of the CG. Another 1k adults is £15k, of which #stfc take ~£7k (vs stewards/police/catering).

It always felt like it would be one step too far, but defeat at Notts County should not derail the survival effort. Reflections on lessons learned from Swindon Town being outclassed at Meadow Lane. #stfc

This is a big test of Swindon's structure and resolve without the ball. Notts are the most creative team in L2, and have more possession than anyone else. Town may need to make several changes. Emerge unscathed and this season is on track. #stfc

Swindon Town went through the festive period unbeaten, taking 8pts/12 from games against the teams ranked 3rd, 4th, 7th and 10th in the form table. It's not just been a revival, but a revival against in-form teams. A very impressive few weeks. #stfc

FA Youth Cup third-round time for Swindon Town. Club has worked as one this week to give academy best chance of progressing; by all accounts Ian Holloway has bought into project entirely. Tough tie at QPR. But you wouldn't put it past them. #stfc

Long live the Pizza Vans Cup. Reflections on a strategic and psychological triumph for Ian Holloway and his Swindon Town players at Adams Park. #stfc

Swindon Town are 9/1 with some bookmakers for the game at Wycombe tonight. Unsurprising in the context of the season, unthinkable in the context of history. Serves as a stark illustration of #stfc plight.

How Swindon Town might rejig for the game they'd probably prefer not to be taking place. #stfc

Relegation is an existential threat to Swindon Town. A balance between protest and support of the players has to be found over these next few months. Free to read tonight. Because I think it's important. #stfc

The fun went a long time ago. The hope is next out the door. #stfc

Trust STFC to stand "shoulder to shoulder" with Spirit of 69 protest movement. #stfc

Swindon Town have conceded 9 times from set-pieces (exc pens) in L2 this season. Only Morecambe have shipped more. It is a problem that's been evident under four managers over two seasons. Why? And what needs changing? #stfc

Quite concerning that consecutive managers have identified this team's remarkable fragility from set pieces yet we're five weeks from Christmas and the same things keep happening over and over again. #stfc

Budgets, SCMP, semantics, and January. #stfc

It's the 10th anniversary of Nathan Thompson's famous celebration against Bristol City. We spoke about the then, the now, and the future. #stfc themoonraker.counterpress.media/features/14-...

Ian Holloway said at today's presser Swindon Town are "over budget". I've clarified. This relates to #stfc first-team budget operating above initial level (there was a capital injection in August following sales of UGM and Hunt). No FFP/SCMP issue. Nothing new. Semantics.
