Just booked tomorrows ticket on 'Ticket pass'.

Have to say I didn't find it straight forward and by mistake I've ordered 2 senior tickets.

If anyone is thinking about ordering a senior ticket in advance for the lower price of £7 please let me know if you are willing to help me out with this spare ticket I have.

Forgot to say if someone wants it they can have it for £5.

[Guest Wycombe Rebel]

See our excellent managers have signed that forward everyone has been crying out for…

Welcome George Cowmeadow!

[Reading Rebel]

On a months loan until Elliott Benyon recovers from injury.

Could be longer for all we know. Needs must! Doesn’t matter if it’s a month or a season, we have another forward.

Obviously would have preferred a ‘seasoned’ striker but I guess funds are tight. I wonder how much research goes into these youth loan signings? Do our managers personally watch them or do we rely on watching videos or taking the parent clubs word on the player? In any case let’s hope he’s what we need and scores a few!

Well I can tell you in this instance Glen, this is not costing the club anything as it is a free loan, and is a calculated gamble from our part, as we do not know lots about the lad, however he has reasonable pedigree with a couple of first team starts (which they don’t just give away) and is highly rated at the club. However we have not made a big commitment to Swindon or George, so he will have to come in and prove his worth, so it was a complete no brainier for us.

With some of the other loan signings more work has gone into them, however time was not on our side this week and happened today before the midday deadline.

Also find the online  booking totally unhelpful. 

 

Great idea if only it worked.

Appreciate the insight, hope this works out well for all concerned.

Why do people buy tickets on line at £13, when they could pay £15 and support the club in these financially difficult times for the club.

 

This way they get all of your money - no booking fees, and you support the club - does a saving of £1.62 to you really matter?

Which aspect of using TicketPass are you having trouble with? They are usually pretty quick at resolving queries, or you could try emailing the club - shop@sloughtownfc.net

Perhaps people are having a difficult time financially themselves?

£1.62 doesn't sound a lot by itself but added to all the other cost of living increases it all adds up.

50% of the TicketPass fee is donated to a local charity which a number of people are happy to help

He can't be too bad if he's already played twice for Swindon's first team, albeit in the more mickey mouse cups.

Wow just wow!

A good game of football between 2 evenly matched teams totally destroyed by inept atrocious officiating… Never seen anything like that!

2 evenly matched teams one which only scored once and the other who scored 3 in 11 mins - evenly matched? - will be intresting to watch the "highlights" to see how many times we forced a save from the Worthing keeper.

 

Agree about the "inept atrocious officiating", however "Never seen anything like that!" must mean you do not get to see many non-league refs!

 

Another season with no FA cup run and the money associated with it.

[GlenSTFC]

Yes the officials were f***ing shit but it’s still so frustrating to be winning with 30 minutes to go and to let 3 goals in. In the first half we had a couple of chances where we just didn’t make the correct decision and a good chance was wasted. Worthing were ok but nothing special and it’s a big worry financially to go out so early of a money spinning competition. We just have to hope we can bounce straight back and win at Braintree to keep our league campaign on track as that’s the only competition now that may increase our dwindling home crowds.

Glen

Braintree were held 1-1 by Heybridge Swifts today so will have another hard game before we meet them

I will treat your response with the contempt it deserves.

First half… Disallowed goal? Incorrect decision.

The circumstances leading up to and around their goals? The first goal, ok Northy should’ve got it but who set it up? The 18 should not be on the pitch.

The 3rd goal??? Christ alive.

All plays a big part when the officiating is so poor against one team.
