Coffee with Clem this morning at Bar Italia, Leichhardt (photo courtesy of my wife). Brilliant conversation, he is the real deal & we are going places under his leadership.
#stfc
My prediction - Championship by 2025, then onwards & upwards.
Great end of season get together in Sydney with Clem & Dave Mitchell & a couple of dozen Swindon fans (some flew in from Adelaide, Melbourne & Brisbane). New manager, new season coming up, new start.
Watched the game with Clem on Saturday & asked him a heap of questions. This is my recollection of his answers - any errors, omissions & assumptions are mine - after three pints, so be kind.
#stfc
What a great win to celebrate STFCinOZ - Swindon Town Fans in Australia - getting our very own Twitter account. Well done the lads, brilliant stuff & we got to watch it at a civilised hour. Forest Green 0 SWINDON TOWN 2.
#STFC
WATCH WITH CLEM. Clem will be watching the Newport game (away) on November 20th (21st Sydney time) in the Royal Hotel, Leichhardt (Sydney suburb) with local fans. If you're in Sydney come along - let us know if you can make it.

To all Aussie Swindon fans, we're having an end of season get together to watch the last game at 9.30pm on Monday 8th May in the Royal Hotel Leichhardt. Clem & his family will be there. Let me know if you can make it. Drinks & chat from 8.30, kick off 9.30.
LISTEN WITH CLEM. Clem is doing a Q&A from Sydney at 9.00pm Sydney time November 20th (10.00 am Swindon time) with local & international fans - Rob Angus & others will be on the line too. Details soon, watch this space.
What were you doing 53 years ago today (if you were alive)?
I was at Wembley Stadium.
Followed by the King Alfred's Head, Wantage, for four celebratory (& under age) pints.
Crunch match tomorrow - I'm going to have to drag myself out of bed at 4.30 am to watch the game on iFollow.
If we win the play-offs are still a possibility. Come on
#stfc
We have secured a venue in Sydney to watch the Manchester City game - the Royal Hotel in Leichhardt has agreed to open early for Swindon Town fans at 7.00 am on Saturday 8th January. Let me know if you're coming.
@dezined
Last season everyone whinged about no plan B. Today first half was crap - second half manager changed shape & we were the better team with 10 men. Plan B worked, we could have won.
I would like to thank all the players and staff for their help and support during my time at Swindon, I have learnt a lot and enjoyed the experience. I also want to give a big thanks to all the fans I met for making me so welcome and their great support over the last few months🙏🏼
Tomorrow's Q&A with Clem - Sat. 20th Nov. to be streamed live from the Royal Hotel, Leichhardt via the Official Supporters Club Facebook page, & their YouTube channel, stfcosc.
Start 10.30pm Oz time, 11.30am Swindon time. Should be fun.

#swindontown
It appears the City game will be on live TV - 7.00 am Sydney time on Satruday 8th January. Watch this space for Sydney venue where we can watch it together.
Watched game with Clem. Crap first half, poor discipline. But credit to manager & team, made good tactical changes, responded well to having 10 men & were the better side in the second half.
#stfc
Planning to watch game at Sydney pub with other
#stfc
fans & Clem. Probably the Barrow game, 12th December, to be confirmed (& venue to be confirmed). Respond to this tweet if you're in Sydney & want to come along.
It was impossible for me to get to the UK 30 years ago & no internet. I got up at the crack of dawn to call the phone results service. I heard: Leicester 3 & thought oh f***" then Swindon 4. Wish I was there.
I was at all but two of the games in the League Cup in 68-69 though.
Thanks for everything
@tyreecesimpson9
- you were good for us & we were good for you. All the best for your future career, I hope you make it big time.
#stfc
First home game against Salford on August 6th (UK time, midnight Sydney time). Planning a get together with Clem at 11.00 pm for insider info - depending on numbers - then watch the game. Royal Hotel, Leichhardt - let me know if you're coming. COYR

@tylerontherun
Lindsey isn't going anywhere. We're fourth, it looks like we'll have Charlie back, things are going well. Clem WILL NOT sack Lindsay because tossers on social media whinge. He (Clem) isn't even on Twitter or Facebook.
@chazaustin10
@brisbaneroar
Congratulations Charlie. Let us know if you get to Sydney & we can organise beers with local Swindon fans. There are a few in Brissie too.
OK Sydney based
#stfc
fans, brilliant win on Saturday. Play-off leg one vs Port Vale at the Royal Hotel, Leichhardt at 9.00 pm Sunday 15th May. Let me know if you can make it. Come on you Reds.
Going to ask Clem to do Zoom Q&A for Aussie based
#stfc
fans - probably 5.00 pm Sydney time one Saturday. If you want to be part of it respond to this tweet. Fans from Asia, NZ, anywhere really, are welcome.
From June 1st to 23rd I'm doing 8,000 push ups to support mental health in Oz. (Official target 3,114, # of Aussie suicides in 2021 but I'm an idiot). If you want to sponsor an old guy torturing himself go to .
#mentalhealth
Thank you & hope I make it alive
FULL-TIME: Northampton Town 1-2 Swindon Town...
Two fantastic goals from Tyrese Shade and Marcel Lavinier earn Scott Lindsey's side a big win at Sixfields.
What a performance and what support from the 1,455 of you that travelled today..thank you.
1-2

@ellis_iandolo
Ellis, it takes guts to step up & take a penalty under such pressure. You've had a brilliant season & I hope you remain a Swindon player for years to come as we climb up the football ladder.
#stfc
@BlunsdonRed
Rubbish. We have some great new signings, all we need is a good run & we're back in the top three. The clubs above us will lose games they should win too.
@IanPolska_99
It's true - met Clem this morning. Timing depends on season starts dates - it's being brought forward next year due to World Cup (Premier League & maybe others suspended November for the WC).
BREAKING: Town take huge step towards financial security...
Long term debt of almost £3million secured against the football club is cleared…

Currently having very pleasant drinks with old schoolmate in Wantage. Took my brother & 12 year old nephew to the game too. Atmosphere was good where I sat, players gave it a go, we won. Smell the roses & enjoy the win.
In the Royal, Leichhardt, waiting for kick off. Any Swindon fans who come along, if we aren't downstairs we'll be in the private room upstairs. Come on the Reds.

Next Saturday night Sydney time 9th September local STFC fans in Sydney are getting together to watch the Sutton game at midnight in the Royal Hotel Hotel Leichhardt. Clem will try to make it if he can, Dave Mitchell asked has been invited. Let me know if you can make it.
On my recent trip to the UK I retrieved a hundred program from the 60s & 70s. I've donated them to the museum via a fan in Nottingham. I also found a journal of my match reports from 68-69 season up to the LC Final. I'll scan it and post it on Facebook & here soon.
I'm doing 10,000 push ups in 24 days from June 1st for mental health & suicide prevention in Oz. (Official target is 3,139 push ups, 10k is my personal goal). An Aussie owned team supporting an Aussie cause. You can sponsor me & the STFCinOz team here

Clem is a superstar. OK, that's perhaps stretching it but he's a genuinely nice guy who loves football &
#stfc
Swindon Town. Great family too. We're lucky to have him.
The County Ground. Currently they are setting up a Joint Venture (JV) between the Club and the Trust to purchase the ground. The council has given the go-ahead but the UK legal requirements to set up a JV are quite complex and he's working through them.
Drinks with Clem, Royal Hotel Leichhardt (Sydney) 6.00 pm Thursday 8th December. All Aussie Swindon fans & partners welcome - please let me know if you can make it.
#stfc
Forgot to add
#stfc
- this is a chance for fans in Australia & NZ, Asia, Europe & the UK to ask Clem questions - he'll be in a Leichhardt pub (Sydney) with local fans before watching the Newport game.
