This episode is brought to you by Sergio Georgini. Yes, that’s right, it’s time to talk about the Swindon (Town) lot.
Sachin is joined by sports writer and funny man on Twitter, Declan Taylor, for a discussion about a club that is in perpetual crisis. Or at least that’s been the case for the 25 years or so Declan has supported Swindon and he does a brilliant job of articulating the mental and emotional torture that comes with being a Robin.
Regular financial trouble, regular relegations, regular Wembley heartache … Declan has seen and experienced it all. He’s also had happy times, mainly during his years as a regular at The County Ground, which he reflects on with great warmth and humour, which is also the case when he discusses Paolo Di Canio’s brief reign as manager.
There’s also a chat about Swindon’s one and only season in the Premier League and, prior to that, Declan reveals how a leisure centre in his hometown was responsible for the name of the greatest band in British music history. Sachin’s mind is suitably blown.
Finally, Declan talks through his all-time Swindon XI before giving the most precise answer to the final question in FANS history.
So download, listen and love. And after you have, please Rate and Review. It would mean a lot.
Cheers!
