Four weeks ago, as the dust settled on Swindon Town’s dismal home defeat by Morecambe, three friends started furiously WhatsApping. That evening, The Spirit of 69 – a fan protest movement – was conceived.
In order to protect the money he has already put into the club - in initial equity and in subsequent loans - Morfuni needs to chase survival.
There is no particular moment in time which can be pointed to as the spark for this deterioration in public approval. Poll 100 different protestors this week, and you’ll likely get a dozen different answers.

As Holloway approaches his 1,000th game in management this weekend, a considerable milestone that deserves commendation and respect, it would be sensible for him to concede the mistakes he made at the weekend.

The pathway from the academy to the main stage has rarely been so tangible for Swindon’s kids. And another run in the Youth Cup could just propel them to that rare prize: a professional contract.

All of a sudden, a sullen, careless, erratic group has energy, formation, and purpose. They look disciplined. They look calm. Blimey, they even look like they’re in it together.
Tuesday’s trip to Wycombe Wanderers is about as desirable as a particularly acute attack of IBS right now, as Town balance a fixture overload with the not insignificant task of keeping their EFL status.
