Better cut the prices

Ticket prices seem to be an issue for Hereford fans travelling away - they were charged £21 for adults at Whaddon Road, resulting in just 370 making the short trip.  Swindon Town have perhaps sensed that £25 for the Arkells Stand is excessive, and have offered Hereford advance tickets for £20. 

I've played in front of the mafia

Steve Evans's Crawley Town host Paolo Di Canio's Swindon Town.  Yet again, the managerial mind games are most entertaining :- 

Evans : "My memories of Di Canio are watching him play as he was a fantastic footballer and wonderful to watch.  Whether if I was a chairman I would want him as my manager though is a totally different question, although it's not really my place to say.  All I know it's a massive week for us and the Di Canio Circus rolls into town next Tuesday."

PDC : "I've played in front of mafia people. People like him make me laugh - I laugh in the face of them. I laughed in the face of 70,000 Man Utd fans when I scored, you could imagine what it would be like if I was worried by the words of him who I've never heard of before."

Off you go, Leon Clarke

Ex QPR striker Leon Richard's short career at Swindon Town has ended for now as he was shifted out on loan to L1 Chesterfield for three months, following his pitch side and players' tunnel bust up with PDC.

No more running please

Leon Knight has played his last game for Swindon Town FC:  apparently wanting away after just seven days, he was involved in a televised tussle with PDC at the end of the Southampton Carling Cup game after being asked in for 'extra running' the next day by one of the coaches.  PDC survives to manage for another game, but faces a tough home game in the lunchtime kick off against Rotherham.
