As part of the consultation process, a formal presentation of the designs will be made to the Advisory Board, while the architects’ drawings will be published online for all fans to view.

SPECIAL REPORT: In less than 10 weeks, Holloway has restored a level of hope and expectation to a weary fanbase, delivering them entertaining football for the first time in more than a year. How has h...

There is understood to be considerably more concern about this weekend’s protest than there was for the pre-match march and assembly in Statue Park on December 21.

Minturn has not played for Town since the 3-1 victory over Fleetwood Town on December 7, and recently received an injection in an attempt to alleviate inflammation in the problem groinal area.

SCOUTING REPORT: No League Two goalkeeper has better long-ball accuracy than Ripley's 47.6 per cent this season. This is a particularly useful asset given Swindon’s success going direct to Harry Smith...

Holloway will be delighted with Ripley's signature, as he has spent the whole of the window searching for the relevant experience at the right price.

Be it through motivation, a sheer sense of will, or in consultation with the witchdoctors of west Wiltshire, Holloway has taken a group of down-on-their-luck and almost out-on-their-arse players and s...

Since beating Northampton Town at Sixfields in their last outing of 2022, Swindon have just six away league victories to their name. That’s an average of one every 126 days.

Town manager Ian Holloway has become concerned that injury to Harry Smith during the final three months of the campaign would significantly disrupt his side's progress.

Against a Barrow side which promised little, and somehow ended up offering less, Swindon produced 90 minutes of hard, old-fashioned graft. A ‘football pre-Pep’ display. A get-things-done sort of displ...

The JV, which comprises of representatives from the club, Trust STFC and the Nigel Eady estate, is due to convene on January 28. The Moonraker understands four possible options will be presented.

Longelo only joined Swindon Town in the summer, but has found regular gametime difficult to come by during his brief spell in Wiltshire. The 25-year-old has made 21 appearances for Swindon, but fewer ...

Over the past two months, Povey has had to prepare the County Ground pitch for five home league matches. Four took place amid weather warnings for rain and wind, the fifth came in sub-zero temperature...

Birmingham City visit the County Ground on Tuesday (January 14) in the last 16 of the competition, and Holloway has various availability and fitness concerns to weigh up as he picks his starting XI.

For the second successive round in this year’s competition, Town face the top-ranked club left in the draw. For the second successive round, the bookmakers have the Robins at odds of 8/1 and longer to...

Town had announced Cox was likely to be out for as long as two months after an X-ray appeared to reveal a break in a bone in his foot.

Based on the evidence at hand on Saturday, the gulf in points and places between Swindon and Crewe does not give a fair indication of the level Holloway’s side have now reached.

Nichols has joined on loan until the end of the season. The Moonraker takes a look at his attributes, how he fits into this Swindon side, and why things didn't quite work out at Mansfield.

A Somerset boy, Nichols favoured a switch back to the West Country and a link-up with manager Ian Holloway, who has made overtures to sign him on more than one occasion during his managerial career.

Tshimanga is understood to be considered a positive influence on younger players in the dressing room, and Ian Holloway is known to favour keeping the forward through until the end of the campaign.

Cox sustained a fracture of the medial cuneiform during the defeat at Notts County, and will need a prolonged spell on the sidelines. Swindon's medical team have put the expected recovery time at betw...

Smith's form in recent weeks has sparked some speculation over his future but, as previously reported by The Moonraker, Swindon are resolved not to let go of a key part of their survival effort.

Swindon have shown interest in Nichols at various points over the years. He would give manager Ian Holloway an additional option to play off Harry Smith, as the Robins continue the battle against rele...

Halfway through this most difficult of campaigns, Smith has become fundamental to Swindon’s chances of matchday success: a load-bearing wall of a striker upon whom this team's structural stability – b...

Their 10th game in 36 days came at the home of the most creative team in the division, with a squad creaking and wheezing under the strain of a series of injuries and niggles.

For tired legs and a depleted squad, this is perhaps the worst away day to get at this time of the year. That’s nothing against Nottingham, to be clear. I’m sure the Trent is beautiful on a frosty mor...

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 statu...

On this weekend of all weekends, it is not particularly surprising that when reading the headline ‘red warning of risk to life in the south west’ my mind did not go to the poor Somerset towns about to...

Swindon are now 24th out of 24, 92nd out of 92. Last. Worst. This is no longer a patch of bad form, nor is it a redeemable slide. It is a funeral match. A long, pathetic funeral march to a shallow EFL...

The supporters' group wrote to its members on Monday night (December 2) to confirm the results of a survey over the weekend, in which 60 per cent said they would back action calling for Morfuni to sel...

SPECIAL REPORT: The Moonraker speaks to Morfuni and Town CEO Anthony Hall, analyses the events of the past week, and assesses whether or not there is a way out for all involved.

A little more than 500 members took part in the ballot, which gave them the opportunity to pass or reject the proposal for the period between June 2024 and May 2025.

The Moonraker understands Russell’s departure is on his own terms. The former academy manager was promoted to the role in the senior setup in 2023.

It is not fun anymore. When football is no longer fun, and if supporters cannot identify with what is put in front of them, everything falls apart. Make no mistake, everything is on the edge of fallin...

Town have now conceded nine goals from dead-ball situations this season (plus a penalty) in 16 matches: the second worst record in League Two alongside Morecambe (10 goals plus three penalties).

The Moonraker understands the comment about the club being “over budget” relates to the original budget at the start of the summer. Swindon’s recruitment team received access to additional funds late ...

INTERVIEW: On the 10th anniversary of his famous and iconic celebration against Bristol City, The Moonraker sits down with Thompson to discuss his 14 years at the club and to ask the question: will th...
