Swindon Town Football in the Community Trust hosted the Robins U9’s for our prestigious Saturday Team Club package on Saturday 25^th January. The children and adults all thoroughly enjoyed themselves with Jason Rawlings the Robins manager commenting; ​‘Instead of our usual Saturday morning training, both teams, Reds and Whites, spent the whole day together at Swindon Town as guests of Football in the Community.  The day started with a fascinating behind the scenes tour of the County Ground itself, sitting in the dug-out, visiting the impressive boardroom and executive facilities before moving on to the home, away and match officials’ dressing rooms (no tweeting allowed!)  Next it was on to the Astro pitches at St Josephs for a fun training sesssion — any of the kids who’ve been on any of the excellent half term and school holiday development courses the Football in the Community guys run will tell you they put on great fun training sessions and today was no exception. The kids had great fun, working on a session on switching play and using wide players. After all this excitement, we’d all built up quite an appetite so the pizzas for lunch were disptached in short order! Then it was back over to the County Ground and a quick visit to the club shop and a bit of face time with club mascot Rockin’ Robin before settling down to enjoy the afternoon’s game against Shrewsbury. The Robins contigent were fully (and very vocally!) behind Swindon for the full 90 minutes and their enthusiastic support was rewarded with a 3 – 1 win! Finally, after a brilliant day out, it was time to head home. A great day out for players from both teams and our thanks again to Shane, Luke and all in the Football in the Community team. I would just like to say a BIG thanks again. If there is better value for £20 then I would be amazed. All clubs around Swindon should be knocking down the door to get involved in this fantastic opportunity. The STFiTC team are great hosts.’ For more information regarding our Saturday Team Club package and to check our availability for the rest of the season then please contact Andrew Ealey on 01793 421303 or andy@​stfc-​fitc.​co.​uk.
