"For the first time, suddenly, I became aware of all the Swindon fans sitting around us, with their awful West Country accents, their absurd innocent glee, their delirious disbelief. I hadn't ever come across opposing fans before, and I loathed them in a way I had never before loathed strangers."

Nick Hornby in Fever Pitch

The Loathed Strangers Podcast was established in 2017 as an independent fans' podcast dedicated to the trials and tribulations of Swindon Town Football Club.

Our club, our history!

The Swindon Town Football Club Museum charity was created in early 2023 to preserve the history and heritage of our beloved football club. Their mission is simple: to create a space where fans and visitors alike can explore the history of Swindon Town, from its earliest days to its most recent triumphs.

The vision of the museum's trustees is to create a world-class museum, filled with interactive exhibits, immersive experiences, and rare artefacts that showcase the club's rich history.
