Protecting the home of Swindon Town Football Club
Founded in 1879 Swindon Town Football Club have been cornerstone of the local community for over 140 years, and since 1896 their footballing home has been The County Ground.
However, being owned by Swindon Borough Council, having multiple changes in club ownership, and the fortunes of the club fluctuating over the decades, more recent developments have been few and far between.
