Luke Wheeler and his father Malcolm came to The County Ground last weekend to purchase a 2010/2011 Season Ticket.
Upon arriving at the ground on Friday lunchtime, the pair from Heddington came across the Swindon Town Team Bus and met many of the players as they prepared to leave for Leyton Orient.
Swindontownfc.co.uk caught up with the 18-year old shortly after making his purchase....
What was it like to come and buy your Season Ticket and then find the team bus about to leave?
On the way up we joked about seeing the players and shaking the lads by the hand for the entertainment they are providing. Then when we arrived and saw the bus we had to go over and meet them. It was very pleasing to see how friendly everyone was at The County Ground and we wish them all the best of luck for the rest of the season where we will be in the Town End cheering along.
What were the reasons behind your Season Ticket purchase, and where are you sitting?
We are sitting in the Town End front row. The reason that we decided to buy our Season Tickets is that we have a feeling this club is going places, and we intend to be there the whole way making as much noise as possible.
How long have you been a fan?
I personally have been supporting Swindon for five years now. My dad has been going to The County Ground for 45 years. He (as he is fond of saying) has been to Wembley three times with Town and seen three wins.
How much were you able to get to games before buying the Season Ticket?
My dad and brother would go up for a third of the home games a season. Unfortunately I worked most Saturdays and was unable to get to many games but I am so confident that our team is heading for greater things that I have changed my work hours so as to not miss a game!
What would you say to others who are toying with the idea of buying a Season Ticket?
I would greatly recommend that any Swindon fans thinking of getting a Season Ticket should buy one. It is fantastic value for money for League One football let alone Championship football - because that is what it could potentially be next year.
How big an influence was the price on your purchase?
It was a very big factor in our purchase as it works out at roughly £8 a game which is just unbelievable value. Our thanks go out to Nick Watkins and any staff who helped make this deal possible.
Do you believe you could be watching Championship football for the price you have paid?
The way Danny Wilson has the team playing at the moment has made us the form team in the league. The majority of this season we have been under the radar but since the win over Leeds, other clubs are starting to take notice. I think that if we can beat Southampton in a couple of weeks' time then we could well be chasing automatic promotion.
