BOSS PREPARES FOR ELECTRIC START

Posted on: Fri 07 Aug 2009

Swindon Town boss Danny Wilson is looking forward to 'an electric atmosphere' this weekend for the season opener at Gillingham.

The Robins set off for the South East this afternoon and will be looking to get off to the best possible start as the long and winding League One journey gets under way.

Speaking ahead of the game, Wilson has warned his troops not to underestimate the task in hand.

"The atmosphere there should be electric and with it being their first home game, that will add to it," said DW.

"We won't kid ourselves though because we know how tough the game will be. Just because the bookies haven't made Gillingham promotion candidates, it won't be an easy game that's for sure."

Town will also be able to name seven substitutes for Saturday's League One clash for the first time following the regulation change over the summer months. Something which Wilson believes will be of benefit to his side.

"It's important that we have the same options as the Premier League and it adds an extra dimension if we want to change the team or formation.

He added: "The other option is to include a younger player to give them a taste for first team football. Some clubs may argue that they don't have enough players to fill the bench with the seven substitutes rule."
