Fair Game report into Swindon Town's financials appears blind to the on-the-ground experience of many supporters

Reading the report blind, it would be very difficult to envisage a club on its record fifth straight year in the bottom division, supporters warring with themselves, and the ownership struggling to maintain or win back trust of disillusioned fans.

Clubs which open themselves up to truly independent scrutiny of their financial positions ought to be applauded.

It is all too uncommon in football, where oversight exists more in principle than practice, and unscrupulous or nefarious owners can run free with the wild abandon of a prairie horse.

As a result, down the years there have been far too many examples of clubs going to wall, decades of history tarnished or, worst of all, lost to one man or a small group of men’s whim and whimsy.
