Scorecast
Following a successful competition run by Paul T. last year on the fans forum, the comp has evolved into a
potential fund raiser for the Trust.
The competition is to forecast the results of all Swinton's matches, those getting closest get the most
points. At the end of the season a Cup is given to the person with the most points.
This season though you have the option of paying a £10 fee. The Trust keep half the fee and the rest goes in the
kitty to the winner of the competition. Of course only those paying to enter will be entitled to the winnings, but
if you don't want to pay there's nothing stopping you joining in the fun.

If you want the chance to win some cash and help out the Trust send a cheque for £10 made payable to
'Swinton Supporters Trust' to
Trust Match Day Bus.
Timetable for this seasons bus has changed. Our original
bus company was based in Bolton, the reason for starting in Little Hulton. Our
current supplier has their depot in Kersal, so it was wise to change the route.
The new route covers more of our supporter base than previously so hopefully we
should see higher numbers on the bus.
Prices are the same as the previous two years, £1.50 Adult Single, 50p OAP/Child single. Fares will be
collected on the bus. We are still awaiting confirmation of the pick-up times but due to popular demand we will be arriving
earlier at 2:30pm, this though means we will be departing at 4:55pm The bus will stop at any bus stop but please put your hand out. The company use plain White coaches, please keep a look out.
Kind gesture from Lancashire Tea Following a phone call from a Trust member, Lancashire Tea have
donated a 'chest' of items for the raffle on Monday night. Click on the image for more details on Lancashire Tea which is
