Swindon Town call plans for the Don Rogers stand 'more than just a structure'
It's named in honour of one of the club’s greatest ever players
Swindon Town FC are calling their plans for their new Don Rogers stand as a way to represent a 'legacy' whilst also their 'commitment to the future' - after revealing they'll be unveiling key details about the new structure earlier last week.
It's being named in honour of one of the club's greatest ever players, and is being called a great way of reaffirming their place at the heart of the local community.
Rogers, who made more than 400 appearances for the Robins, played the vast majority of his games for Swindon Town, and is known for scoring two extra-time goals in their victory over Arsenal in the 1969 League Cup final.
Sharing details of the new stand, bosses at Swindon Town said: "As custodians of this proud tradition, we recognise the importance of evolving alongside the needs of our supporters, the ambitions of the club, and the opportunities available for growth and innovation. This proposed development is not just about bricks and mortar - it’s about creating a space that better serves our fans, enhances matchday and non-matchday experiences, and secures long-term sustainability for Swindon Town Football Club.
"This public consultation invites you to be part of that journey. We welcome your thoughts, your support, and your ideas as we look to shape a brighter future for the Nigel Eady County Ground together.
"The presentation outlines the proposed redevelopment of the Don Rogers stand at the Nigel Eady County Ground - a major step in modernising Swindon Town Football Club’s facilities and creating a more dynamic and accessible environment for supporters, players, and the wider community.
"The proposal forms part of the broader vision for the long-term regeneration of the County Ground, following the historic acquisition of the stadium by the club and its supporters.
"As a key stakeholder, your input is crucial. This consultation provides an opportunity to learn more about the plans, ask questions, and offer feedback that will help guide the final design and development process. Together, we can ensure that the new Don Rogers stand honours its legacy while meeting the needs of future generations."
