malpas was clearly sacked too early then.
MM failed to win the Wilts Shield last season...he could have gone then. |

Germany vs. England > Chippenham vs. Swindon Reserves
Its all reserve teams apart from chippenhams. Wilts shield is mainly pointless (contested between 4 teams) but Id rather watch a live match where a lower league team will try to get on over on illustrious opponents rather than sit at home enduring ITV commentary on an international reserve team game. |

IS THERE ANYBODY WHO WILL GIVE ME DIRECTIONS?
Or maybe I'll type Hardenhuish into my satnav and see what that does.

You don't HAVE to listen to the commentary, try utilising the mute facility I am sure your remote control has and put some whale music on instead. |

It's just off that one way system, not sure how you'd approach it from the motorway, but if you drive through town, go under the railway bridge and carry straight on (to the one way system), stay in the left hand lane, go over the roundabout and carry on a bit, you'll be there. I think. |

Chippenham don't have a reserve team though do they? I'd say I am a supporter of my national team, but this fixture seems so unbelievably irrelevant even though it's against ze Germans, a nation we "loathe" but from what I've read, on the whole it's one way loathing. They're not that bothered by England. As far as the England squad is concerned, I think it's made more interesting by the fact that all of these "superstars" are ruled out. |

Ok, here the quick way. Off the Mway at J17. Follow the A350 to the roundabout at the end (morrisons / large petrol station on your right.) take first exit at this roundabout (carrying straight on). Turn right at the traffic light (into hardehuish lane) follow the road past the schools (on your left) at the mini roundabout turn left and follow the road. You'll see the ground up on your left. Park on the road anywhere down there. |

I've just realised that haven't been to Hardenhuish Park since about 2001. I went most weeks between 1998-2001. My old man organises the away travel for Chippenham fans.

I like Germans, I just really like beating them at football. |

Sums up my view. They do beer and meat very well. Proper country that is. |

My 3 and a half years I had in Germany were the best of my childhood. I was in West Germany during Italia '90 and even as young as I was I recall the German celebrations when they won.
Beating the Germans in a football match is good fun to us desperate, clutching at straws England fans that need something to celebrate.
