I am listening to the replay on bbc radio bath and supermarine are giving a great account of themselves. 1-0 up after 3 mins, 3-1 down after half hour and now 3-3!

Here's the link,

jesus! wish i'd gone now

ooh shit. forgot that was on
crazy days.

don't get paid till thursday otherwise i would have! possibility of extra time and pennos tonight!

Kevin Amankwaah will score an own goal in the 93rd minute.

Great stuff.

wish i had gone, watching man u v wolves, wot a crock of shit :zzz:

i was going to go too,but the weather put me off.
come on marine!!!!

Bloody hell, fair play.  Would love to see them win!

just to confirm the ex swindon town count: 7

Mark Scott (on loan), Kyle Lapham, Leigh Henry, Ben Wells, Chris Taylor, Chris Allen, Ashan Holgate

plus i suspect that Sam Morris, Luke Hopper and Justyn Mackay are on the bench so we're into double figures!!

FUCK! I forgot about Dave (should have got a straight red at Oxford on TV) Bampton! so its 11

kaid mohamhead plays for bath

out injured for this one. Interesting to hear the Bath City commentators also bemoaning 4-5-1 (come 4-3-3) because the wingers can't get near the lone striker often enough!! Sound familiar...?

Did Taylor play Saturday?

think so yeah, he's the skipper!

I know but hes been banned recently...suprised one of the bigger clubs havn't been in for him.

score update anyone, please.

Still 3-3, Supermarine dominating.

It would appear that Bath are in a bit of a mess tactically! and marine have still got three subs up their sleeves should it go further...

still 3-3. holgate subbed off for steve cook

Last minute winner FOR Swindon. Fuck me.

Fair play to them.

4-3 marine!!!

doubt about whether it crossed the line or not!? who cares!

is that it game over?

Crikey! Not bad!

Mark Scott brilliant save prettty much last kick of the game, game over now.

665 attendance. not over yet

Marine fans going wild..............what a great achievement..first round proper and a winnable tie.

Stoppage time.

Anyone know the attendance and how many Marine fans were there?

Good result for them

Fair fucking play.

full time 4-3. don't know how many marine are there?

mark scott made a brilliant save in last minute. Good Lad!

Over 600........about 100 from Marine,the £13 admision price frightened a few i know.

Considering the amount of Town rejects they have.

They're quite welcome!

grrrrrr,should have gone.well done to them.
biggest win in their history by a mile.
mark collier and tom jones doing a great job there on very little money.they nearly went bust in the summer and their fans saved them.

cracking stuff.

£13????

That's more than our season tickets cost per game. Why would anyone pay that much for non-league?

Great result though. 1st round proper and a very winnable tie. They've got a far better chance than us of going through.

That's why along with the weather, we didn't go.  Shame we didn't, brilliant result for them.

£18 at Luton :eek:

Why is everyone cheering on the scum ;) they are local rivals :D

Well done Marine. They could go further than we do this year :eek:

Nope..........we go to Plymouth!

good god how depressing is that thought? Ha ha

Well done Marine!

Swindon derby in round 2.....?

Fair play.  I wonder if they'll get a record attendance against Eastwood? Not sure what it is, but they had 550 at home to Bath.  Good chance of going through too.  Oxford at home in the 2nd rd?

well done marine hopefully Poxford or Brisssle at home in the next round :beers:

  Mega ace stuff....kind of mirrors 1960 when Bath City drew at the CG then lost to STFC 6-4 in the replay.

Christ no wonder their supporters rioted when they lost in the play offs, not only did they have another season in non league to look forward to, but an extorniate price to pay for it!  :D

Just got back from this, it was a super game and massive fair play to Collier and his side, an incredible achievement.

They've got a talented young side down there now and with one or two additions could push on over the next year or so.

Of the ex-swindon lot, Henry was an absolute rock at CB and mom of the match for me.

Can't see many making the trip to plymuff next Sat so could be a healthy gate indeed for the visit of Eastwood

Some years ago I visited Eastwood, because of the DH Lawrence connections...would have made a decent away day..

I don't know whether to be pleased for Marine or worried that they may actually go further than us in the FA Cup this year. Either way fair play to them.

I don't think I'd really begrudge them getting further in the FA Cup this once, as long as it didn't become a regular occurrence.

What odds can you get on them winning it?

Indeed best achievement for another Swindon side since Swindon Victoria got to the final of the Amateur Cup in 21....losing 4-2 to Bishop Auckland at Ayresome Park....not so much a neutral ground, more of a home game for the norverners.

Someone like Leefer might want to do a bit of research on that game.....

The Vics, disappeared sometime in the early 70's...when I lived elsewhere, I believe they were franchised to Malmesbury.

An ancient mate, once told me their pitch disappeared under the M4....I always suspected he was talking bollox.

Really pleased for them.

They have a winable tie aswell, you never know, with a good draw in round 2, they could get to the thrid round and all the money that comes with that would be brilliant for them.

Fantastic result for Marine. They've come on in leaps and bounds in the last few years. Eastwood hven't exactly been pulling up any trees in the Conference North so Marine will fancy their chances. I would go to that if I didn't live so God Damn far away. ::)

Brilliant stuff by Marine, might be the first and last time ever that they progress further than we do in the cup, heaven forbid.

Swindon Supermarine V Oxford United round 2 :D Could be interesting....

this made me smile....

Absolutely delighted for them :clap:

I love it when us fans can call decisions from the other side of the pitch... Mind you I agree with him :)

A lad I know went to the game and was stood behind that goal, said it bounced about 3 yards clear. Shit happens :)

Pffft what sort of view is that? That video clearly indicates that the ball is nowhere near the line  8)

 ... It is now"

What are you lot talking about?

Looks like the bloke on the line that headed it on to the bar was behind the line, looks like he headed it forward which means he must have been or I don't see how the ball could have hit the bar at that angle and gone clear.

I'm jesting Jonny.

Very interesting................new about Swindon Victoria but didn't realise that they had reached that final.........will indeed be snouting about for that.

Played in front of 21,000.....The Swindon Vics were well beaten,even a full line up and match report.

Interesting.....although I suspect a certain norvern bias...might be one to look up on the Adver microfilm in the library....

I'd like to know where the Vics played though...

Bearing in mind Bishops Auckland were a top team they were not hammered.
The Vics actually beat Leytonstone at Reading 3-0 in the semi final.
In the 1930,s they lost 5-3 to Wiltshire County Mental Hospital in the Wiltshire cup!

Can find no trace of the ground though with Victoria being the name probably to do with the Victoria Hospital is my guess............i will find out Reg,its bugging me also.

 :)

Swindon Schoolboys sometimes have done well on the national scene....must do a bit on them one day..I've been to watch a few games as a glory hunter, just can't remember when.

Doug Woodman played for Vics after leaving Swindon.....think i will pop the question to Mr Plowman when i see him again...........he knows it all in these matters.

Swindon Sunday league used to have some big games Reg might remember when i was young i can recall Deers leap v M&B at Penhill with 300-400 watching and a future Swindon goalie played ? i think M&B were originally the reserves of Deers Leap that could not get a game
As for Marine they started off as Penhill Youth FC then become Swindon Athletic before the Marine name

I have an England v Wales youth international match program for 1962..played at the County Ground.

So for Reg and co the teams........

England

B.Hames.......Palace.
H Oakley......Chesterfield
B.Starks....Saints
P Leadbeater...Sheffield FA
E Winstanley...Barnsley
P.Madeley...Leeds
H Wilkonson..Sheff Wed
B Etheridge..Northampton
D. Martin.....Northampton
F .Willder...Blackpool
B .Whittacker...Arsenal....

Wales......

A Osborn..Barry Town.
D.Williams.Wrexham
JW.Screen...Newport
HC.Williams..Newtown
D.Powell...Wrexham
J.Smith...Rhos Aelwyd?
R Mitchel..Cardiff
RMP Jones..Rhos on Sea
L Dickerson..Cardiff
RI Hughes Rauban Gram School.
A Jones..Wrexham.

Remember Madely obviously and Wilkenson....Cobblers must have had a good youth team then also.

Cobblers won Div 3 in 62/63

I reckon that was a bit of 2nd string England side.  In 63...England won a Euro Youth tournament, defeating Spain 4-0 in the final  Pepe Reina's old man in goal.

England team...

Springett QPR
Wright    Villa
Noble      Man U
Kendall    Preston
Wright    Leeds
Hollins    Chelsea
Redknapp  West Ham
Knowles    Wolves
Sadler     Man U
Sissons    West Ham
Rogers     Swindon

Most of those had a career, don't remember the 2 Wrights though
