Anyone know whats going on? Heard 2 stories? a stabbing and a anti-terrorism raid.

cancelled edl march?

The prossies wont be happy.
This is BAD for business

I live 400 metres from Manny Road, and cannot find out what the hells happening.

There's nothing on the internet.

Think they were moved on a while ago...

TBF not many exist anymore down there now the Police employ a Vice officer.

We had the following guesses:

- Murder
- Prossie Killer like Ipswich
- Floodlight (streetlight) failure like Cheltenham

Christmas is coming and the coppers fancied some overtime, they probably drew straws and got someone to 'gather' evidence to justify a big operation.

Anyway, it's not called Manchester Road anymore, it's converted to Islam and now want wants to be known as Mohammed Alley...

Post of the day.

Wheres Fatbury going to go now?

Sounded like dogs barking in the van. Id guess drugs or anti-terrorism.

Stabbing I heard.

It would have been more planned if it had been a drugs/anti terrorism raid. My bets on a shooting.

When i was a copper the hookers would make any noise you wanted for a fiver in the back of a van ;)

yes fair point.

Someone was stabbed out the back of Iceland today too

Can we keep this thread local to Swindon - not interested in what the icelandics are up to in their back yard

Some posts on Facebook say it is a stabbing!

Wilson Out!

That's all

a muslim prossie got stabbed

Have they set up a 'Knife Out!' group for it yet?

I heard that it was a muslim woman being stoned but the Police got the wrong end of the stick and sent in the drug squad

Heard three people have been stabbed.

Adver are claiming it's a stabbing...

i hope it was that volcano

Also been told that someone got their hands cut off.

Was a fatal stabbing.

if the road is gonna be shut for 5 hours that's pretty much a cert

I bought a burger from one of the places on manny road before the game and the people looked concerned

o0o0o0o0

Well, we can rule that out then :)

Have you seen the sizes of some of those kebab knifes??

Fucking rib cracking.

maybe this takes halal meat to a whole new level.are those muslims fucking cannibals now?

Manny Road is mainly Catholic Goans.

This does give rise to the very real possibility they may use the word "admits" in the right context.

nah. its mainly terraced houses and smelly shops

Crispy strikes again, guy is seriously ill in hospital but he aint dead yet!

What, just because you actually bought a burger!

Anyone else think it's slightly depressing that because it's Manchester Road people were suggesting terrorism?

Not really with all the bombs and shit being discovered etc these days, didn't some people get done for terrorism before down that neck of the woods or am I imagining things?

The copper I asked confirms that story, it was a stabbing

Manny road still closed, atleast they are quick to note the stabbing has nothing to do with football

No, I think most people were taking the piss.

Yes you are

some nutter from oxford got locked up for trying to blow up the mosque in the area a few years ago.that's about it

And the local BNP spokeschav at the time was sent down for firebombing the Broad St mosque a few years back. But I suspect those weren't the kind of incidents Gazza had in mind - terrorism only happens one way these days, apparently

That was Matty Bulmans brother or cousin I believe.

Surely that's a tautology?

Oh come on, they're not all nutters. Some of them are incestuous freaks.

Yes you're right Paul, my mistake  :)

Have to say my first thought why Manchester Road was closed was that the prossies were all fully engaged, presumably after Rooney "got lost" on his way from the station to sign on loan for us.

It wasn't funny then either.

can everybody just stop getting stabbed!

Stabbed... stabbed... stabbed... stabbed... stabbed.

(Yes, I'm bored).

Quite a lot of Manny Road, and the side streets are still shut off now. The cops have not let hardly anyone in or out of the exclusion zone. I've been lucky, the exclusion zone starts about 20 metres from my front door.

Is it normal for a stabbing crime scene investigation to last this long?

CSI:Swindon.

Crappy Stabbing Investigation

Or Crispy's Stabbing Investigation !!!

The plastic policemen are having fun just standing around doing very little.

Manny Road now open.

Part of Rosebery Street plus the backs are sectioned off, guarded by plastic policemen.

Currently sectioned off again.

An incident happened on one of the pelican crossings as there were ambulances by ther. Whether it's anymore serious than a traffic incident I do not know.

Went down to Minety last night, the road to Purton was shut at the pub, accident about 6-30 involving a car and some walkers apparently.  Police taking measurements etc., still closed at 11-30 last night.  Not looking too good.

Wonder how much she charges?  :D

The bottom of Thamesdown drive just where it goes to single carriageway by the river has a shit load of police and the path on the other side of the road is cordoned off. Presumably something completely different.

Oh yeah, been meaning to ask this for ages, but what is that mini stonehenge thing down there. Real or some strange developer joke? It looks like something out of Spinal Tap.

A body found in the river ray according to the adver

Oh :(

I know its a bit sick but I have always wanted to find a body while walking my dog.That or brief case full of money.Don't get any good finds dog walking anymore,when I was kid you'd be guaranteed to find a carrier bag full of jazz mags at least once a month  :D

I remember finding some porn mags in a bush with my mates when I was about ten.  They provided hours of entertainment until some bastard found our stash and had away with it!

Yeah, what was that. I used to live in Eldene and found loads as a kid around there. It was like finding gold at the end of the rainbow.

:Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

Why were they always hidden in a hedge or bush though?  And why always only porn?

I think it was kind of like a modern day book exchange, only clandestine because of the nature of the material. 

A great tradition most likely ruined by the internet.

used to find loads around the county ground area. not surprising seeing as there were known wrong uns living in the area. i do remember my mate putting his todger through nikki 21's paper minge as well!!
