Everyone hates someone.  Inter town rivalries get to a stupid extent.  I was once woken on a train by the goot people of watford or some hole like that singing 'we hate tring'.  Im not even sure what tring is.

I've only been through Calne a couple of times but isn't the library there huge? I was slightly tempted to make the trip on the bus to go and have a look but haven't found the time to do it.Doubt it would be worth the effort really,but then what is in life  Sad

I doubt its as bad as you lot are making out anyway!But i am from Didcot so my standards are low  Cheesy

I used to coach in Calne.

The kids are little bastards and I once coached a kid with 6 toes. True Story.

 I like Calne...I'm sure I've posted the reasons before now.

 I like Westbury, for its Cement Works, and I like Melksham, for the Avon Sports and Social club.

 The fact that there are many solid STFC fans living in them, merely makes my heart grow fonder.

I never came across many Swindon fans during my time in Westbury, certainly not out-and-proud ones Smiley

While at school a few had Town as their "2nd team" - they don't count.

So, myself and some of Sade's clan.

I was the only one in my year at Kingdown in Warminster - used to chat to John Atyeo (was htv pundit at the time and maths master) about football.

My brother went to Kingdown, supported Swindon until the Coca-Cola Cup Semi-Final and then all of a sudden supported Manchester United.

I went to The Avenue for a brief time and was in assembly the day the helicopter landed on our field to take poor ol' Atyeo to hospital. He used to watch our school teams.

Yup, Summer of '93 - for some reason that's how he was taken from his home.

Calne has an canal.

Isn't Sadie's clan, more or less the entire population of Westbury.
