Huge Local derby in the Wilts premier shield Tuesday night Only £4.00 for adults and £2.00 for tax dodgers.

Im lost is it home or away?

Oh yeah. Home!

Home.

Not been to one of these before. Will Salisbury bring any fans?

Sturrock has said first teamers will be involved, might pop down

Hmmm with the forum on Thursday,this on Tuesday and Saturdays game it sounds like an STFC overload i doubt i'll be arsed.

think i might pop along as well unless other pressing matters arise. will be good to see some o fthe fringe/youth players.

he said anybody who didnt get a go today will play tuesday

Might go along actually. I will see

Didn't Sturrock say something about recalling the players out on loan as well?

dv if i pop down do you want a lift?

Yeah Sturrock said he will play some first teamers so Ill be down there. No idea how many Salisbury will bring but they are doing well in the Conference South so... big game for them especially if we are putting out a decent side.

meh, up to you...not fussed. I guess if its on your way...

i'll probably decide tuesday afternoon, will let you know. don't mind picking you up from the messenger mate

Seems to be the main fan forum.

Getting ready for their cup final already it seems  :wink:

They better not bring a fuckin drum.  :x

i dont know whats worse. fans who bring a drum or the fans in the Nationwide banging their seats to make a racket

yes it is rather spasticated. the kids up in chav corner sat down slamming their feet on the seats in front of them whilst some little pikey is the ring leader slamming his fist against the well of the nationwide towards the stratton bank egging them on.,  :x

sorry about that  :(

I think I might go.

Some questions though -

as I cant normally be arsed with this kind of thing - Is the winners open, and can I drink lager in the stand?

 :roll:

Anyone know what time kick off is?

Im going - as the ROCK is playing (couldnt believe he was dropped Saturday ! he had been playing well!) - STFC Steve is bringing the flag which we hope the ROCK himself will sign prior to the game!

Fatbury, do you fancy Pooky?

I'm going to steal fatburys flag and burn it on the stratton bank

probably will be open and yes you can. i had a nice pint of 3b's last year, i tried to smuggle it into the directors box but couldn't.

kick off is 7:45pm

I'll go. aceness.

cheers. sounds good to me.

I might go aswell.

I'm going to go up by the away fans and start some agro

 :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

Do Salisbury have a 'firm'?

No I dont fancy him - just supporting him thats all! Its good to have a fave player :wink:

admit it - you love him.

All fans are mixed together. Well, it was last time.

 When we played them, was it last season or the season before....time flies when you're having fun.....they had a handful of fans in the Arkells who were making a bit of noise....so MSD (Mad Swindon Dad) spent the entire evening firing off his own inimitible brand of abuse at them.....it was a meeting of like minds.   Almost touching in a  strange way.

Caton and Jutckiewicz set to start up front. Should be interesting.

Because Salisbury have a big game coming up there is no way Salisbury go into this game 100% like the Wiltshire Shield opposition usually do. I'm sure we'll win comfortably (famous last words). Only Chippenham take this competition seriously!

even Salisbury are too big for this competition now

Hmmm I might go now but I cant help but think its sad as fuck.

I will be going and yes Yeovil, it is as sad as fuck.

look out for the ROCK flag!  :wink:

what time is kick off?

7.45 DV

i'll be there!

I've managed to talk the missus round, so I'm going too  :D

see you chaps there then...  :|

my phone is fucked if anyobne's been trying to get hold of me. i'll be there but doing t'scoreboard

Anyone got any idea what stands will be open? Will it be just t'Arkells?

still want to give me a lift or not, you said youd text but havent for obvious reasons...

i can't really mate sorry

no worries....as I said before not a problem at all

FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!

i'll fight u bennett'

whatever. i don't let your sort get anywhere near me

Now now children

is there anyway i could listin to it 2nite?

Sit outside the County Ground?

What if im at home

Meh, i'm fresh out of ideas

crap, I forgot to go

:D

Anybody know how its going?

We're 3-0 up allready.

If true, not suprising.

Stroud hattrick hopefully. That's a left winger who wants to wear the shirt...

1-1 at half time, Wells scoring for us.

I think Matty Bulman is in goal for Salisbury...

I think he and Ben Wells have to really impress Sturrock to get a contract extention.

I can't see them staying beyond there current contracts which may sound harsh.

Not harsh at all - Sturrock will want room for his own people this summer, tailored to his style.

Just hope they get a decent crack at it first of all - can't see Ben Wells getting a go, but on what we've seen I reckon Stroud's a decent winger

It finished 1-1.

I find it ridiculous that the Wiltshire Shield has two legs! Especially as it's not 'til January.

That's a crap result with the players that were playing for us tonight, i don't think Sturrock will be very impressed.

When you have the likes of platt, whalley, lukas, caton, monkhouse, pook etc playing you would expect to beat a team like salisbury surely??

 Why...at  our level the players are fairly interchangable.....there's plenty in non league who are as good as what we've got and plenty at our level who wouldn't look out of place in the non league.

 Last year at the same stage we beat Sarum 1-0 with a screamer from Colin Heath...although he was on the books at ManUre.....I daresy he's non league bound if not already there.

Sturrock Out

Close enough Reg, he's at Macclesfield.

If i was Sturrock i'd get shot of pook, shakes, brownlie, whalley, gurney and brown and bring in 3 or 4 better players!!

 Maybe the Guvner can sort him out then......I saw Heath score 3 cracking goals at the CG.....mixed in with clueless crap.

you'd shed 6 players for "3 or 4 better players"? this seems foolhardy to me

i don't think anyone did themselves any favours tonight apart from leigh henry, ccp and stroud. no one was particularly appaling though, apart from the ref

But your not Sturrock are you.

great idea that, now whose going to fund paying all those contracts up and then introducing 4 more?

you're*

who's that aimed at? i'd like to think pretty much everyone apart from a certain mr sturrock

Well Gurney, Brown and Brownlie are out of contract at the end of the season, not sure about Pook and Shakes, i'd get rid of Vincent as well he's crap!!!!

sturrock didnt look happy as he went down the tunnel at half time shaking his head, maybe cos are loan keeper was having a mare again

 :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

i love the way you're banging on about punctuation (i saw it pre-edit)

"Food for thought"

http://www.swindontownfc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/News/SturrockDetails/0,,10341~928177,00.html

a nothing game really.

I expect Lonergan is already driving back to Preston, he was awful and at fault for the goal. He made Matt Bulman look good!

Bulman should have been sent off! and one of their defenders has a nice handful of Lukas shirt and he went through on goal

Backline of Doe, Henry, CCP & Kennedy looked fairly solid second half.

Ben Wells has a decent cross, no one attacked them though

Stroud looked handy when given the ball.

Leigh Henry surprised me, very good defender, even passing through balls to the strikers feet. He looks pretty decent

it was a subtle pre-kick to  retarded post  8)  i didn't know you cared though dave

does whalley have a future with us?

woeful game, painfully boring in all honesty.

if tonight's game was the opportunity to impress sturrock, nobody did themselves any favours.

stewart probably proved himself a worthy number two if nothing else.

lukas worked hard and had a few half chances.

as dv said, lonergan made a royal cock-up for the goal but otherwise he was average but didn't have much to do. wouldn't be surprised to see him sent back to preston, especially if the deal specifies he is first choice.

lonergan cudnt catch or kick and as a keeper linda needs to do that. give me smith over him on saturday. waste of a loan

sounds crap. i bet there will be a fair few changes in january

Lonergan has a very good reputation... He's rusty and yes we might as well let him go back to Preston... Some loans signings work (Henderson, Davis, Milner) most don't work out!

Williams was concluding Wise's last act at the club by bringing him in.

im rusty but could still kick a ball, well till the hamstring goes

Fair enough.

 :)

Lonergan was crap. He'll be straight back to Preston today.

The ref was god awful, Salisbury should have had at least three sent off for well timed elbows and punches. CCP made up for it by mullering their number 10 though.

Was very impressed with Lukas, held the ball up well and had a few half chances. Stroud showed some good touches but didn't do much to impress Sturrock.

Leigh Henry looked solid, made a great sliding tackle, then block tackle, then side stepped a Salisbury player and played a ball to Caton's feet. Ace  8)

I seem to remember saying that the day we signed him that he never looked good to me .. Smith HAS to play Saturday .. overall thought CCP and Leigh Henry did ok ..Monky did well on first game back .. Whalley started well and faded as always (and seemed to pick up an ankle knock) .. The Rock wasnt at his best but got better 2nd half .. Lukas was our MOM .. Caton quite anonymous .. was very impressed with Mustapha when he came on as sub .. small but very very skilful

Oh and on the plus side the Rock signed the flag .. top man Pooky! :beers:

Fuck me Lonnergan looked like he was on drugs! He was truly dreadful. The bloke was shaking his head at half time looking like he was going to cry. I was honestly asking if it was the same keeper we had in goal vs Lincoln.

Dissapointed with Lukas and Caton. But thats my high expectations of the two players talking. Really only went to watch those two. Caton is looking more and more like Roberts! I hope hes not getting big time because he didnt get in the game nearly enough.

Ive heard Sturrock likes a good crosser of the ball. So I wouldnt be at all suprised if he takes to David Stroud who put some superb balls in all game. Wells worked hard too. Fingers crossed for those two. I still like the look of them. Pookys shooting is woeful. Whalley, I think Sturrock will keep trying with him, always plays some nice balls, good awareness. But barely fit.

It wasn't the same keeper 8)

I went it was crap and no one really stood out.Personally I cant see Lucas scoring many for the first team,maybe in a year ot two but not now.

Sturrock's said in his interview that Lukas did brilliantly...so at least he made an impressio there. Holding the ball up is 9/10s of it for Sturrock, so wouldn't be surprised to see him in and around the side a bit more.

Who was putting those crosses in from the right in the 2nd half?

Was it Wells or Stroud?

It was Wells - Who I thought was MOTM. In all honesty I'd give him a go on the right wing for the 1st team. He looked tidy on the ball and put some good crosses in.  

Stroud did ok as well. Leigh Henry and CCP were ok. Whalley is shit, sturrock isnt going to like him and he'll be off soon

Agreed mate, he put in better crosses than the 1st team have this season.

And Lonergan was in goal for Hereford.  :mrgreen:

oh yes, and lonergan was fucking useless

So Proctor, McPhee, and Lonergan have all been pretty useless, and paid for by the RAF. I'd be pretty pissed off if i'd donated!! :wink:

I wouldn't be surprised if Sturrock brought in the French bloke from Plymouth who is their no.2 at the moment.

And Mustapha Carayol is black :shock:

Not that thats a problem, I was just expecting him to look a bit Turkish with a name like that

I expected him to look like a pencil because Bennett kept calling him Crayola.

I thought Leigh Henry was fantastic. MOM for me. I also would like to see more of Carayol, he was pacy and tricky if a little greedy.

I was expecting more of a performance from Pooky, he seemed a little absent to me.

our central midfield was anonymous which is surprising considering how much the wingers got into the game.

hehe, I liked the bit about todays attendance Sonic "4983"

Did you do that on purpose?

:D  Top stuff

Wells put in some good crosses, but clearly isnt a winger, no pace or ability to get past a man, quite tidy on the ball

Merge Wells with Shakes and you get a decent winger with a massive head...

Where's Ashan Holgate at the moment? Is he still at Newport? Cause I would have expected him to feature in a game like this.

I said the same thing last night, I was going to find out and then forgot...

He is injured I believe.

Not sure about Holgate. He hasn't been used at Newport since 7 October against Cambridge City according to their website. I think Sturrock said he was injured?

He did indeed. In the Radio Q&A.

knew I heard it somewhere!
