Title: How many times have there been two Wiltshire clubs...
Post by: flammableBen on Friday, November 6, 2009, 00:35:26
...playing in the same proper league level round of a football competition?

Chippenham or Supermarine have never made the first round of the FA Cup have they? Didn't Salisbury make it a few years ago which makes this the second time at least. So I'm guessing the third time, because I'm sure I forgot one.

Salisbury have made it a few times in the last decade I'm sure.

I remember them playing notts forrest or someone.

Really this thread is to highlight how funny it is that Salisbury are in the same league as Oxford.

I'm sure Chippenham made the first round 2 or 3 years ago didn't they?

No they have never made it that far. This saeson they had there best chance, but blew it by losing to Paulton. Missed out on Norwich at Home !

Didn't trowbridge have a half decent non-league team about 20 years ago?they may have made it the the first round.

Indeed they did until going bust...we saw off the might of the county town in 1895/96 in the cup. 3-1 on their dung heap. Chippenham were put in their place in the same comp...5-0 in at the CG, 02/03.

I saw us do Sarum 4-0 in 67/68...Pat Terry scoring a hat trick.

What is still funny is that Oxford are two promotions away from playing us and two relegations away from playing Swindon Supermarine (well this season anyway) but wouldn't that be great.

I'd actually prefer Oxford to get the two promotions so we could play them.  Nothing beats a good derby game.
