Tuesday 12th july, note it in your diarys jannage and blinkpip!  :D  hopefully c u there. Come on you lilywhites!

well we lost 2-0. Herring played, got his great running style as usual.

  I love the way you gave this fixture the big build up....only to be let down on the night...its what being a football fan is all about. Classic Johno. 8)

it was crap, aload of chippenham fans just giving us mouth for the whole game. funny though when us lot chanted over them and they just got stressy like little kids. tried insulting but we didn't care and just laughed.

yeh well not surprised we lost, but calne didn't really trouble the keeper. so quite a boring game really!

  What claim to fame has Chippenham got.....Calne had the world mile record holder for 29 years in the late 19th early 20th Century.

Reg I love your facts!

also guy found out about oxygen in calne called joesph priestley....not joking, plaque about it at doctors ponds.

Yep Priestley discovered oxygen whilst living in Calne and the bloke who had the world record opened the town hall I do believe!!

I can't stand Herring, he's a big headed ugly bastard, in my humble opinion that is!!

he wasn't that great, just ran around really like usual. obviously though he was one of there more inspirational players...if calnes defence was tighther though i reckon we could have taken it into extra time.

 Priestley did his work at Bowood House, when he was employed as librarian by a Shelbourne.......it tells you all about it there.

 Did you used to go to the adventure playground there Johno....when you were little (last year)?

What league are Calne in? does it feed into the Southern Premier?

no i walk past the plaque reg, also i didn't go to 'preistley' school. rubbish that school, cheaters to when it came to footie!  :x but the rec playground WAS a good'un.

uh there in the toolstation premier division which does feed into the southern premier at some point. dunno how far calne would be if they got promoted from chippenham. I assume we would go into the dr martens southern premier.

You've never been to the big pirateship thing with the overhead walkway and the death slide at Bowood? :shock:  

 I'm assuming its still there, when my kids were little, had a season ticket....take some of their mates and a great day out.......apart from an odd Sh**ty shirt.

yeh i have been on it, when i was little....(last year haha, im funny) was very good, now i would probably brake it.  :(  i believe all of it is still there. the slides were quality!  :D

Bowood house is in Derry Hill though surely?

The adventure playground there is amazing, the Death Slide used to scare the nuts off me.   :shock:

I'm guessing that although Priestley did his research at Bowood , he must have had a billet in Calne....a Rotten Borough much much loathed by William Cobbett....

william peel as in the "peelers"was mp for chippenham, i think he was from there.

and didnt eddie cochrane die in chippenham? cant think of anything else

we don't wanna talk about chippenham  :wink:

well the plague at doctors pond said he discovered oxygen in calne...so, i'll go by the plaque  8)

 Priestley may well have lived in Calne, but he did the research at Bowood, now you've finished exams Johno, here's a bit of education for you......find out if Priesley lived in Calne and whereabouts it was.

i would reg...i really would, but i don't want to.  :wink:

johno is ace

You're not allowed to go down the death slide if you're over 12, but you can break in at night easily.  I'm a bit old for that now.

David Icke did/does live in Chippenham........watch out for those reptilians :shock:
