signing tomorrow :beers:

http://www.swindontownfc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/News/NewsDetail/0,,10341~683670,00.html

Good news, Whalley looks a great signing and Nicolau, a promising young player in a position we need.

Paul Smith probably not signing though but I'm sure Kingy can find someone else.

Been reading a Nicolau thread on a Shrimpers forum - they all seem sad to lose him really - the ones who are saying good riddance seem to be a little bitter, but I'll let you decide that for yourselves:

i'm looking forward to this cirencester game on thurs so i can see them all in action! will be like a completely new team  :D

i take it we're not signing dean gordon then if nicolau is definatly coming

And im sure if Nicolau had signed for Southend they would all be saying how good he is!.

Quite.

Found this on Gareth Whalley, looks like weve got ourselves a good midfielder here

CIRENCESTER THURS, ANYONE GOT ANY IDEA WHERE IT IS OR COST TIEMS ETC? mIGHT AS WELL POP ALONG

well done spuddy, that was posted 5 days ago! :clown:

http://thetownend.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4408

Did anyone else notice that some of their forum members were lined up to sponsor his kit?
Fancy that..

one lil question, how the fuck did they get nike as their kit manufacturer?

least they can all say that they will save money now and wont waste it on a rubbish player??!!!

but they wouldn't be saying that if he had stayed now would they :twisted:

Yeah, they obviously liked him.  Wonder how many other clubs have a forum kit sponsor.  Anyone get a programme at all the away games?  Would be interesting to have a look at their sposorship page, personallu I don't buy programmes at all anymore.

dunno there probably payin nike

an experienced pro and a talented young 'un both in positions we need

it's all falling into place  8)

as mr Burns would say "excellent"

7pm KO I think.

2 ways to get there but:

-Take the A419 from Swindon towards Ciren.
-Leave at exit marked "Cirencester Industrial area"
-At slip road roundabout follow sign to Ciren
-At main roundabout (tesco one) do a U-Turn the way you just came since you can't turn down the turning you need coming from Swindon
- Take 1st left signposted preston (?)
- Stay on this road, ground is on left before kingshill school.

Cheers batch will be there now!is there a bar there?

How long does it take to get to Ciren?.

Have you never been north of Swindon before?

About 30 minutes id say! I will elave at 6 I think

The last time i went to Ciren was about 6 years ago when i was playing for the college footy team, i didnt take much notice of how long it took to get there as i was too busy chatting. :D

Ciren. Depends where in Swindon you live really. I can do the M4 to my mums in about 20 mins or less on a good day, so 30 is about right.

There is a bar there. I assume it will be open.

I live near Dorcan school, might have to see if anyone at work is going and skank a lift.

Your not Ian Mudd are you? I blooming knew it, I used to play footy with you at school!

Still need a tough-tackling midfielder, an experienced centre-back and possibly stronger back-up in goal.

Paul Smith would seem to fit the necessary midfield requirement but the lack of news today has me feeling pessimistic about our prospects of landing him, and we can probably make do with Bulman as back up for Rhys barring any long-term injuries or major losses of form.
Have we had any news on potential centre-backs?

And who might you be?. its a small world.

Thnink about it, I lived in Liden! I was the year above you but I went to footy with Wilmer etc!

Where abouts in Liden? Do you know any of the Wyatts??

For Cirencester head towards the new ASDA and the 419 is near there, just head down there and it is all signposted :)

What numbers do you think Whalley and Nicolau will have??

i think Nicolau will get 7, Whalley probably number 4?

Ian Wilmer?

Ah hello Mr Caine. :D

Yes Ian Wilmer.

Cirencester is less than 20 minutes from most of Swindon. I live between the two and get to either in under ten minutes. You could probably walk there.

That would take four hours at least.

Fuck that  :shock:

It's about 15 miles, so hour an a half walk no worries.8)

But it's literally straight down the a419 which is a nice quick road, couldn't be easier to get to from Swindon, though there was a speed camera at the bottom of Blunsdon hill the other day so watch out for that.

Ok i'll let the driver know  :beers:

Speed camera is often at the bottom of Blunsdon hill and sometimes on the bridges over the A419. Thats when they are not staking out the M4 en mass.

Wilts constabulary, don't you just love 'em.

Dont you just love the money hungry Government behind the cameras.

Hope you don't know me then!  Seeing as I lived in Liden for many a year!!

admission prices are £7 adults, £5 Concessions and £1 for Children all pay on the night

KO is 7:30, and there is a bar there which i presume will be open  :beers:

7:30pm! damn i cant go now. :|

I think I may pop over 8)

Living in Liden did you both go to Dorcan?!

I went there, few years below you mind

Still live near it.....must live near spuddy :shock:

best bit is the vans aint around and about at 5 in the morning, missing the empty, open roads, and my wee car coming back from work...  :-))(

Sorry for the duff info on Ciren  KO time, got that from a different site. Not reread this thread but:

£7 for Adults and £4 for concessions. £50p for a programme and cheap beer, according to a reply to another Town fans question  on Ciren Towns website forum.

Uniteresting facts #1: I played for Ciren Town U17 when I was younger. Which sounds more impressive that it is.

Nah, I was a Joey!  8)  8)  8)  8)  :twisted:

Yeah ian wilmer and yeah spud its me! Yeap I did go to dorcan but that was mid 90's dont live in liden anymore tho

Scum....

Used to make me laugh....the so called Dorcan/Joey arranged fights. You'd always here a time and place.....no one was ever there though....

back in early 90's someone got arrested for taking a cross bow! Not sure how true tho, cross bows are nasty pieces

A mate of mine brought in a knife (this would be 98ish dunno if youd have still been there) and he stashed it in a bush outside the tech block like a total plank and Mr. Jackson found it :roll:

ha ha Mr Jackson! Nah I left 97 I think.

Yeah Mr. Jackson with his big beard and terrible breath....

Best teacher was my tutor.....Roy Haskins....legend....everyone wound him up his veins would pop out his head and he started twidiling his hands (and GIANT thumbs) then go into a rage of shouting and throwing stuff, slaming doors and breaking them.....

Oh the days......

Yeah, I remember those days!!  It was always supposed to be in one of two places.  Up by Covingham shops, or down by Eldene Bridge!  At least that's what I remember!  Anyways, we'd have kicked Dorcan scum!   :twisted:

HaHaHa indeed, so true

Apart from being able to kick us.....only thing you would have done is hit us with your bible....!! :shock:

That's nothing! Me and Gripper Stebson nicked some sports trophies from the Headmasters office.Yeovil Patterson and Roland Youth grassed us up and we got a years worth of detention from Bullet Baxter :x

soapy tit wank, we had pretty thick bibles back then!  I remember a poor CofE chap who for some reason was at our school.  He used to get a few beatings from various members of the 'establishment' I seem to recall.

Mind you, I left the land of the Joey behind in 1994, and embarked upon a more fruitful adventure of A-Levels, beer, women, and well, that's about it!

second day at secondary school i got busted for smoking.
fucking shit myself :shock:

worst thing i did was beat up some kid infront of the dept head.
but best thing was he let me off cos the kid was a cunt :beers:

Old skool  8)

memories hey! only teacher I had respect for was some geography teacher called oh bollocks i cant remember his name, he was chubby and a rovers fan.

Never respected anyone in my life unless theyve done something.  In london soem teacher called mr dixon was a economics teacher who had worked in teh city, only man I had ever respected in a classroom.

only teacher i had respect for was Miss Simper.
She was a deputy head at Chipping Norton and was fucking first class.

not once did i miss behave with her. she was quality and helped me out when i was in shit loads of times.

I think your on about Mr Cakebread?,now he was one teacher who i wouldnt mess with!, i can remember him throwing a piece of Chalk at someones head  :D

suddenly i feel reaaaaaaaally outnumbered, any other ex-Kingsdown peeps? or just me?

This is now an official ex-Dorcan pupil thread

Only good thing about Dorcan is the astro turf.

and thats the hockey pitch......

Nowt wrong with hockey. :mrgreen:

I went to Ridgeway. Different class!

Yes of course, us going to a non posh school left us so far behind you in life didnt it?!?!?! ha ha

you reckon Ridgeway was posh? You should have seen the private school I had to go to in New Zealand (there were no places anywhere else). And it was a boys school  :(

explains a lot about you! ha ha

I didn't go to Dorcan or live in Liden. Good signings though.

good old bentley, we now have cricket nets  8)

oh yeh, don't know much about nicholau or however you spell it...

Id agree with that!, i can remember the old astro turf which resembled concrete.... :(

spud, remember how many hours us lads use to spend on there or also down liden park

Liden park was the daily Mecca of Football.

According to thisisstfc-they signing tomorrow-why do they put us through this torture?

And then it will be Thursday and then Friday. :roll:

Offical now:

"they are a massive club and have done well over the years" quotes Nicolau.  That made me laugh a bit to be honest!! :soapy tit wank:
