if you don't live too far away and you've got nowt to do tonight, get your arse along to the county ground.

it's only a fiver and will be a good opportunity to see some of the youths and reserves in action if you're unable to go to reserve games due to the afternoon kick-offs.

kick-off is 7:30pm, £5 for adults and £1 for children. imagine the club's surprise if nearly 1,000 people turned up  :D

of course, if you've got other stuff to do or can't be arsed then i can't blame you, but try and make the effort. i'll buy you a pint

i'm giving this serious consideration. i want to see what Ben Wells can offer, how shit Chris Taylor is, and whether Thorpe can actually still fill the onion bag.

if anyone does come, sit in front of the pressbox please 8)

Where's my pint?
Same place as normal

rudeboydreas, who is that picture of in your avatar?

Andreas were you in the Arkells on Saturday, Town End end???  I think I spotted you with your hat on?

We won 1-0. Heath grabbing the only goal.

heath scored? oh my god! was he on drugs?

A cracker from the edge of the box laid on by Wells.
Thorpe was useless, I dislike him more and more.
Bulman made some smart saves to keep us in it.

Twas a good goal aswell. From edge of area into top left.  :nod:

will Thorpe ever score?

Wow, what a game!  :?

1-0 win to Swindon, Heath with a left foot shot from outside the area into the top corner during the second half.

Thorpe was shit, had the ball at his feet within 6/7 yards of the goal on several occasions and didnt manage to get a shot on target.

Ben Wells did well, particularly in the second half. He did a very flash looking turn on the edge of the area, pro-evo-esque...nothing came of it though.

Our number 3 (left back) had a decent game, as did number 11 (David Stroud?). Bulman made a good save second half.

You didnt really miss much if you didnt go. Sat in the directors box in the second half...the comfy seats made it slightly more bare-able.

We may have sat near you chris, where did you sit??

I think I was three or four rows in front of you, sonic and mex in the second half.

That was ace, I travelled from Oxford, Whits came from Newbury and Mex came all the way from Brighton - LOYAL SUPPORTERS!

Pretty dull game but some nice football nevertheless, both Stroud and Wells stood out as good players whilst Thorpe was totally disinterested, made no effort to attack the ball from crosses and stood with his hands on his hips and sighing for most of the game. Went straight down the tunnel after he got subbed as well.

Heath's goal wasn't bad but he was shite for the rest of the game, constantly muscled off the ball by non-league part-timers whilst Collins looked to have finally found his level.

Chris - number 3 was Chris Taylor.

It was the best goal i've seen this season from us...doesn't say much though!!

Holgate skill's were really good. I had him down for mine motm with Henry.

did you keep looking round and laughing?

Cheers, I don't know if it is just because we were playing non-league opposition but he did a good job, one for the future perhaps...especially when we get relegated.

Laughing yes. Looking round, not really...once or twice.

Was sat to the right of two reporters...Jon Ritson, I think.  Trying to read what he was writing, but I think it was shorthand or some foreign language.

You were sat directly in front of us, you laughed at me when I shouted something and I got a bit paranoid  :D

I also laughed when you were kicked out of the directors area.  :D

 :oops:  i just wanted a beer and watch the football, surely i would get more angry if i downed my beer like i was forced to. there where no stewards and we still got caught!!

it was a nice pint though

bugger, it is a two-legged game

NEWS Heath Stunner Earns Win
Colin Heath's 25-yard stunner seals a Semi-Final First leg victory for Town in the Wiltshire Premier Shield.

the return leg is in january! where the fuck is salisbury?

 I sat with MSD....

 Enjoyed watching Chris Taylor at left back....perhaps it could resurrect his career.

  Also get a bit excited by Lucas Jutkeiwicz...he's a big lad.

MSD? Mike Spearman?

Are you trying to be purposefully vague Reg?  :D

 Mad Swindon Dad.

damn, nowhere near me. Will any of us ever get the pleasure of meeting you, Reg? I'm convinced you must know my Dad. Do you know Roger Bunce?

 Not Bunce nor Boggis nor Bean.

Sonicyouth, were you the one that was sat at the back of the VIP but got thrown out at half time and you claimed you were sitting there cause there were no other seats?  :D

I was the one sitting in Iffys chair btw  :oops:

 :soapy tit wank:

it was me that said there was no seats 8)

thought wells was good on the right but when he went into the middle after heath went off he disapeared, heath was quite good i thought, we stopped passing it after he got subbed and he scored a cracking goal

bulman made a brilliant save in the second half stroud was better in the first half than second and the rest of them were pretty poor.

i just travelled 250 miles to watch a reserve game i am officially a cunt.

not me but I tried to get in the director's box carrying a pint of bitter, I was the skinhead with a full length coat on.

Mex has already said that was him :roll:

yes and i was re-establishing the fact that it wasn't me specifically, but i was in the general vicinity and therefore was involved in the situation which elsetrap was referring to.

You just didn't read it, did you :P

i did actually so there!

Talk to the hand, the face ain't listening

your fingers are very red

I had my fingerprints burned off recently

Are you starting a hand gang?

No. A finger gang. The Red Finger Gang

Well done to all those that went ...  I couldnt even get there from Highworth .. glad to hear Henry was good again ... maybe we should try him up front as his old man converted well from defender to attacker! :beers:

I wouldnt get too excited about the result,Salisburys team was made up of reserves,youth and a couple of lads from the first team.
            Let me know if any of you are coming down for the second leg and we could have a TEF corner of the ground,And i might get the beers in :beers:

Whens it likely to be?

I think sometime in the middle of January,which will probably mean March. Salisbury have got a nice little set up ,the ground has only got three sides but the playing surface would not look out of place in the Championship.They signed Tommy Widdrington 2 days after Port vale played us last season at the county ground.They used to have good ties with Swindon,Ian Herring and Steve Mildenhall both had good loan spells there,and they had the clown Jimmy Glass for a couple of games.
                I cant get to many games at the CG so it would be good to meet a few from the forum and put faces to names.

We used to argue at work about Charlie, my school of thought being he was quick, commiitted, excellent shot, and scored a few, so in. Others thought he had poor control and touch and positioning, so out.
Leigh brought some memories back!

Sorry about the delayed reply. That's independant UK wrestler Flatliner (aka Chris Manns). Legend



Yeah, I'm always sat there

Good old Arkells
