Ungrateful Chippenham Town fans

[Rich Pullen]

I've been really wound up by a couple of comments I've seen reference our friendly at Hardenhuish Park this summer - by all accounts a good few of their supporters are disappointed by it and would have preferred Bristol City.

Yes, I've taken the bait. Yes, many CTFC are Bristol City fans that lurk in the shadows waiting for something good to happen - but jesus, does this prove that beggers can be choosers!

Would be worth a shot, esp if they do reach the Premier. No disrespect to Swindon, but a PREMIERSHIP City side would fill HP to capacity.

Grrr.

Dont think a friendly against Swindon would do much for the coffers, probably OK for Adie to watch triallists.

What?

I think would be much better then playing Swindon if we were and able to get Bristol City up to Hardenhuish Park  worth a try!

Because at Chippenham the fans arrange the friendlies?!?!

Watching Swindon Town Bores me ZZZ.

Fuck off.

I for one am glad they didn't get promoted. Rant over.

Chippenham is a dump of a club anyway.

If I was in their boat a Bristol City friendly would appeal more than a Swindon friendly, especially if we played like we did in the Wiltshire Shield.

My old man is an associate director at CTFC or something like that but I hate them.

and I agree with you there - I'd prefer Portsmouth instead of Southampton for example... but for christ sake how ungrateful for a Non-League club to be so arrogant in their disappointment!

[pumbaa]

I think I've mentioned before that my cousin runs the 'shop' there. Being a Chippenham fella myself, I can't help but feel a little disappointed in the attitude. But then my home town does have more than its fair share of spastics.

In all honesty though, would Bristol City bring along a first team 'Premiership' * squad for a pre-season friendly at Chippenham? Somehow I think not.....

* [assumption]they make the premiership[/assumption]

They just have a chip on their shoulder because I suspect a large proportion of their potential fan base (those that watch live football) will probably go and watch Swindon.

The best way to express your anger would be to turn up at HP and show them up.

Haven't we got Pompey too? I thought we had both FA Cup finalists.

[Rich Pullen]

We do - I was just using those two teams as an example.

[Spencer_White]

Their ground is a dump considering the level they play at.

Chippenham Town.....the film Deliverance comes to mind!

[Rich Pullen]

I'm pretty much over that now  

[Iffy's Onion Bhaji]

I couldn't give a fuck about Chippenham. I don't know why some people on here do really  

[Spencer_White]

And to be fair we do put reserve sides out against Chippenham twice a season, so its only natural that they would fancy playing other local league sides.

But you do worry, because Chippenham should be rock solid STFC support (like Melksham), but it isnt.

[Simon Pieman]

After meeting a few of their fans last season, I certainly wouldn't want such inbred yokels supporting us
