Reserve Games to be Played at Hungerford Town

Where's hungerford?

I used to quite often wander down for the Wednesday afternoon friendlies when I was at New College. It was always either that or 3hours of maths. I rarely attended maths.

 I like popping down to the CG for the odd reserve game...they're a bit infrequent though now.....the likes of Plymuff I'm sure will appreciate the extra mileage.

Not far down the M4 Eastbound.....certainly not walking distance!

I used to live a matter of yards away from Central Park in Plymouth - They used to play their Reserves games at Home Park - I remember one season looking at their fixture list and seeing that the Swindon reserve game was one of only two reserve games to be played at Tiverton's ground.

I was unnecessarily fuming, so fuck em... they can travel the extra

I guess it's a generational thing but I still can't see or here the name Hungerford without a mental image of "nutter in a beanie hat with firearms" coming to mind.

Do the younger members of the forum have this association or do you have to have been around to have seen it on the news?

 I've walked from Hungerford to Swindon....6-7 hour walk.

  Quite a pleasant route...along the K and A for a bit, over to Ramsbury, then some paths and a bit of quiet lane past teh enigmatic Lewisham Castle.....on to just past Snap and then a variety of routes back to Swindon.

 I did a long one near to Barbury, but the old railway via Chisledon is decent and probably shorter and quicker.

Not-so-proud to say but Fact - he was a relation to my step-mum (cousin I think).

I was in Hungerford on my way from Thatcham to Swindon 1 hour before Ryan lost it.

I wasn't even 4 years old when it happened but it's the only thing I associate with Hungerford.

I played football for Hungerford at the time, at Bulpit lane in fact. Was only 8 or something though so don't remember it too well.
