First Team – TBA Slimbridge, like last Tuesdays opponents Binfield, are one of the sides fighting for the league First Team Tracksuits & T-shirts – C.S. Building Services title. It will be a tough game again today and our record against Slimbridge is not good, in fact it took the game at the end of last season to avoid defeat for the first time in what was our tenth and Macmillan Cancer Support attempt. The match report from that famous victory which provided the platform for our Reserves – Ganges Indian Cuisine promotion push is featured in todays programme. The fortunes of the two sides in the Premier Under 18 Floodlit – Quickmovenow.com Division are something of a contrast. Whilst the two sides were only separated by goal difference at the end of last season this season sees Slimbridge challenging for the title whilst we are Ladies – Aftech Sheet metal & fabrications and involved in a fight to avoid relegation at the other end of the table.

Any contributions to the programme would be greatly appreciated and give all our groundside board sponsors motivation to carry on doing this next season!! WORLD OF FOOTBALL this week, Stuart Smedley on the subject of crowds The Swindon Supermarine fans forum has made interesting reading in the past couple of weeks. After their excellent success in the FA Cup earlier this season, it would have been expected that their run to the competitions second round would have led to a surge in attendances at Hunts Copse (or Webbs Wood Stadium as it is now called) given the publicity that the club gained.

Offering them hope that this would be the case was the fact their first round home tie against Eastwood Town attracted nearly 1200 fans. Meanwhile, fellow Southern League side Paulton Rovers saw their average league attendance jump to 238 following their run to the first round last season, where they were thumped at home by Norwich City; a season before their average gate was 164. (This season it has dipped, but is still so far at 200).

For Supermarine though it has not happened. In fact the reverse has been the case. This year, they are averaging 154 fans a game in the league, third lowest in the Zamaretto Premier behind Evesham United and Cirencester Town. Even worse, this is down from last season when they attracted 181 fans per league match.

It begs the question why? Three factors can be considered as explanations: the clubs size, their history and location.

Having been a one team club for the majority of their existence (Marine have since added a successful Ladies side and a few youth teams), generating bonds with the club will undoubtedly have been difficult because few players will have grown up having played for them. Yet even clubs with numerous sides at youth level, such as Ciren, struggle to pull people through the gate for their first team matches. Despite our clubs size too it is disappointing that few youth section players or parents are seen in the stands at Rylands Way games, but compared to the Hellenic average, our crowds are reasonable.

Success on the field has no doubt been helpful for Chippenham Town locally. On average, more than 400 fans attend Hardenhuish Park for the Bluebirds matches, many of whom would have been attracted to the club after their FA Vase success at the turn of the Millennium. Within the Hellenic League, Trowbridge Towns glorious past arguably helps keep them atop the Division One West attendance charts despite their current struggles on the pitch. Now though their crowd numbers are beginning to decline. Supermarines dwindling support post their glorious run is therefore an anomaly.

Consequently, it seems that the most important issue affecting them is their isolation. With their ground not within walking distance of any built up areas, the need to hop in a car to get out to South Marston can be seen as deterring people from attending. The same can be said for Ciren, whose Corinium Stadium is on the outskirts of the town. In comparison Chippenham, Highworth, Purton (and Bassett to a slightly lesser extent) are easy to get to for townsfolk and all enjoy relatively healthy crowds for their level.

Theres a lesson in this for Bassett too with the potential relocation. Given the site being situated on the edge of town, we are going to have to get creative in order to maintain, and hopefully increase, our attendance levels. If we can continue to improve on the pitch, that will draw in a few more. But to realise the clubs full potential when the move occurs, scheduling some youth team fixtures on Saturdays to get players and parents staying behind for first team action; staging the odd first team fixture on a Friday night (as Witney United have done and achieved some massive crowds) to avoid clashes with our local rivals and Swindon Town; and developing a greater club ethos are necessary.

FROM THE DUGOUT

Firstly I would like to welcome the players, officials and supporters of Slimbridge to Rylands Way. We hope you enjoy your short stay with us and will join us all for a drink in the bar after the game.

On Tuesday night we were back to our best against a very good Binfield side and for long periods we matched them in every department. What let us down was our defending from set plays, this was something we spoke about prior to the game but we just never dealt with the threat on the night.

The most pleasing aspect of the night for me was the reaction of the Binfield fans to our players. All their fans congregated outside the changing room entrance and applauded all our team off the pitch. It just goes to show what a knowledgeable group of fans Binfield have. Our players gave their all and it was great to see my players getting the credit that they deserved.

This has been a tough season and we have always tried to play the right way so it was great to get such a warm reaction from a very good team who are so well supported. It will be very close at the top of the table, but I hope Binfield can go on and win the title.

The other highlight of the evening was the fine performance of Adam Topping. His performance was superb against a very tough and experienced defence. He will only get better with more games. Simon Paish has done a great job in the way he has helped developed him this season.

Less than 48 hours after our game against Binfield we have to travel to Flackwell Heath for a quarter final game in the challenge cup. The schedule we have in the run in is incredible but we will be giving our all as we do every time we take to the field. I just wonder if there is a better way of spacing the games out earlier in the season so we do not have to be involved in so many games in such a short space of time.

However, two second half goals from bravely kept an overhit Matty Bown free kick in play, but Craig Shand could only blast over from Mizzen gave Westbury the points.

However the visitors reacted with intent, pinning their hosts into their own half for the majority of the remaining time in the first half. Yet, resolute from Dunford, Beazley and Embling. Indeed Bassett scored all three goals in the first ten defending, a staple of Turner’s reign in the Rylands Way hotseat, limited them to a handful of half minutes of the match but second half goals from Sheppard and S.

The best the visiting side could muster prior to the break would come from a free kick on but two welcome points in a tough season. the stroke of half time, which Joe Tustain struck beautifully, but he could not beat Stewart Thompson, whose acrobatics ensured the ball found the roof rather than the back of the net. Wootton Bassett finished the season with five away games. Goals from Brown 2, Beazley and Embling gave them the double over Warminster Town. This was followed by a 3-6 The Bassett shotstopper, as good as they come in Division One West, though could do next to nothing to deny the forward shortly after the restart.

Trailing one team each year with a cup awarded to the winner of the one game. In 1937-38 the game once more, Slimbridge threw everything they had at Bassett in the dying stages. As in the first half against Swindon Town was played at the County Ground and Wootton Bassett won the cup, though, they were met with spirited resistance. Thompson was in imperious form, brilliantly denying substitute Andy Varnham’s snap shot with a fine parry low to his left, before saving low although under the circumstances not something that you can really include in the Club’s from a venomous Tustain free kick with seven minutes to go. The visitor’s goalscorer, who seemed honours chart.

But his, and his teammate’s efforts, would ultimately prove to be in vain. Those eight previous defeats to their Gloucestershire opponents?

Bassett Suffer a Piercing Blow Scours Lane, 26th March 2011 It is well and truly squeaky bum time for Wootton Bassett Town after their 2-1 defeat at the hands of Reading Town, coupled with victories for fellow strugglers Bracknell Town and Carterton, narrowed the breathing space Dave Turners team have as their Hellenic League Premier Division campaign enters its final stages. A stunning strike from Jamie Pierce with twenty minutes to go decided the game in the hosts favour 1902/03 Wiltshire Senior Cup Runners-up after Bassett had rode their luck throughout the first period before equalising through Tom Dingle. 1902/03 Advertiser Cup Runners-up Reading were in the end well worth the three points, but it was another missed opportunity for Bassett, 1903/04 Wiltshire Senior Cup Runners-up still with five games left against teams battling it out for honours at the other end of the table, to get 1905/06 Wiltshire County League Runners-up themselves out of danger. After troubling league leaders Ardley United in midweek, Bassett reverted to 1930/31 Calne & District League Runners-up their midseason form that saw them slip into trouble with a frustratingly below par display. Although Ethan Delaney and Sam Collier threatened early, both seeing shots narrowly miss the target, Reading 1931/32 Calne & District League Champions were dominant in the first half. Spearheading their charge was centre forward Marcus Richardson, 1933/34 Vale of White Horse Cup Winners whose ability to hold the ball up, made livewire pair Danny Seaward and Ashley Watkins, both 1934/35 Calne & District League Champions intelligent with their runs, even more dangerous. In the 25th minute, the journeyman former pro, sent Calne & District League Cup Winners Seaward down the left flank, his cross being met by Jordan Cousineau, who headed across goal and 1935/36 Calne & District League Champions narrowly wide. Despite their attacking quality, Bassett appeared more than willing to create problems Calne & District League Cup Runners-up for themselves with wastefulness in the midfield, which saw possession conceded all too easily. And it 1938/39 Brotherhood Cup Winners would be this failing, which played a crucial role in the hosts opener with twelve minutes to go before half time. Quick to counter, the ball was played into Richardson just inside the visitors half of the field. 1953/54 Vale of White Horse Cup Winners An unmarked Watkins was then played in down the left flank and he centred for Cousineau, making a 1957/58 Chippenham & District League Division 2 Champions late darting run, to direct the ball into the bottom right corner past a helpless Luke Sharps. The visitors 1958/59 Wiltshire League Division 1 Champions seemed not to have learned their lesson after conceding a goal from such a simple, yet effective move. 1978/79 Wiltshire County League Division 2 Runners-up Two minutes later, Watkins blazed narrowly over after Seaward had beaten the offside trap and crossed Wiltshire County League Subsidiary Cup Winners from the right. Then, on the stroke of half time, Watkins breezed past right back Craig Bowden before 1982/83 Wiltshire County League Division 4 Runners-up delivering a dangerous low cross, which Richardson struck over with a first time effort. 1983/84 Wiltshire County League Ghia Senior Cup Winners

To their credit, Bassett came out after the break a changed side. Tightened up at the back and less 1984/85 Wiltshire County League Division 2 Champions carefree when in control of the ball, they actually began to threaten and were rewarded for their Wiltshire County League Ghia Junior Cup Runners-up enterprise on 67 minutes. A quick corner from Delaney to Matt Bown stung the unprepared hosts, and 1987/88 Wiltshire County League Division 1 Champions the latters weighted delivery was met by Dingle, who rose highest and looped a header into the back of Wiltshire Senior Cup Runners-up the net with the help of the left-hand post. It was to be a fleeting lifeline though. Moments after an 1988/89 Wiltshire County League Ghia Junior Cup Runners-up innocuous Richardson flick on had Sharps scrambling to bundle the ball away from danger after having 1989/90 Hellenic League Division 1 Cup Winners hit the near post, the hosts retook the lead. After a weighted free kick taken from the halfway line, the 1993/94 Hellenic League Division 1 Cup Winners burly Richardson set the ball perfectly for Jamie Piercey, who lashed an unstoppable volley into the bottom left corner from the right hand edge of the box. It was a hammer blow from which Bassett could 1994/95 Hellenic League Division 1 Cup Runners-up not recover, try as they did for the final twenty minutes. Defeat means they slip a further place to 17th, 1998/99 Wiltshire Senior Cup Winners just five points ahead of fourth bottom Witney United. Time to dig deep. 2000/01 Wiltshire Senior Cup Winners Hellenic League Reserves Division 2 West Champions Scoops Man of the Match: Tom Dingle. Was rewarded for his hard work with his second goal for 2009/10 Hellenic League Division 1 West Runners-up Bassett. Better service from his teammates is required though if his qualities are to be utilised fully.

Scoop Rating: 5/10. Reading dominated the midfield battle comfortably, which wound up deciding the game. Too haphazard in possession, Bassett created a number of problems for themselves, especially in the first half, from which the hosts fashioned a plethora of chances. Somewhat lucky to still be in the game at half time, Dave Turners side did claw their way back into the game, but after going behind again failed to muster anything meaningful in front of goal.
