Josh McHugh The two sides met for the first time back in 2006-7 when Lydney won both games against us by Alex Hornby two goals to one, Nathan Hall and Chris Mills scoring our consolation goals. A Scott Ward goal Managing Director gave us our first point against Lydney in Season 2008-09. The return game was lost 1-0.

Whilst Sam Packer Editorial & RWBTFC News

deservedly was voted man-of-the match special mention to youngster George Lance who started the game, was excellent all game, and was only taken off after being injured by a late tackle. With these youngsters coming through it certainly bodes well for the future.

Take a bow Dale Richards, Sam Packer and Nathan Hawkins who join Steve Yeardley, Dan Bailey, Liam Edmondson and Adam Corcoran in having reached this milestone.

Best Wishes and Next Up As this is our last First Team game before Christmas on behalf of the Club I would like to wish all of the management, players and spectators a Happy Christmas. I hope Santa brings you everything you asked him for and look forward to seeing you all here on Boxing Day for the big local derby encounter with Highworth Town. There should be a big crowd for the Boxing Day fixture and if you have visitors down this Christmas why not bring them along to the game on Boxing Day. Last season we had a crowd of 204 for the fixture and it would be great if we could exceed that total this season.

Before that game with Highworth there is more action at the New Gerard Buxton Ground. This coming Saturday, as noted above, the reserves entertain Corsham Town Reserves in the Wiltshire County league. Enjoy the game and hopefully a win for Royal Wootton Bassett Town that sees us through to the next round of this competition.

Opponents - History

Lydney Town FC • Club History Although Lydney is one of the main towns of the Forest area the Severnsiders have always led a very nomadic existence. With the town very much a Rugby stronghold the football club has always found it difficult to exist and although the club can trace its roots back to 1911 it never has had a sound base. The club competed in the local leagues until 1952 when they were elected to the Gloucestershire Northern Senior League. In 1969 the club folded due to lack of committee. In 1971 Are your skills on top form? the soccer lovers of the town pulled together and the club re-formed and in 1974 the appointment of Harold Elliott as player/coach saw many players from Lydney Juniors introduced with the resulting effect of promotion to Senior League Division One in 1976. During this period the club ComputerWorld offer Training in: switched from Bathurst Park onto the Recreation Ground using the changing facilities at the Cricket Club.  Applications In 1979-80 after twice finishing Runners-Up they finally lifted the Senior League Division One Champi-  Technical onship.

Ambitious plans to have our  E-Learning own clubhouse were still in the pipeline and a clubhouse was opened on Lydney Recreation Trust in 1990. In 1995 the club did the double by winning Division Two and the Forest Green Supporters Trophy, a feat they repeated in 1996-97.

The club turned to Stuart Liddington to take the helm and with Peter being persuaded to Check out our website at www.computerworld.co.uk assist him they forged a very successful partnership. The addition of Pete Macklin from Cinderford Town, Danny Clarke ex-Oxford United, Matthew Timmins from Whitecroft and the return of Mark Saunders from Australia gave the club a real See if there is a Define Tomorrow event near you at boost. Pete, Danny and ‘Matty’ provided the missing link in the goalscoring department scoring over 70 goals between them, www.definetomorrow.co.uk Danny leading the way with 32 goals. The Senior League title was secured with 4 games to go and they did the double by lifting the Senior Amateur Cup. The season was complete with the news of acceptance into the County League a prize denied to them some 25 years ago. The clubs County League campaign started in unconvincing fashion with only 4 points from 3 home games but a 20 game unbeaten run saw the club take over as league leaders at the start of 2006, a position they held for the remainder of the season. Scoring goals was very much the key to winning as 87 goals proved, ‘Matty’ Timmins finishing the leagues leading goal scorer with 28 goals. This success was beyond the clubs wildest dreams and gave the club the opportunity of a return to the Hellenic League after 22 years. A steady start saw the club 12 points behind the leaders in October but a 6 game winning streak at the end of the year saw the club take over as leaders at the start of January. The critical game came in mid-April with fellow title contenders Trowbridge Town visiting ‘The Rec’. In front of a crowd of 305 goals from Danny Clarke and Mark Crabbe secured victory and a 5 point cushion . With 3 games to go the Title was won at Malmesbury when Danny Bishop came off the subs bench to score 2 late goals and give the club an unprece- dented 3rd title in as many seasons. The squad had certainly exceeded all expectations and can quite easily be classed as the best in the clubs history. Ambitious plans for the required improvements to gain promotion were put forward and accepted by the League allowing the club to play at the highest level in its history.

A steady start was overshadowed by events off the pitch when despite gaining planning permission for erection of floodlights the club became embroiled in a sea of red tape with their landlords. To continue playing in the Premier Division an agreement was reached to use Cinderford Town and Harrow Hill for home games. Despite these off the pitch issues an unbeaten league run of 11 games placed them in the top half of the table. Despite finishing in 10th position the club were unable to satisfy the April deadline imposed by the league and were forced to be relegated back into Division One (West).

With relegation came the inevitable loss of players who wished to play at a higher level of football and the club decided to pin its future hopes on the youth of the town. Mark Lee, who joined the club 8 years ago from County League side Ellwood, took on the role of Player/Manager and despite a tough baptism over the last he is 6th year in charge. The club finished runners-up to Tytherington Rocks in 2014-15 but despite finishing in a promotion position ground development had not been completed by the March 31st deadline and a further season in Division One followed.

Determined that such a situation would not happen again further development work followed to ensure the necessary G grading but disappointingly after all the clubs efforts the club finished in third spot which would not necessarily ensure promotion. As luck would have it circumstances led to the club being offered a place in the Premier Division which they readily accepted but this again meant further development was needed to obtain an F Grading. On the pitch the team held ComputerWorld are proud sponsors of their own in the Premier despite long term injuries to key players Pat Gibbs, Jamie Addis & Jarred Liddington finishing in a respectable 12th position and with the installation of a 2nd stand the club successfully received an F Grade ensuring that Wootton Bassett Town Football Club they will compete in the Premier Division for the 2016-17 season.

Roy started life as a Melchester Rovers football 23-Aug-16 L Prem Tuffley Rovers 5 Lydney Town 2 Morley-Lyne, Pendrey 115 player in a weekly feature in the Tiger comic in 1954. Roy was so popular that 22 years later 29-Aug-16 W Prem Longlevens 0 Lydney Town 1 Thomas 70 he got his own publication which lasted until 1993. With the notable exception of players like 3-Sep-16 L Prem Henley Town 2 Lydney Town 1 Sheppard 30 Ryan Giggs, few players show the kind of loyalty exhibited by Roy who signed with boyhood 6-Sep-16 L Prem Lydney Town 1 Highworth Town 2 Hale 97 club Melchester Rovers in 1954 as a 14-year old and didn’t retire from playing until 1993 (only 10-Sep-16 W FA Vase Chertsey Town 1 Lydney Town 2 L.Halford, Macklin Tony Vines comes close). In 1983 he had his one stint away from the club when he played 21 17-Sep-16 L Prem Lydney Town 2 Bracknell Town 3 L.Halford, Lewis 60 games for Walford Rovers – scoring 45 goals – but couldn’t stay away and returned to Melchester within the year. 20-Sep-16 W Prem Lydney Town 2 Tuffley Rovers 1 Morley-Lyne, Hale 97 24-Sep-16 W FA Vase Lydney Town 2 AFC Porchester 0 Morley-Lyne, L.Halford 97 Roy was the main feature in the comic but there were other football stories such as Billy’s 27-Sep-16 W Prem Lydney Town 4 Royal W.Bassett T 3 L.Halford 2, N.Halford, Morley-Lyne 77 Boots (think Shaun Terry becoming a better player because he borrows his Dad Dave’s 1-Oct-16 W Bluefin Cup Wokingham & Emm 3 Lydney Town 4 Gibbs, Lewis, Sheppard, N.Halford 55 boots) and Hotshot Hamish amongst others. In total the Roy of the Rovers ran for 851 issues. 8-Oct-16 W Prem Ascot United 0 Lydney Town 2 Gibbs, N.Halford 37 At the peak of the comic's success about 450,000 copies were sold each week. There were also hardback annuals. 11-Oct-16 W GFA Cup Lydney Town 3 Bitton 2 Gibbs 2, L.Halford 71

15-Oct-16 D Prem Lydney Town 0 Binfield 0 77 For a brief period, starting in 1986, before Eddy Shah thought about building golf courses in Wootton Bassett he 19-Oct-16 L Prem Highworth Town 4 Lydney Town 0 71 deemed it a good idea to include Roy of the Rovers in his newly launched Today newspaper to help sales. These were all-new strips, focusing largely on the relationship between Roy and his wife Penny, rather than the action on the pitch. 22-Oct-16 L FA Vase Canterbury City 3 Lydney Town 1 Morley-Lyne Following the closure of the weekly title in 1993, Roy appeared in a re-launched monthly publication in September that 29-Oct-16 W Bluefin Cup Chalfont Wasps 1 Lydney Town 2 Addis, Fox 49 year, with grittier storylines intended to attract teen and young adult fans who had read the weekly comic in their youth. 1-Nov-16 W Floodlit Cup Cirencester Town Dev 2 Lydney Town 3 Addis, N.Halford, Morley-Lyne 48 In the monthly comic focus switched to Roy's son, Rocky, who also played for Melchester. Between January 1994 and 5-Nov-16 D Prem Lydney Town 1 Ardley United 1 Morley-Lyne 87 January 1995, the monthly strips were mirrored by a weekly edition in Shoot magazine. 12-Nov-16 L Prem Thame United 5 Lydney Town 1 N.Halford 64 15-Nov-16 W Prem Lydney Town 3 Longlevens 1 Morley-Lyne, N.Halford, Maxted 57 The comic strip was resurrected in July 1997, printed as short features in the BBC's monthly Match of the Day 26-Nov-16 W Bluefin Cup Lydney Town 4 Easington Sports 0 N.Halford, Morgan, Pendrey, Morley-Lyne 47 magazine. Father and son Race were reunited as manager and player respectively at Melchester. These strips ran until 6-Dec-16 W GFA Cup Lydney Town 3 Cribbs 1 Not known 47 the magazine's demise in May 2001. By then the strip's wholesome tone, often espousing the virtues of fair play and strong moral character, was beginning to seem old-fashioned as the Premier League became more cosmopolitan and 10-Dec-16 D Prem Lydney Town 2 Flackwell Heath 2 Not known 47 out of touch with the lives of the ordinary supporter. Goalscorers Goals Strike-Rate In the comics glory years, to keep the stories exciting, Melchester was almost every season either competing for major Declan Morley-Lyne 14 58.3% honours or struggling against relegation to a lower division. The strip followed the structure of the football season, thus Niall Halford 7 38.9% there were several months each year when there was no football. By far the most common summer storyline saw Lewis Halford 6 33.3% Melchester touring a fictional country in an exotic part of the world, often South America, where they would invariably be Patrick Gibbs 5 29.4% kidnapped and held to ransom. Kerry Hale 3 12.5%

Interesting to note that in the Premier League, the average Golden Boot winner scores 24 Jamie Addis 2 14.3% goals in 35 games, a strike rate of 0.69. In total, the prolific Roy Race bagged 533 goals in Ryan Pendrey 2 12.5% 565 games for club and country, an astonishing strike rate of 0.94. For Wootton Bassett only Thomas Maxted 2 11.1% Steve Robertson comes close. With sex-scandals and extra-marital affairs being as much a James Morse 2 10.5% part of modern footballers lives players these days would do well to follow the example set by Mason Lewis 2 8.3% Roy who married his childhood sweetheart Penny Laine at the end of the 1976 season. They Liam Sheppard 2 8.0% had three kids together before breaking up in the early Eighties. In that time though, Roy Jacob Morgan 1 33.3% remained faithful to Penny. Liam Fox 1 25.0%

In 1981, Roy was shot by out-of-work actor Elton Blake and left in a coma. With Alf Ramsey Peter Macklin 1 9.1% in temporary charge of Melchester Rovers, hospital staff decided to play him commentary of Richard Thomas 1 4.3% their game with Keysborough. Miraculously, the commentary helped Roy come out of his coma and when that news was relayed to his team-mates, they were so overjoyed they went on the break the league goal-scoring record by winning 14-0.

These days, modern players moan about a lack of protection from the referees but they never suffered from the hardship poor old Roy Race did. In his career, he was kidnapped at least half-a-dozen times, shot, bombed and saw his home ground destroyed by an earthquake. Despite all this tragedy, Roy still picked up 10 league titles, 9 FA Cups and three European Cups. In the end his highly successful career was brought to an end by off the field tragedy. In his 50’s he was still going strong but on a scouting mission in 1993 he lost control of his own helicopter and lost his iconic left foot as a result of the crash

With the likes of Wayne Rooney unhappy at being played out of position at Manchester United, he would do well to follow Roy’s lead and do whatever his manager asks him to do. To this day, Roy Race is still the only player to score a hat-trick in a cup final and go in goal and save a penalty in the last minute! The stock media phrase "real 'Roy of the Rovers' stuff" is often used by football writers, commentators and fans when describing displays of great skill, or results that go against the odds, in reference to the dramatic storylines that were Roy of the Rovers trademark.

Old fans maybe interested to know that old comics and annuals can still be bought on e-bay and Roy of the Rovers lives on with his own Facebook and Twitter pages! Previous Meetings & Stats Supplementary Cup Season 2016-17

Mind the Guppy!

Congratulations to Andy Guppy, who was crowned as the 2015-16 RWBTFC Fantasy Football League champion for a second season in a row this week! In retaining his fantasy crown, Guppy avoided the fate of reigning champions of the actual Premier League, Chelsea, whose title defence quickly descended into a mediocre scrap for a mid-table position. That's not to say that it was a walk in the park for the Royal Wootton Bassett Town Reserve team player though.

As with last season, Guppy's winning margin was a slim one. Totaling 2,240 points, he finished just sixteen ahead of Reserves stablemate Ben Brown and 2013-14 winner Michael Case. Furthermore, with seventeen weeks of the season to go, Guppy stood a whopping 100 points behind long-time league leader Scott Large. However, Large's advantage - like the bubbles in the anthem of his beloved West Ham United - faded and died, and with eight weeks remaining he had slipped to fourth place. Guppy by now was in front, albeit by a slim margin. Yet, showing the same mentality as the real Premier League winners Leicester City, he ground out solid point totals the rest of the way. There was a brief moment after the 33rd gameweek when Brown pulled level on 1,906 points, while his lead stood at a mere five ahead of the penultimate round. Nevertheless, canny selections meant Guppy withstood the pressure of those breathing down his neck to once again etch his name on the Fantasy RWBTFC FantasyLeague Football trophy. League Previous Meetings He now joins Sam Lawro, who finished in fifth place, as a two-time winner.

Match Reports

League roll continues New Gerard Buxton Ground, 10th December 2016 Royal Wootton Bassett Town enjoyed a rather comfortable afternoon as they recorded their fourth straight league victory with a stylish 4-0 triumph against Henley Town. Rich Hunter's team's attacking football was as slick as the damp Gerard Buxton Sports Ground pitch and, after going into half time with a slender advantage despite controlling proceedings, they swept aside their Oxfordshire opponents in the second period. Sam Packer, playing the majority of the game in his favoured number ten role, was in particularly devilish form. More or less unplayable, Henley had no answer to the Bassett playmaker, who must have had a role in close to a dozen of the chances the hosts created. He played a key role in the game's opener on nineteen minutes, perfectly weighting a return pass to set free right winger Dan Bailey, who cut the ball back from the by-line for Steve Robertson to provide an emphatic finish into the top right corner. That goal had followed a somewhat nervous start, punctuated by a third minute opportunity which fell to Henley's Chris Hood after a poor touch from Steve Yeardley inside his own penalty area. However, Hood's snap shot was fortunately turned around the post by a fast reacting Curtis Meare. Once they were ahead though, Bassett were in control. Packer came close to doubling the lead moments after Robertson had struck, hammering a 20-yard shot from the right edge of the area narrowly past the opposite post. Adam Corcoran's far post header from Dale Richards' corner then appeared to be destined for the back of the net, yet was deflected wide. On 33 minutes, Packer, aided by a slip from his marker Mitch Cooper, raced onto Corcoran's clipped ball over the top and found himself with only 'keeper Matthew Hill to beat. Opting to attempt a lob from just outside the area, rather than advance on goal, he again was a matter of inches away from taking his tally of goals for the season to four. Not that he let the frustration of failing to register a goal affect his performance. He continued to be at heart of Bassett's forays forward. His cut back and Robertson's deft touch on the edge of the area set Bailey in with seven minutes to go until the break, but no goal was forthcoming as Hill raced off his line to take the ball away from Bailey's feet. Packer's through ball then set an overlapping Bailey in on goal. Again the winger was thwarted by Hill though as the 'keeper parried his low effort from a tight angle across the face of goal. Bassett's half time lead should really have been more. But they quickly established a more comfortable advantage after half time. Yeardley played a brilliant pass to Packer in the right corner, and his cross into the danger area just evaded Robertson. The Bassett forward was “Bassett Pies” quickly able to jump on the loose ball, steering in cross from the left edge, which Dale Delicious pies, made using fresh, local ingredients Richard guided home with a header from ten yards. Chances kept coming Bassett's way. After racing onto a Robertson's through ball, Packer unselfishly sought to play a square pass back when in on goal, but the forward could only snatch at his effort affording Hill a relatively comfortable save. Richards soon nearly had a second when his stooping header from Bailey's corner wasn't gathered clearly by the Henley stopper. However, Hill was able to dive on the ball just as it appeared set to roll over the line. The game was eventually killed off with twenty minutes remaining. Substitute Kias Bonner-Shaw cut inside from the right and saw a shot from a tight angle blocked. The rebound fell to Robertson who was never going to miss. It was quickly four as Ryan Withers, another substitute who injected dangerous pace, raced clear before coolly picking out the bottom corner when one-on-one. Moving the ball around at will, Bassett were in full control. And come full time it could well have been six or seven.

Kiosk Indeed, Robertson should probably have at least completed his hat-trick. He saw a close- range strike from Bonner-Shaw's cutback swatted away before then failing to get a toe on the end of the same player's low fizzing cross. Finally, with two minutes remaining he put a shot from an angle across the face of goal after latching onto Packer's superb defence splitting Steak & Ale – Chicken & Mushroom – Spicy Turkey pass which had been played with the outside of his right boot. Man of the Match: Sam Packer – Henley had no answers for the playmaker, as he Sold at Kiosk during Match Days – Access via Stadium Pitch constantly found a way in behind their backline. It was probably a welcome relief for the visitors when Packer dropped into a deeper role late in the game. Buildbase F.A. Vase Half Time Quiz - Name That Tune

“But we showed a lot of grit and determination and we certainly dug our heels in. At 30

“They pushed and pushed us and they are a good side, they’ve been top most of the season 20 and that’s not through luck, so overall I’m really pleased.” 10 After a strong start by Wroughton it was Cricklade who took the lead as Dave Coleman notched from the penalty spot in the only goal of the first half. 0 06-07 07-08 08-09 09-10 10-11 11-12 12-13 13-14 14-15 15-16 16-17 However it was Wroughton who came out strongest in the second half as Hibbert restored Season parity from a tight angle with the goalkeeper in no mans land. (Average Attendances)

Hibbert then scored with a looping header before slotting home calmly after being played through on goal as he took his season tally to eight from four matches.

There was time for Cricklade to pull a goal back after an own goal from a corner but they were reduced to ten men in the dying moments to kill off the momentum they had, eventually WBTFC Attendances - Season 2016-17 (and comp arison to 2015-16) losing out 3-2.
