Evostik give today's attendance as 291, though by the end of the game, the crowd had thinned considerably with just a handful of the diehards left in the Town End which we were attacking. (Sorry, attacking is too strong a word, I should have said playing towards). 

Stupidly we thought it couldn't get any worse than last week. OH HOW SO WRONG. I've seen more organisation in a kids team. We looked like 11 individuals out there none of whom had a clue what any of the others we doing. You can't blame a manager if a player can't pass to a team mate but the tactics and team selection is the managers responsibiity and today tactics were none existent. I don't know why the Bideford goalkeeper didn't join the fun his team mates were having and play as an outfield player and keep the goal empty as his goalkeeping skills weren't needed today.
Can't understand Harris today as he has been one of our best players since signing but today it seemed from the off as if he was determined to get sent off.
I'll be there on Tuesday and will be right behind the team providing they give you something to support. You will get right behind them if you can see everyone is giving it their alleven if things aren't working out but another performance like today and I'll wait till 4 down and then I will be off and seriously think about turning up for the next game.
Been supporting Chippenham for 13 years now and this is the lowest and the worst to date and unfortunately it's difficult to see where any improvement will come. Hope Tuesday gives us something to cheer about.

Having had a few hours and a couple of beers to get over yesterday still can't believe how bad, inept, embarrassing and humiliating that was. If we thought the week before was bad (which it was) what was yesterday????

If Rudge stays in charge I fear for our chances of staying in the league, we're only 8 points off the drop and with us playing the way we are can't see us picking up many more points. Of course it'll be the fans fault for being too negative and that being passed onto the players, yeah, right.

Would like to think Rudge is writing his resignation letter or is being asked for but if we've a board that gives an untested manager a two year contract I doubt it. When Mingsy left I was hoping that we'd have a fresh appointment to go with the new investment, someone with no history with the club, someone who'd come in, look at the club with fresh eyes and clear out the dead wood, sadly we got Rudgey on Mingsy's recommendation, thanks for that.

The players are lacking in confidence, organisation, ability and despite having played in the team Rudgey hasn't addressed the team's problems. With the exception of Ballinger we must have the slowest team in the league, look at the back four yesterday, faced with a bit of movement and pace (wasn't Bideford's no 4 outstanding) they were ripped to pieces.

I'll be there Tuesday to support the team but fear I could be watching a car crash as if Bideford can put 7 on us how many could Hemel....

See one of the Webbs has been gobbing off. Is she still in charge because she clearly pulls the strings. Makes me sick to the bone no wonder they are struggling for sponsors with the Webbs thinking they are some sort of chippenham mafia

well done cooky you have just confirmed why so many people are staying away.
