The Cinderford goal was given as an o.g. by our keeper Tom Parker-Trott - from a corner

And for those of you who didnt buy the 54 page programme yesterday [and if not - why not] then here is the Chuckle Corner section that was in it:-

Cinderford is a town and civil parish on the eastern fringe of the Forest of Dean in Gloucestershire. The estimated population in 2020 was 11,399

The town came into existence in the 19th century, following the rapid expansion of Cinderford Ironworks and the Forest of Dean Coalfield. Cinderford's origins can be seen in the style and layout of the town, with long rows of identical terraced housing similar to those found in the mining villages of the South Wales Valleys. The decline of the coal industry in the 1950s and 1960s affected Cinderford as most of the male population was employed in mining.
The name Cinderford, used for a crossing point over Cinderford Brook, is recorded as early as 1258. The name reflects the site of early ironmaking which created deposits of cinders (clinker), sometimes in large mounds.
The distance between the Causeway Stadium, Cirencester and New Cuthbury is 102 miles [via A36] and should take approx 2hr 45 mins

I refuse to work in a coal mine. It's beneath me

The 7 dwarves were working in the jam butty mines when there was a roof collapse. When Snow White heard about it she rushed to the mine. She peered down the mine shaft and shouted "Is anybody there ?' A voice floated up from the deep saying 'Wimborne Town will win the FA Cup.' 'Thank goodness for that' said Snow White ' at least Dopey is alive'

If you need a loan then borrow money from a pessimist -- they don't expect it back.

i went to the off license on my bike and bought a bottle of vodka and put it in the basket on the front...then it occoured to me that if i fall or something happens then the bottle might break. So i drank it all right there; and its a good thing i did cos going round the roundabout on the way home I fell off 7 times.

A White Horse walks into a bar and asks for a whiskey. The barman says " I suppose you want the whiskey named after you "
The horse says "What, Eric"

My mate said to me , he said, I bet you can't name a famous Egyptian landmark, I said thats what you Sphinx

So I was working at Burger King and Andrew Lloyd Webber walked in. He said give me two whoppers. I said you're good looking and your musicals are great

Pete and Harry were talking one day. "My wife asked me to buy ORGANIC vegetables from the market garden," said Pete "So were you able to find some?" Harry asked. "Well when I got to the market, I asked the farmer, 'These vegetables are for my wife. Have they been sprayed with any poisonous chemicals?'""The gardener answered: 'No, you'll have to do that yourself.'"

An Italian chap went into a phone shop and asked them for a Statue. The salesman said "sorry sir, we dont sell statue's, try the Antiques shop next door." But the Italian insisted he was in the right shop. "What exactly do you mean" said the salesman. "You must have a statue" said the Italian. "You know, one of those things that rings, and when you pick it you say - Hey Statue"

Quasi Modo was in the bell tower of Notre Dame Cathedral . Suddenly the huge bells started ringing unexpectedly. This startled Quasi Modo and he ran around trying to dodge the swinging bells. Unfortunately one of them hit him on his head and he was knocked down to the Cathedral floor below. As he lay unconscious a paramedic said to the Bishop. "Do you know this man ?" The Bishop said " No - but his face rings a bell"

My local florist isn’t into butter. She's not interflora either.

If we got rid of all the margarine and spreads, the world would be a butter place.

I was in the supermarket and a bloke threw some butter and milk at me recently. I thought “how dairy”…. Then, they threw some mild cheese. I thought “that’s not very mature”.

Surprisingly Poole's attendance was only 361. Another surprise is that although Tony Lee has been suspended by Poole Town nevetheless he has been loaned out to Farnborough ! What is more he scored the Farnborough goal in their 1 - 1 draw against Dulwich in their first venture into NLS.

Fantastic start to the season! From the moment we made it 1-1 it never looked like they'd trouble us, and they didn't.
My own concern would be us defending set-pieces and teams targeting us on those. Look at that bench....it's incredible the strength and depth that we have!!
It's a real shame that Wednesday isn't a home game, but i think if we can get away with a point then 4 from the first two games would be an excellent start!
