SCB 15 Posted March 18, 2012 I appreciate that, but it has nothing do whether Gathercole rides at Plymouth, Ipswich, or neither. I'm with you, it made no sense to me either but it was the point that Devildodger was trying to make. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

keef 105 Posted March 18, 2012 The Fish had a creditable night tonight at Blunsdon, with 9 points. Always liked him for Swindon, a real trier. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roger MARTIN 128 Posted March 19, 2012 I type this rather slowly in the hope the message gets through.....a little ambitious I know, but I'll give it a go!! Â The most recent posts on this thread relate to Cory Gathercole. Now as I understand it, Cory lives in Swindon with his girlfriend. It has been mentioned that he might be a target for both Plymouth and Ipswich. My point was that if travelling was an issue for Cory, Swindon would be virtually equidistant between the two. Â Simples!!!!! Â I get your point and you are looking at the bigger picture, Cory to Ipswich or Plymouth would make no difference to the lad, the point i was making and i did not know that Ipswich were interested in the lad, was coming to Plymouth the journey would be much better for him than Lanham's would be, so sorry if i misunderstood your post but i get what you are getting at for Cory to go to Plymouth or Ipswich would not make much difference journey wise.

westlakejawa 23 Posted March 19, 2012 DEVILDODGER Swindon to Plymouth 142 miles at 70 mph on a Friday -you want to try it. May onward's more like 4 hour's, and with the Almondsbury/M5/M4 bucket and spade work taking place for the next 2 years could well be a further hour . Many Moons ago , i think Colin Cook use to do Ipswich -Exeter for Two or Three season without the motorway network which now exist. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Â Just printed what was said on the road map, your right you can add an hour to that journey but i was using it has an example, from May onwards is a nightmare on any motorway, i have been up that way a few times, it's no walk in the park that's for sure.
