Why: Hellenic League, Premier Division
When: Saturday, 12th September 2026
Where: Gerard Buxton Sports Ground, Brinkworth Road, Royal Wootton Bassett, Wiltshire SN4 8DS
Following the rapturous response to the poem in last week’s preview of the Corsham game, today’s preview is also presented in Japanese verse:
Royal Wootton Bassett Town,
Will the Saltmen leave there with a frown,
Reckon fans should all go down.
…
Whoever goes won’t be blue,
The clubhouse bar has very short queues,
And the finest football loos.
…
Clean facilities, you can go,
Large enough for a ballroom tango,
Urinals smell like mango.
…
Recently we’ve been forlorn,
Both sides have struggled to hit top form,
Hope it will be dry and warm.
…
There’s no need to be gloomy,
Not being coached by that Wayne Rooney,
Not been bought by George Clooney.
…
This Haiku’s begun to stink,
I’ll go and get myself a cold drink,
Next week have another think!
…
See you there.
Cheers
FTS
