Jenny ClaffeyHOST
Her parents were called Steve and Pat, and she had an older sister called Dominique, who was 27 at the time Melanie disappeared.
Jenny ClaffeyHOST
Her mother, Pat, was a nurse, while her father, Steve, worked as a builder and had also been chairman of Bath City Football Club.
Jenny ClaffeyHOST
Melanie was close to her family, who described her as affectionate, vibrant, and trusting, and someone who tended to see the good in people, and was known for her very gentle nature.
Jenny ClaffeyHOST
In 1995, the year before she disappeared, Melanie graduated from the University of Bath, where she had studied sociology and psychology.
Darren ReesHOST
Igor Tiago, correct.
Darren ReesHOST
Clue number one, I spent part of my early career on league at non-league Bath City.
Darren ReesHOST
Clue number two, another loan took me to Newport County.
Darren ReesHOST
Clue number three, I also had a loan spell at Sunderland before becoming a Premier League player.
Steve RutterGUEST
Um, and then I went up to watch them at Slough in midweek, in a cup game I think it was, and I signed in the tunnel at half time.
Steve RutterGUEST
A- and, and so I came down the following week for the first game, was at home against Bath City in the Somerset Senior Cup.
Steve RutterGUEST
I traveled all the way down from Northampton.
Steve RutterGUEST
Hallie put me on the bench, never put me on.
29 MINS LATER
Steve RutterGUEST
Um, but you know, you, you...
Steve RutterGUEST
I can remember in, in pre-season trying to sign players and not being able to get anywhere near the money they were being offered at other places.
Steve RutterGUEST
Um, you know, we couldn't even compete with like a Bath City or a Falmouth.
Steve RutterGUEST
Um, and you start thinking to yourself, hang on a minute, we're, you know, we're a National League team here and we're, we're struggling to match salaries for clubs that aren't in the same league as us in terms of status and stature.
Chris LammingHOST
So yeah, has had permanent spells at a very short one at Grimsby Town, one in Larne in Northern Ireland and at Cheltenham and of course at Lincoln City.
Chris LammingHOST
In addition to loan spells at Bath City, Stratford Town, Dulwich Hamlet, Mansfield, Truro, Peterborough Sports, Telford, Oxford City and Kidderminster.
Gary HutchinsonHOST
Yes, so a very well-travelled goalkeeper, and one would expect if he is to see any first-team football whatsoever, it would be by making another journey somewhere, and that is likely to be another one of those, and I did like that very much, Greek economy loans, because he's very much a backup development goalkeeper.
Gary HutchinsonHOST
He obviously won the Dr Chris Batty Award for, I can't remember exactly what it was now, but it was for basically Clubman of the Year, wasn't it? Or some hero.
Colin ShindlerHOST
The crowd loved him.
Colin ShindlerHOST
When Allison came back, he was, despite whatever it was that Swales might have said to Tony Book, there was no question that Allison, who had brought Book from Bath City in whenever it was, in 1965, '66, there was no question of him playing number two to his old right back.
Jon HolmesHOST
Yeah.
Colin ShindlerHOST
He was going to run the club, and he ran it almost immediately into the ground by selling all the very good players that Book had assembled, and buying at some ludicrously inflated price, a series of either unproven or not very good players.
J-BoHOST
We love... love you and thank you for this incredible journey of these great songs and you're continuing it with your book uh our best to kurt are you going to talk to kurt soon what's what's going on with kurt these days
Roland OrzabalGUEST

J-BoHOST
a place you could take your daughter when she gets a little older to the footy amazing oh my god Roland, it's an honor to speak to you.
J-BoHOST
Thank you for coming to Music Drives Us.
Kevin DayHOST
Even though I remember back in the day when my dear old psychic Uncle Bill used to take me to see Wimbledon, this club was considered one of the big, big non-league clubs.
Kevin DayHOST
It's Bath City.
Kevin DayHOST
And they've been taken over, I believe.
Kieran MaguireHOST
That's right.
Kevin DayHOST
But it's a strange one because the Bristol clubs, historically, and it's hard to put a finger on why, but the Bristol clubs...
Kevin DayHOST
in a huge city, the big catchment area, have struggled for success on the pitch.
Kevin DayHOST
So you can't imagine that they're thinking to turn Bath City into another West Country powerhouse being so close to Bristol.
Kevin DayHOST
So that's where the worry comes that you start to think, are their motives less than honourable football-wise?
Giles GofordGUEST
But no, Twerton Park, I mean, you know, a non-league ground, it was.
Giles GofordGUEST
Bath City were playing there at the time.
Giles GofordGUEST
Again, the signage, it was welcome to Bath City, it was welcome to Bristol Rovers.
Giles GofordGUEST
You know, you absolutely had that.
Giles GofordGUEST
ramshackle but beautiful in its own way houses literally overlooking the pitch so many people could just look out their bedroom windows and watch for free i i used to go on my own um because no one wanted to come with me yeah just and and and on our you know on our trip even back in the 80s it was you know bristol rovers were still playing there never went to eastville which i would have loved to have really quirky ground by all accounts again they had the speedway east eastville so they had a big area between the pitch and the and the um But yeah, Twerton Park, Sparth, I presume, still play at Twerton Park, don't they? Did you play at Twerton Park, Matt?
James PearcePANELIST
My first journalism job was covering non-league football.
James PearcePANELIST
That was Bath City.
James PearcePANELIST
Following them home and away.
James PearcePANELIST
Yeah, I absolutely love it.
James PearcePANELIST
And do you know what? Non-league football is absolutely blossoming as well because, of course, one of the knock-on effects of so many people being priced out of the Premier League is the fact that people are going to watch increasingly non-league football and where it's so different, isn't it? The players go in the bar for a pint afterwards and it's...
James PearcePANELIST
costs costs very little to get in and you you can you know feel that feel that affinity and the crowds are brilliant I know my dad still goes every week to watch Bath City and they're in like the seventh tier getting over a thousand to every every home game so yeah I'll be getting myself down south Liverpool love a bit of non-league
Tony EvansHOST
Simon who if he could ever be bothered to turn up You know.
James PearcePANELIST
He's got Las Vegas FC.
Tim HubbleSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
As I've said before, it's silverware and it's well worth having a nice evening at the end of the season.
Tim HubbleSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
The time we won it, we beat Bath City 3-0 and there was a nice buzz about the place.
Tim HubbleSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Because it's always good to beat a local rival.
Tim HubbleSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
