Severn Bridge

But yeah, it was an anxiety dream.

And I dropped my phone as we crossed the Severn Bridge.

Yeah.

And then I just fell apart in my ideas.

still playing for top spot but are through Mansfield are out so it's an interesting dynamic but yeah with this kind of you know couple of cup games coming up it's going to be interesting to see how Chesterfield choose to manage that in one sense I think maybe it will be a good thing to you know maybe have a bit of pressure off the league for a little bit and some time to think and properly regroup but I'm sure a lot of those players out there would like another game very very soon to try and go and put that first half right because they won't be happy at all without that as unfolded Yeah, as you say,

it is just to confirm that it is cup games in the next two, Yeovil on Saturday and then the Tuesday after that Mansfield, 7 o'clock kick-off by the way that one is, and then the next league action is just across the Severn Bridge from here, Bristol Rovers away on the 14th of November before Shrewsbury Town visit Chesterfield on the 21st, and then it's another visit to this neck of the woods, Swindon, the week after that, so Bristol Rovers away, Shrewsbury at home, Swindon away the next three league games after those, Chesterfield, Yeovil, Mansfield, Chesterfield, knockout games, and it is all knockout, there's Gary Robertson, Paddy Byrne having a chat on the park at the moment, keeping well clear of the players, I'm not quite sure physically where Paul Cook will be, I've picked up a red card, whether it's two yellows or a yellow and a red, we're not sure, at half-time.

But, Ben, you know, very, very difficult to know where Chesterfield go from here because there were a lot of changes made last week that were positive.

Very much a similar sort of side today and the polar opposite of what we saw.

For the next two weeks, there were no official sightings.

It wasn't until February seventeenth that his car was discovered abandoned at the Aust Services, the service station next to the Severn Bridge.

The Severn Bridge is a majestic but grim landmark connecting England and Wales, known tragically as a site for those looking to depart.

Now, the location of the car led to the immediate and prevailing theory Richey had jumped from the bridge.

The Severn Estuary is one of the highest tidal ranges in the world.

Now, Ritchie Edwards remains the ultimate ghost of British rock.

His disappearance didn't just end a career, it froze him in time as a symbol of artistic purity and unresolved pain.

Every year, on February 1, fans gather at the Severn Bridge or share his lyrics online, not just as a tribute to a musician, but as a way to keep the search alive.

Exactly.

And is it true that it was a bit windy that day and you got together at the services just before Severn Bridge and had to draw lots to see who would be the poor sod who had to drive the Robin over the Severn Bridge on the windy day?

Yeah, it was Gavin Green.

He lost the...

Edwards disappeared between the days of February 1st and 14th of 1995.

His Vauxhall car was found near Severn Bridge, parked and looked as though it had been there for a few days.

The spot is infamous for jumpers, and while it was said that Edwards was severely depressed, he seemed to be coping by drinking and reportedly had a prescription for Prozac.

His family was reluctant to declare him deceased rather than missing.

I don't know about any of that, but the only reason I mention that is that's about the only thing I can think of that is a big difference contextually between, um, England and Wales.

Um, that, that point about, um, you know, what's different about a child in Newport w- in Wales and a child in Bristol just over the, um, the Severn Bridge, uh, they're not radically different.

These are not, um, hugely different contexts.

Wales does have, um, quite high levels of, uh, social deprivation, but so do many parts of England.
