CHIPPENHAM Town forward Luke Gullick says he has no intention of leaving Hardenhuish Park following the Southern League play-off defeat, and has urged his team-mates to stay at the club.
The Bluebirds faltered against Halesowen Town on Thursday and some supporters fear starlets could leave to further their ambitions in football.
But Gullick, who has supported Chippenham for a decade, says he sees himself as a Bluebird for life and wants others to stay on as well.

When asked if he would leave in the wake of the failed promotion bid, Gullick said: "No chance, I'm enjoying everything. We've got a great team and I couldn't ask for any better manager, assistant manager, coaching staff or fans.
"I'm happy with everything. It's my home town club and I can't see myself playing for anyone else.
"I want to help Chippenham get promoted and I'm hoping we can all stay together, but if players want to further their careers you can't stop them.
"It would be disappointing if a few of the players leave. As far as I know everyone that played this season is turning up for pre-season.
"If we stay together we might even finish top. I want the best for Chippenham and it would be nice to go up another league."
Gullick has revealed hs inner torment following the play-off defeat, saying he blames himself for the Halesowen equaliser.
Gullick said: "For their equaliser I felt it was my fault. The ball was played into my feet and I let the man get in front of me and the ball was played forward.
"The last couple of days I've been thinking if I had stopped the defender getting the ball we could have been in the final.
"I was gutted. I felt I could have done more and I don't feel I contributed as much as I wanted."
