Memorable day today . A proud English man tonight still supping and bumped into a true Aldershot legend tonight . Our most appearenced player who moved to NZ stood next to me in the pub . We were so close knit then we knew each other immediately.
Thank you my dream trip 2 grounds all grass bank ,I love simple grounds . Came out via Ho chi minh 3 days ,back via Kuala lumpa for 3 days . Just can't believe I've done it . This Is my carte blanche.
Excellent days play here ,wonderful innings by Blundell . Good last hour by us . Lovely weather all day ,but some very mouthy drunk kiwis plus the kitted out Aussie. A few Brighton in the house and 3 shots fans . Loving it atm .
How has the gone all day? The clouds gathered around 4.45 . We were surrounded thunder and lightning all around and no rain . Great days cricket for £9.70 ,shame the beer is so expensive. This won't go 4 days .
Aldershot 2 Dorking 0 ,respite in a relegation battle . Somehow in 12 th and 4 points off play offs . No game for 5 weeks now as a trip awy beckons for 4 weeks.
Bromley 2 Aldershot 2 att 2700 258 away . Awful train journey ,delays etc etc . Tidy ground still ,local yoof launching bottles and coins at the away end as stewards and OB stood idle . Splendid trip home 4 micropubs between Clock House and Penge East
We Aldershot sang Tequila at Roker Park in October 1987 for the first time . It had just been in the charts . Not claiming to be the first,but that's when we started.
Bristol City fans were always bullies back in the day .
Reading for obvious reasons .
Leighton Town [though they were Luton ] a mate got attacked with a machete there in 93 for a Ryman Div 3 game . TBF we all got ambushed and gassed by there mob .
Sunday 1st January Spennymoor 2 Blyth Spartans 1 . Att 1587 111 Away . 2nd visit . £15 entry fee ,decent ground cover on 3 sides . Pork pie ,Chips and Gravy£6 other food avaliable. Visited the Little Tap Room , Durham Brewery Dark Angel£3 a pint . Well worth a visit if your're in the Spenny area.
