Sad news, like one or two on here, Aldershot Town are my second team as I'm from round there originally. I go to see them once a year, this season for the victory over Oxford United. They have a small but very dedicated group of supporters. Tis a sad day as I fear they may go under again. That said, the finding of the holy grail was not as good as the searching last time round.

That sounds ominous. When we were at rock bottom we at least had a decent number of supporters who were able to provide the catalyst for our future success.

Blimey, pretty tough on their fans if they are going to have to rise from the Ashes again. Feel for them.

It would appear that they have risen from the Ashes too quickly and perhaps should have got their house in order first before re entering the FL. Could this be a warning to Portsmouth, not that they will take any notice because they also are too smug to accept advice.

Didn't Halifax do similar and the conference didn't allow them to join so they dropped to step 3?

Boston went into administration on the last day of the season in 2007 having already been confirmed as relegated. Conference decided they couldn't join BSP so they had to start the following season in BSN.

You're right, Trig - it was a rhetorical question, really. You'd have hoped that the experience of the club would have taught them a bit more prudence. As I've said on here before, to forget the mistakes of history is to be doomed to repeat them.

Talking to a work colleague who is a Pompey fan your right they will not take any notice, seems like they will be splashing big money for L2 standards to get auto promotion back to L1. Should be more like the scottish ideal in these situations when only free transfers are allowed

Pompey are a BIG club , they want to be back in the Premier League within 10 years.

Could be one of the clubs to blindly ignore FFP rules and then moan about it when they face embargoes in the future.

Is this the team that has an inordinate number of minutes wasted on them on Final Score on RADIO SUSSEX on Saturdays?

I could never figure what part of Sussex they were in?

ATFC are also a team very close to my heart. My dad has been a season ticket holder there for nearly 40 years. What I can gather is that its always been a battle for the club since they went full time but it was a battle they were winning. They also had a great chairman who sadly passed away in 2009 and it seems to have all fallen apart since then.

This is a radio interview recorded on Thursday with a man called Terry Owens who was the first chairman and owned one of the two shares issued when the club was first reformed back in 1992. He resigned in 1999 but has remained close to the club ever since.

It's only a couple of minutes long but I challenge any football supporter to not have a lump in the throat by the end of it. A very sad situation indeed.

The football radio coverage is for Radio Sussex & Surrey although Aldershot is in Hampshire which is just like Meridian covering Reading and Oxford
