For those not attending, you can listen in on RadOx.

I didn't expect coverage, but there you go.

 

[MJB]

Must. Win.

 

[Up The Manor]

I recommend Redan road for parking. Walk through wooded area straight to away entrance .

COYY .

 

[Peterdev]

There’s a lot of parking around the area. Been there lots as local to the area

 

[Steve Gilbert]

Can't wait to see how the new signings get on.

Thanks for the tip. First visit to this ground for me - just wanted to break the monotony of the off-season by watching some proper football now the internationals are over. My weekends feel a bit rudderless when the domestic season isn’t going on!

Any recommendations on decent pubs?

That’s a very good question.
Aldershot is not great for pubs, however, if you venture to Yateley where I live there are a few nice ones. The White Lion, Dog and Partridge, Royal Oak, Cricketers and the Ely. If you’re coming via Reading I’d avoid Eversley and their expensive pubs.
Most of the pubs in Farnborough are good too.
All of those pubs mentioned should be able to serve food on the day

3 points please.

And any trialists!

 

[Royalstandard74]

Aldershot should give us the gate reciept money, because we are letting them play us!

Used to be our closest away game, living in Liphook made it an easy trip. Bit further to go these days!

 

[Oxford84]

What will be good to see is the formation and style of play Ramsey uses, i presume it will be a possession style football but hope its very attacking too.

 

[Steve Gilbert]

What are the chances of a stream being available on FAWAnews?!

Interesting that there's no mention of Scott Davies being a (very popular) former player

 

[ScottishYellow]

Ramsey out

 

[JoeUFC]

My overriding memory of this ground is being there just after Marvin Morgan had posted on Twitter "I hope you all die” after being booed off for them the previous week.

Simpler times.

 

[oxfordkits]

Looks like we'll be in our new Yellow kit - as Aldershot will be playing in a 'champagne' off-white away kit - meaning the 'floral' kit can't be worn.

Also no mention of players like Danny Hylton and James Henry who have played for both and were very popular here. Very odd.

I can’t find any away ticket details for tonight, so assume it’s just pay on the gate, right?

 

[The Voice Of Reason]

I think the more interesting point today is who may not be playing or there?

I'm disappointed to read of the demise of the La Fontaine pub in Adershot, a regular pre-match venue during the League 2 days. It has a birds's eye view of the ground and a friendly cat. My parking space along the road could always be found because nobody swept up the broken glass in the gutter for years.

Aldershot Town ticket office 0152 320211. Give them a ring

Digit missed on the dialling code, it should be 01252 320211.

 

[Bath Yellow]

Sorry

 

[Bread]

Cheers both, I hadn’t spotted the small text indicating the away end on their ticketing site. £10 for one adult and two kids!

A great little pub and always welcomed away fans. I remember a small group of our younger fans at the time singing 'Alltheshit' in their and got told to shut up very quickly by our own fans.

Indeed....- it may also indicate absentees at this first PSF under Ramsey, are not,, as yet, up to the required level of ( pre season) fitness, or for that matter are carrying a knock, pull or tweak?

sad to hear that - agree La Fontaine was a decent away pub

I'll be at the game tonight and I'm keen to get the views of fans on the current situation. If you fancy appearing in our show and you see me, come say hi.

In the meantime, kindly take a look out our latest show, published just before the embargo etc became public.
