Hmmm do the whole day I think.

I may well join you

Dave is thinking of getting the train down from London instead of driving for this very reason.

I'd stay out, Madge has probably got someone in until 10:30

[Stu M]

He's usually there regardless!

[David Holden]

Not young Lionel I presume.

Louis Affor usually... sometimes Ronnie Pountney.

Two legends in one swoop: the 1st probably the shortest Fleet player of all time? Even more vertically challenged than Gary Groom? The 2nd made that wonderful run down the left at Kettering & crossed for Gary Julians to dive in & score the last time we actually did something to be proud of in the FA Trophy. Still drunk at work the next day, despite the Kettering officials trying to make us leave early because some local idiots ran on the pitch & threw a couple of haymakers at our players.

Probably find the pubs will be shut, hence the reason the game has been moved to 12... Keep them 'shot "fans" from smashing them up!

Apparently 800 odd Aldershot at Torquay tonight.

 

Gary Groom!!!

 

He's someone I have not thought about recently.

 

 

[Alan W (GNFC)]

Gary Groom - A quality player whose career was cut short by injury I believe.

[Andy Y. (G&NFC)]

Its ok Forum readers.

 

I will accept your thanks for leaking the early kick off information in the form of pints of Fosters in the club bar!

 

btw, I went to school with Gary Groom. If you think he was little, his brother was absolutely tiny! both [****!!****]-hot footballers tho!

Before the kick off time was announced as 12noon (although Greg [marketing man] might have already knew it was) he is quoted as saying the club are expecting 3000-4000 on Saturday, so are printing 1500 programmes which are having 68 pages instead of 52 for more advertising.

 

After thinking about it I would say that isn't actually that bad a guess - 1500 from each side?

[Harry J Allstars]

Shots took between 800 to 1,000 to Torquay tonight where they won and pretty much won the league.

 

This is after Oxford won it last July, Stevenage won it in September and Torquay won it in October. Who'll win it come April I wonder?

[Derryman]

I watched the game on Setanta last night, where Aldershot ground out a win over a game Torquay side who gave it everything. I've seen Shots several times this season and they will be no pushovers. Indeed, last night's win will probably relax them for Saturday's game knowing they've the title pretty much wrapped up now.

Hannah, you are going to be busy.

Heard Aldershot took 800-900 fans all the way to Torquay Monday night, over a 1000 fans for them this weekend easy
