Prediction League – Game 1; v Aldershot (home)

Aldershot Town FC has had a busy summer of signings (sound familiar?), manager Kevin Dillon having added former Ashford Town winger Jermaine McGlashan, centre half Clayton Fortune from Conference South side Weston-Super-Mare, 20-year-old right-sided defender Aaron Morris from Cardiff City, winger/striker Wade Small , who played last season with League 2 rivals Chesterfield, striker Damien Spencer from Kettering Town, Manny Panther (who played for Morecambe last season on loan), Luke Gutteridge from Northampton, left back Jamie Vincent from Swindon and centre half Darren Jones from Hereford Utd to their squad.

We met 6 times in the Conference between 2003 and 2006; in 03/04 it was one win each, 04/05 it was two draws, but in 05/06 we did the double, 3-2 at our place and 4-1 at theirs. Excluding Conference games, we’ve played them four times since they returned to the league two seasons ago; in 08/09 we lost on the opening day of the season 1-0, and then lost the return game at the end of February 3-1 (Craig Lindfield scoring our goal); last season we again lost 3-1 at the EBB Stadium (Phil Edwards), but beat them 2-1 on a Tuesday night at the end of January with goals from Proccie and Billy Whizz. They finished the season 6th on 72 points (9 places and 11 points above us) but lost both legs of the Play Off games against Rotherham; they scored 69 (joint 5th) and conceded 56 (9th). We scored 62 (joint 9th) and conceded 74 (beaten only by Darlington’s 87)

As always the deadline for entries is scheduled kick-off time, that is 3pm on Saturday 7th August.

Good luck to eveyone ………… and thanks for playing!

Seems like just last week.............
