Thanks, Kipax, for starting this thread.

Also , Adam Cottier , thanks.

The Aldershot supporters are deserving of the highest praise.

Their Rory poster was , erm , "uproryous". And Rory should be flattered by it.

Their drumming was astonishing - but then again , perhaps not , as they are an Army town.

Their "confetti" was a colourful and friendly bit of action.

Their relentless singing and chanting were , I'm sure , a major contribution to their ten-man side retaining a point.

I hope that our-fans-who-met-their-fans got on well ; I trust our supporters to be decent to all visitors.

Accrington Stanley and Aldershot Town have gone down such a parallel route , haven't they ? Promoted to the Conference as Champions of the Unibond Premier and the Ryman Premier respectively. (We'll draw a veil over the other Club who were promoted that year from the Doc M's)

Our first game against each other (as amateurs) in the Conference - first game last season and televised - was even more eventful than last night's gladiatorial combat !

Yes. Let's wish Aldershot well , because their success is ultimately our success.

Oh, and I agree that a tin roof overhead doesn't half help your cause !
