Lovely little ground, have seen us win there twice and draw there, gave us a great reception when we won the Championship of the old 4th Division when we won 4-2 there.
Some fave memories was our 7-0 drubbing of them in 83 and a 6-3 against them in 76.
Real old school ground with 2 and a half stands and a trawler net behind one of the goals to stop the ball going onto the main road!

From the station at Colchester
To the cells of Warrington
From the services at Leicester
To the slums of Northampton
We travel over England
And one day Europe too
Cos we all follow the Swindon
We're the famous Town End crew.

If I recall correctly the 7-0 game was in the FA Cup....may have been 1-0 at half time. Andy Rowland and Howard Pritchard both scored hat tricks....don't think I've ever seen that before or since. |

Think you are right Reg, forgotten i'd ever been to that game, but what you have said seems to bring a flicker back to the old grey cells

Happy with this, new ground to do! lets just hope we don't embarass ourselves in a Barnet esq type of way.

I've seen us play at the Rec quite a few times.The last 2 occasions were pre season games;
July 99 under Quinn and back in August 91 Hoddle's first pre-season.The 91 game sticks in my mind,
because we were due to play Leicester in the opening game,the following weekend and i remember
seeing John Gregory,Brian Little's assistant at that time,on a scouting mission.Secondly,it was
a lovely hot day and England were playing the Windies at the Oval in Viv Richards farewell test.
Aldershot went bust about 6 months later.

I will have to be honest Alan, I know absolutely bugger all about Aldershot apart from them and Reading being old rivals. Are they traditionally considered a football league side?
If so I suppose it is excellent that, despite it taking a while, they have now got their league place back after going bust.

I have done some research now. If we accept that Aldershot FC and Aldershot Town FC are the same entity, then they enjoyed football league membership from 1932 through to 1992.
Their current rivals are Woking. But only because they haven't played Reading for a while.

It's my understanding that the new Aldershot Town wanted to be considered a new side and so ditched Aldershot FC's record. Which is of course the way it should be....just like Bristol City 1982, should be considered a different club to the previous Bristol City. |

i've been to aldershot.watched them play maidstone in a fa cup match not long before both clubs went out of business.we had an away game at ipswich called off due to snow that day,which is why we ended up in aldershot for the crack.
had a couple of turnstiles at one end of the ground and then you could walk all around the place and watch from wherever you wanted.
