It being a bank holiday Monday, there was football on today. The (not always but sometimes) Mighty Shots were due to travel to Torquay for their latest game. Nicktor fancied a day out, explaining to Dawn that he was only … Continue reading →

Footings and football

Posted on February 25, 2014 by Gary

Tonight I went (with Nicktor and Bill) to my twelfth football ground, Prince’s Park. While this is nothing when compared with Nicktor (or Bill’s for that matter) tally, I reckon it’s not a bad total over about ten years. It … Continue reading →

Real support

Posted on March 12, 2013 by Gary

Aldershot have not been having the best of seasons. Having dropped down into the relegation zone of League 2, the manager was sacked and a new, fresh approach was implemented. Tonight I watched this new approach in action. We played … Continue reading →

Return to Middlesbrough

Posted on February 1, 2013 by Gary

Ever since going to Middlesbrough last weekend, I’ve wondered why they seem to be missing an ‘o’. Surely, it should be ‘Middlesborough’…but it’s not. Typical of the wonderful, variant English language. And it was like I was back there today, … Continue reading →

Being a football fan

Posted on August 21, 2012 by Gary

Tonight was the perfect Nicktor Night. I was saying to Mirinda on the weekend that to be perfect, a Nicktor Night should include dinner at a pub over a few pints, a trip to the Rec to see Aldershot play, … Continue reading →

Posted on March 28, 2012 by Gary

20 years ago (last Sunday) Aldershot Town Football Club disappeared. It had run into massive financial difficulties (there were no wages for months before the end) and had to cease operations. It was a seriously sad day for a lot … Continue reading →
