We used to ‘play up’ big time in the 80’s at Aldershot, pitch invasions, crowd trouble etc. I imagine some of their fan base can remember. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember a trip there in 1983, proper rumble at the back of the stand at half time, resulting in a foray onto pitch for me. Fortunately, I could run faster than 6 others, who became a tasty snack for the police dogs they let loose! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2 clubs have had very different trajectories since those days though. A 40 year grudge does seem rather excessive TBH. Almost gash like. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie BCFC Posted January 19 Report Share Posted January 19 Stokes used to play for Sudbury who were step 8 in the English pyramid and they played Hashtag United (semi pro YouTube team). Second half of this video onwards Sudbury comeback from 2-0 down and he is very instrumental 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stokes two assists and a goal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worked on some big roofing jobs down their, Redruth Camborne Helston and the locals working on site hated us. One job in Camborne when we walked into the canteen they would walk out. As for the pubs it was like An American Werewolf in London.!! I would hazard a guess that those same pubs would be just as welcoming today 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My old man got hit by a whiskey bottle one season and a shoe the next. The home and away sections were right next to each other and City always went in numbers. Saw Carl Shutt score a worldy there in injury time. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loosey Boy Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 16 minutes ago, Kid in the Riot said: I like the look of him, good signing. Is this one of the signings that Tinnion referred to at the Senior Reds this week? On the basis that it sounds like he would be loaned back, until the end of the season, I’d hope that he would be in addition to the other one or two players that we hope to sign (for the 1st team) before the end of the window. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twine should help on that score but he isn't the Messiah. However a win today against a Watford side that will be looking to avenge Boxing Day would at least keep us in with a sniff prior to four more very tough games on the horizon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If, as the great Sage says, it’s confirmed why ‘ hopefully ‘ confirmation coming . Shouldn’t it read ‘ confirmation coming’ without the doubt expressed by the word ‘ hopefully ‘ ?
