......by Aldershot fans!
At teatime tonight Aldershot had sold 5000 tickets.
Surely that must be a huge let down for everyone involved with Aldershot FC considering the amazing response from STFC followers.
I'm hoping the fact that we outnumber AFC by nearly 3 to 1 gives us a huge advantage.To see 13000 plus STFC fans inside the Brittania stadium will give the players a massive lift.

Dont forget Aldershot have to travel three or four times the distance we do to get to Stoke, they've sold over 6,000 now though which is a decent effort, hopefully we could be looking at a crowd of over 20,000 now?

Amount of fans within the stadium don't win games , the support helps and no doubt STFC fans will give there all but its the 11 on the pitch that can only do the job.
FA Cup Final Liverpool V Wimbledon ring a bell.

Agreed with Dale, think Aldershot have done well.

Why is it a poor response? Its 178 miles from Aldershot to Stoke, Early Sunday travelling, they have an average home attendace of 3,249 and to take double what they averaged isnt bad for a Town who's team has been in non league obsucrity for 12 years.

agreed top effort from Aldershot - this may be their biggest ever away support
and really Stoke is just around the corner for us, I guess Aldershot would have preferred the Madjedski Stadium at Oxford.
But that's the way it is.

Who is writing you off?
you've taken 4 points from us this season. we got 1.
You are a proficient team.
To beat you will be difficult.
but surely the amount of support will have a bearing on confidence!
good luck anyway. but not too much good luck!

Nice to see you shrews giving credit where credit is due. As the song goes ' no one likes us' and that includes most people living in the town! 7.5k is a miracle!
We only took 1100 to Hereford - outnumbered 7-1 and look what happened there......
Lets hope we can avoid penalties one way or another - can't go through that again.
