The 2025 FA Trophy Final - Aldershot Town v Spennymoor Town (Match Day Thread)

[Aldershot]

I'm surprised the club hasn't released special edition shirts for Wembley. I don't mean the t-shirts but the actual club kit with the date, opponent and occasion under the club logo. Perhaps that'll happen once the home and away team are confirmed and we know what colours both sides will be wearing? I know we did so for the 2004 Nationwide Conference Play-Off Final.

There is no colour clash, so each team will wear their home kit. I suppose the big question is what are Errea's turnaround time?

Despite our league campaign would you consider this a successful season if the Shots win the FA Trophy?

We haven’t yet. Fat lady sings an’ all that.

I'll take any bets

Confidence of an easy win y'day at Wembley by Brummie fans turned to despair and bad language. And there were toys out of the pram by Brummie players. Some 50 points separated the teams in League One.

Decent rollover job by The Posh.

Is anyone else considering sitting in the neutral section rather than the designated Aldershot Town section? It's the same price but a much better view. Perhaps we could turn the neutral section into the ATFC part of the ground?

It's not a bad idea as you will get a good view of our support and hear the noise very well.

do they go on sale same time? I am interested in level 2 seats for sure so maybe will just wait a bit before buying.

Yes they both go on sale at the same time. However The Shots would need to sell 7,000 tickets before level two becomes available in the designated Shots section. At least with the neutral section they are from the halfway line (TV style view) rather than behind the goal round to the halfway line.

In the neutral section entrance is only accepted with a Half and half scarf.

For that occasion it might have to be a quarter and quarter and quarter and quarter scarf!

If by hook or by crook we beat Spennymoor, and avoid relegation, it means by the time the third round proper rolls round in December, we would have gone 2 calendar years without a Trophy defeat.

That’s where I’ll be sitting and cheering on the mighty Shots (as an Oldham fan I thought I should do the decent thing and sit in the “neutral section” above you and leave all available tickets for Shots fans in your section.

I’m absolutely chuffed for you making it to Wembley, going to be a fantastic day for you all and richly deserved.

I’m hoping we’ll be there for the Playoff final but that will take a minor miracle the way we’re currently playing!
