I got promoted with Aldershot in my first season thanks to a couple of lucky signings I guess. After the season I turned down a couple of offers (Tranmere, The Dons) just to see how "my" team could cope in the 2nd league.

I was hoping to get some cash for new players but the board didn´t give me anything despite the first heroic season with promotion!

4 games into the season I had my 4 best players out injured (3-7 months!) and my goalscoring machine out for 8 months. I had to sell a very promising (well...for Aldershot anyway) midfielder as I hoped to get money to sign a replacement or two. I got 6.000.

Nine games into the season Aldershot is in a shocking second place! Do not ask me how because I´ve been outplayed and outshot in every singel game but somehow I´ve managed to get a late winner! I suppose it´s just a matter of time before my luck ends...but I´m having a good time right now anyway!

The economics is getting better but I´m still in the red. Aldershot can not attract any decent players so this will be a tough season.

But still...I´m second with £6000 to spend.

Did you say Chelski? That's a fortune.

I remember someone managing Aldershotski for a spell in the last incarnation, eh Fergusonovic?

I played against 'The Shots' once, the fans were particularly harsh towards one of our players with longer, shall we say hippyish, hair.

I believe the chant went something like this .....

ahem ..... "Where's your caravan, where's you caravan, where's you caravan, where's you caravan etc etc ...."

Very imaginative!

I'm the mighty Shots too; half way through the first season and on the fringes of the play-offs, about where we are in real life. I've reached the third round of the Cup though and was looking forward to a bumper pay day. I drew Tranmere

their coppers nicked our mascot for squirting a water pistol at them!

retired_Emess

Quite right too. What sort of example is that setting to the innocent little kids we get at the Rec?

Hey, it was at kingfield.

According to the programme he was stuck in a cell licking his own arse for a couple of days.

Remind me not to watch TV at your house.

retired_stelutaivan

Ha Ha, I was waiting for that.

Just to clarify for people who haven't seen any games at Kingfield, the Woking mascot is a cat.
