AFC Wimbledon are in with a play-off chance of promotion to the Conference South. From there it's one step to the Conference Premier and one more step to the league. It would be great if they could make it along with Aldershot and Accrington and even one day play MK Franchise on equal terms.

Thaumagurist* I expect a quick return to non-league for them.


I doubt it. Good manager and the club is starting to move forward.

We could be in the same league as them in 16 months. :shock:

Not really Spacey, no. Momentum could well carry Aldershot on and push for promotion next season. It happens often!
And the same can and does happen to relegated clubs. Not as unlikely as you think.

The only team I can think of who has had a successful transition from non-league to the Football League in recent years is Yeovil. I doubt Aldershit could do it. As you're being your usual negative twattish self if you belief we'll be dropping like a stone.

Carlisle, Doncaster, I'd say BArnet have done alright considering their resources. Morecamabe too have had a great season. Shrewsbury too have done pretty well before this season.

Aren't Carlisle, Doncaster, Barnet and Shrewsbury returning teams, rather than brand new teams new to the Football League?

Rushden and Macclesfield had back to back promotions.

I seem to recall that Rushden immediately went into freefall back to the non-league!

Macclesfield Town. They were Man City's derby in 98/99.

Because Max Griggs the guy who owns Dr Martens pulled his cash out of the club.

I doubt aldershot will challenge the top places next season but they should do ok, mid table.

Did anyone go to the 'friendly' quite a few seasons back now? Lots of bricks thrown and plenty of trouble.

There was no real segregation in the ground either.

Congratulations, the promotion has managed to make the prospect of a year in the Championship much easier, given we'll get to celebrate Aldershot's relegation from the football league at the end of the season.

Welcome back to the Football League (still hate you though).

My first ever away game was a cup replay against the Shite back in January 66 as a nine year old, so I have fond memories of my many visits to the Rec. Believe it or not they managed to cram 16,500 into the Rec for that one and it was a record crowd for them at the time. I spent the game sat on the touchline and then on top of a tea kiosk. Incredibly they managed to lever in another 3,000 or so for another Cup game against Carlisle in 1970 :shock:

Good luck to the Shots and congratulations.

However, I'd like to observe that a lot of their support look as though they should be working the fairs. Dodgems, mainly.

Their ground is not up to standard, they shouldn't be allowed in.
