Even though the fans’ expectation levels were low, the
2014-15 campaign still yielded very little joy. The only
real highlight was the 1-0 victory over League 2 side
Portsmouth at home in an FA Cup first round replay
following a well-deserved 2-2 draw at Fratton Park.
Another strong home display saw a goalless draw claimed
against League 1 Rochdale in round 2, although many
criticised the fact that the Shots’ dominance didn’t
materialise into a victory. A season-defining four days
was endured in mid-December – they were surprisingly
dumped out of the FA Trophy at home in a first-round
tie by Isthmian League Division 1 Southside Burgess Hill
Town (who were 55 places below the Shots in the football
pyramid) before being brushed aside by Rochdale in their
FA Cup second-round replay (4-1). Following constant
criticism of his playing style, a run of just one win in 12
games in all competitions (including five successive home
league defeats and just two wins in 11 league games that
had seen the Shots drop to 18th in the table) led to Andy
Scott being sacked in mid-January 2015.

Defender Chris Barker took picked up the reins for the
season’s remaining 15 games on a player-caretaker basis
and led the Shots to Conference safety before stepping
aside in the summer to become player-assistant to
newly-appointed ex-Dundee boss Barry Smith.

2015-16 ONWARDS
The 2015-16 season was another one of disappointing
performances, epitomised by a club record 8-2 defeat
by Chester in early March. The Shots finished the
campaign having scored just 23 home league goals,
equalled the club record for fewest home league wins
(7) and most home league losses (12) as well as setting
new club records for most league losses in a season (22)
and lowest average home league attendance (1607); the
season was also the fourth in succession in which the
aforementioned crowd figure had dropped. Conversely,
the nine away league victories was the club’s best tally
since they won the Conference Premier in 2007-08.
Another lasting memory will be the dearth of attempts
on goal that the Shots had over the course of the season.

With boss Barry Smith having decided to return to his
native Scotland, May 2016 saw Gary Waddock become
the first-ever Shots boss to return, which ultimately led
to the Shots starting a campaign with a higher level of
hope than had been seen for many a season.

  That season also saw records set for victories in a Conference
  season (31) and most number of home wins by Aldershot FC or
  Aldershot Town, with 18, as well as triumph in the Setanta Shield
  and a run to the semi-final of the FA Trophy.

  “It’s a situation I never thought I’d be in but I’m delighted to be
  here,” said Waddock. “It’s a nice feeling. I like to assemble squads
  that I would like to watch. I’ve missed the people here and I’ve
  missed the supporters – the atmosphere they created at home
  games was amazing and I loved that. We have to be able to give
  them something to cheer about and we’re going to try our best to
  get this place rocking again.”

  “Gary was clearly the number one choice for a lot of supporters,
  and he was our number one choice too,” explained Chairman
  Shahid Azeem. “The Board have listened to what the fans have
  told us, but it was a tough decision. Ultimately, though, we need
  somebody who will galvanise the Club and bring supporters back
  to the EBB Stadium. I hope that all Aldershot Town supporters
  are as excited about what Gary can achieve here as we are.”

  The Kingsbury-born 54 year-old began his career with Queen’s
  Park Rangers in 1979 and rapidly forged a fine reputation as a
  tough-tackling midfielder. In a career spanning 491 Football
  League appearances, Gary played in the 1982 FA Cup Final, won
  the Second Division championship in 1982-83, and subsequently
  played for Charleroi, Millwall, Swindon Town, Bristol Rovers and
  Luton Town. He also won 21 caps for the Republic of Ireland and
  narrowly missed out on selection for the 1990 World Cup.

  Gary’s coaching career began back at Loftus Road, with the
  Rangers Academy, from where he graduated, in February 2006,
  to first-team manager.

  Having taken The Shots into the Football League in his first
  season, Aldershot Town finished 15th in League Two and had risen
  to sixth when, after two-and-half-years at the EBB Stadium,
  Gary was appointed a manager of Wycombe Wanderers, in
  October 2009. He led the Chairboys to promotion back into
  League One in 2011.

  Following a spell as Head of Coaching at MK Dons, Gary was
  appointed Head Coach at Oxford United and, in 2014, Assistant
  Manager and then Caretaker Manager at Portsmouth. He joined
  Barnet last year but now returns to management with the Club
  where he made his name.

UK OVER 65 FINALS AT WORCESTER UNIVERSITY

We arrived as the smallest set up, playing against the top teams in the
country after the over 65’s qualified for the WFA UK National Finals at
Worcester University on Sunday 15th September after a thrilling play-off
victory over Leyton Orient.

On an extremely hot day, we opened against the experienced Norwich
Socca which saw Martin Payne’s penalty give us a 1-0 win. Next up was
the northern power of Wigan Athletic where Alan Barton was on the
scoresheet. We managed to hold on as Nick produced a string of fine
saves taking us into our final group match versus Bedworth. Two goals
from Alan Barton gave us a 2-1 victory which saw us head into the semi-
final where we were drawn against Birmingham City although during the
match, we lost Richard Fincher to a groin injury.

Unfortunately, we were unable to overcome Birmingham City, a team of
international players with many trophies but it had been a brilliant day out
and we are now able to say that we are in the top 4 teams in the UK.

If you fancy joining us for walking football at the Hive, all you need to do
is turn up! It’s a great way to stay fit and have a laugh and you only need
to be able to walk and breathe, hopefully see you soon on the Astro-Turf
pitches!

                          respectively.                                 ball towards Simeon Akinola at the back-

                          The first chance of the game fell
                          Maidenhead’s way on four minutes when         With seven minutes of the half remaining,
                          James Akintunde twisted and turned            Mason-Clark found Fonguck in the box
                          before drilling low into Scott Loach’s        before the Bees’ returning number 18
                          gloves.                                       poked the ball wide via a deflection.

Moments later, Charlee Adams tested Taye
Ashby-Hammond in the Maidenhead net,
striking first time on the edge of the box but
his low effort was well saved.

The Bees continued to pose an attacking
threat in the latter stages of the half as the
Magpies stood strong to maintain their clean
sheet.

The second half began just how the first ended
as the hosts continued to pose danger going
forward and it nearly paid off on the hour mark
when Cheye Alexander’s shot flew over.

Fonguck nearly marked his return with a goal
as he was played through before shooting just
wide of the upright.

The Bees did finally have their noses in front
though after Adams charged forward before
his initial shot was saved, falling to the feet of
Walker who blasted home on 66 minutes.

James Akintunde had an equaliser in his sight
when he tried his luck from distance, curling
the ball around Loach via a deflection but his
shot fell narrowly wide.

Ryan Upward went close as well soon after as
his cross from the right nearly floated into the
top corner but Barnet’s number one was on
hand to palm away the danger.

In stoppage time, substitute Jack Barham,
who replaced Walker just minutes before,
nearly slotted home the second but his effort
from close range fizzed wide.

The miss didn’t prove costly as the Bees
held on to clinch maximum points and end
the Magpies’ unbeaten run on the road this
season.

Jake Kirby, the Stockport County winger, has decided to
retire from football, aged 25. He featured many times
for the Hatters last season, as they claimed the National
League North title, and had already played eight times this
season. “There has been no simple or singular reason for
Jake’s recent decision, just a strong feeling for change” said
County manager Jim Gannon. “We have talked over the
situation extensively and were happy to support him fully
in his decision to leave football at this point. For whatever
reason, or circumstance people find themselves in, it is
not for us to seek to fully understand or solve, but simply
to listen and support and help them find the right way for
themselves”.
