The 2025 FA Trophy Final - Aldershot Town 3-0 Spennymoor Town (Match Day Thread)

[Ed-Shot]

I am hoping that both Tetek and Henry play as I believe that those two, on a decent surface, will pass us to victory.

So Wembley ticket page showing just 288 shots seats left, does anyone know what was our total allocation was with the various blocks opening up over the last few weeks ?

I also expect the Neutral section near us to be mainly shots as well

Fans cheered on Spennymoor Town as the side left for Wembley this morning.

The Moors are facing Aldershot in the final of the FA Trophy tomorrow (Sunday, May 11) afternoon at Wembley.

Setting off on the 250-mile trip from The Brewery Field to North West London, Graeme Lee’s side were applauded onto their team coach by fans.

The coach, clad in Spennymoor’s badge and ‘Pride of County Durham’ slogan, left at 9.30am on its four-and-a-half hour journey

Behind it, many supporters were making the same journey, with more than 3,800 tickets were sold for the big game.

It will be a big test for Lee’s part-time side against professional Aldershot Town, from a division above, in their first visit to the national stadium since 2013 where they triumphed in the FA Vase. If successful, they will be only the second club to win both trophies.

Last month the Moors secured their place at Wembley winning 5-4 on penalties against Rochdale after play ended in a 2-2 draw.

The game will also be shown live on TNT Sports 4 and Discovery Plus.

Will many Shots fans bother watching the FA Vase Final prior to the FA Trophy Final?

Hoping to watch some at least, but keen to soak up the atmosphere on (what used to be?) Wembley Way.

Think they have to play as there's hardly anyone else!

[Silasgoldeen]

sort of getting to that point isn't it? Never mind, whatever will be will be.

[Aldershot]

Predictions for tomorrow? I'll go with a relatively easy 4-1 Shots win!

I dreamed 1-0 Shots last night with an Aaron Jones header!

[Shots2000]

Don’t underestimate them. It will be very tough. But I think 2-1

Frost and Henry

My dream was 1-0 with a Frosty netbuster, assist Tetek.
