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

[Graham Stovold]

An absolutely brilliant day from start to finish. Got the train up & hearing the fans singing when we stepped off the train at Waterloo was something else. We decided to spend a couple of hours at box park with a lot of shots fans, luckily the advice that they were charging a tenner to get in, turned out to be a false dawn.

The atmosphere was brilliant, former players mingling with fans, the band was top class & the fans …Wow!

The team certainly turned up today & made us all proud . Great to see Jack get MOM, but I think Ellison ran him close. Tommy has taken some stick this season, but he rose above all that today & has given us a memory that will never fade


A truly magnificent day by a great club an atmosphere driven by a great bunch of supporters.

For anyone interested the attendance for the game was 38,600.

Great day and a great result. I was so pleased that not only did we actually turn up for the big game, but we really did (apart from a few moments) totally “bossed” it. Spennymoor looked totally shellshocked by the first goal and really didn’t recover.

Well done Shots! Let’s make another Wembley visit soon!

I couldn’t help thinking a significant proportion of the Shots following ended up in McDonalds on the Ash Road about 20:30!

Bloody great performance well done lads & Tommy

[Aldershot]

What a fantastic occasion it was. It started the moment I reached London Waterloo and could hear the supporters in full voice. Not the greatest of first halfs but they certainly made up for it in that second half. Complete control and The Shots could've won by more than the 3-0 margin. Cracking goal from Josh Barrett. Hopefully this will encourage more people to turn up at The Rec next season

Well done the Shots, amazing result. I was listening to BBC Radio Surrey from the Far East where I now live and 8 hours in time ahead. Great to win by such a good margin and to keep a clean sheet as well. This shows our potential when we play well.

Found a stream on my phone, unfortunately the hour made it difficult to find a pub willing to put the game on in Bali.

Congrats to the coaching staff, players and supporters, looked like a great day out.

So proud of our team, our town and our fans.

Super Aldershot of The South! SATS!

Scott Davis, Antony Charles, Kirk Hudson were in there. Someone put on Facebook that Glen Burvil was there as well

really iconic "Wembley" goals as well. Barham's after a great bit of work by Henry and a surprisingly adept little finish, Ellison with a classic near post header off a corner, and Josh with a big expansive volley to finish the job. Fantastic stuff.

Armitage and Woodhouse were deep in conversation at the final whistle for a moment. What a few months they've shared together.

Up to 1130am yesterday, I couldn't make it.

Then a "sod it" moment and the company of a friend's 9 year old son (who'd only been to 60 minutes of a pre-season friendly before) and a trip home to book tickets and parking. Left Farnham just before 130pm and got in the stadium at 350pm.

47 years watching the Shots and the memories of a lifetime for me and a 9 year old were made.
