Took my 3-year-old to the bus tour (too young for Wembley) and he’s been talking about the bus, really shiny trophy and how loud it was - in a good way - all morning.

It was bedtime by the time the bus returned but looks like the stuff inside the ground was fun. Just hope we let those who couldn’t attend have the chance to see the trophy up close and lift it.

Maybe a stall at Victoria Day?

I've been watching a lot of the videos from yesterday evening and they look fantastic, what a turnout.
I really hope we can harness some of this "feel good" factor and attract some more regulars next season.
it might also help attract some players.
A great way to end the season, well done to everyone, I'm already looking forward to next season.

We all know the old Town has its problems but how good did it look last night with red and blue everywhere. Well done to all that turned out last night at such short notice keeping the feel good factor going on from Sunday. Pleased the route passed through North Town as well where the team were greeted by so many.

It was an unbelievable turnout, I've never seen anything like it in the town.

You'd imagine the club will put Season Tickets on sale this week to capitalise on the feel good factor that seems to be at fever pitch right now.

Lets hope that it dawns on the council how big a pulling power the club is to the Town (lets be honest; there's nothing else at present that brings people To Aldershot other than the magistrates court) and helps with the redevelopment /gets things over the line .The Town could perhaps capture some of its old presteige with a lot of punters coming in for the football at least once a fortnight and what they'd spend in Town. A good redeveloped stadium would further underline the potential-and with it-the ambitions the club can have. A lot would buy into/come for that like they did on Sunday. It would be tragic if this ended up another missed opportunity.

We absolutely did Alex and we made memories that will last a lifetime, what a shame you couldn't join the thousands that saw something very special, an evening where we experienced a whole community coming together 🫢

Without getting too political (and local is vastly different to national), we now finally have a proactive MP so I’m sure she’ll be on it. Worth contacting her with any idea/a replication of this message though - no harm in that.

A shame alive and kicking was not played once in the stadium waiting for the players..

Not sure if mentioned but walking around on ithe pitch its obvious it will need replacing or serious remedial . Its is healthy and growing but uneven and constantly bumpy. That wouldve been hard to play on last few months

That’s a great video which I think will surprise those that think this was a pointless event. For a non league club to get the reaction from the fans like it has, before, during & after the final, has certainly captured the imagination of the football world by the looks of things. Our noisy neighbours across the border will be looking at us with the envy they are known for.

It just goes to show the potential that this club has & I hope this opens the eyes to everyone, what the club can achieve. The fans will back the team if they are willing to put in the hard graft.
Christ they are certainly bitter bless ‘em 😀😂

how anyone can try to downplay anything is beyond me.

The semi-final was just about untouchable to me, the drama, madness, just a day that I couldn't imagine beating. Wembley was almost unbelievable, literally. It was like a dream. Then last night seeing everyone out and about... priceless. You just can't beat this. You can't.

Some things just aren’t for everyone.

But again, I’m glad you had an enjoyable evening 👍🏻
