Aldershot lost at Mansfield, not such a good result.

Oh what it is to reminisce, an away game in the cup where we didn't have to fight for tickets, must have been at least 200 of us there...thought that I was going to get my head stoved in at Hull station when I fell for the "excuse me mate, do you know what the time is, trick" never in my life have I been so glad to see two members of the local Constabulary walk round the corner.

A very cold old day if I remember right....Had trouble with the boys in blue for climbing on the fence when we scored the winner..killjoys

I remember TC scored that day and then about 30 seconds later the Auditor was on the fence followed by a few boys in blue asking him to get down.

I think the reply was something along the lines of "Fcuk off I've travelled 300 miles to see this".

Boothferry Park a real sh1thole of a ground.
