I get around to a few grounds. my website http://phildanmatt.weebly.com/ Last published English ground was Portland United (but I am 5 behind...think Dan has a couple to put up too) I also do bigger grounds with stands just as empty :2thumb: But specialise in provincial Belgian...

It's a brave move for Smith I hope it works out for him. Not sure I would move my young family 400 odd miles to work for a small company.....but maybe the fact he is prepared to do that is an indication of the sort of guy he is and that bodes well. Good luck to him. Hope he is able to turn the...

Whilst not disagreeing with you, it is all down to perception. Fans will interpret the appointment of Barker (rightly or wrongly and allowing for some levels of fluctuation) that the club will continue to struggle in the lower reaches of the division once again. Unfortunately, the BOD came out...

Agreed slappy....should have let them in for free. Top effort if this had been a one off, but these poor souls have been playing twice a week for months

The numbers of contributions to this thread have far exceeded my expectations as did the entertainment value on the pitch last night, which was waaaaaaay better than the previous times I have seen Aldershot this season. Whilst still not even close to what is expected I have seen far far worse...

Well yes chaps...there is a game tonight, but I very much doubt anyone has realised, and if they have, I very much doubt they could be bothered to start a thread. But, as I am actually going to this game, I thought I would start what is likely to be the shortest match thread in the board's short...

Apologies. The reason I said it was two fold. One, it is unusual for a company that small to be a plc due to the additional regulatory requirements (for little benefit - most (although admittedly not all) companies become plc to be traded on an exchange) Two, I thought a while ago that 'new'...

All clubs are likely to be ltd companies (I doubt Grimsby are a PLC) and as such are required to file accounts. The problem with these is, as someone point out above, identifying what costs are player related and what are not. From memory I believe Aldershot's first set of accounts for the...

It's a pity that clubs don't publish their budgets or there is a budget limit........but then what would we talk about between games

Ah yes....the national hockey stadium. What a place!

And if you are interested here are the away turnouts this weekend in the Netherlands where travelling as an away fan is like no other country (there were 5 sold out away ends, 7 games were bubble games) Willem II at Zwolle 245 Groningen at Vitesse 153 NAC at Heerenveen 253 (252 actually as I...

Here are the current years stats for Regionalliga West (one of 5 divisions in tier 4 Germany). http://www.rot-weiss-essen.de/hafenstrasse/1-mannschaft/regionalliga.html You need to click on the tab ''zuschauerstatistiken'' As with the conference, the 4 clubs at the top of the list are 'fallen...

Fair play, that is a cracking turnout from Chester.

http://uk.soccerway.com/matches/2015/02/07/germany/regionalliga/alemannia-aachen/rot-weiss-essen/1766469/ Game I was talking about in the 4th tier regional league in Germany. As for the away crowds, I said I had seen them (e.g. Spakenburg v Ijselmeervogels in NL and Beerschot Wilrijk when in...

Unless something has changed at Alty I can't believe there are anywhere near 2,000 seats. Doubt there are even 1,300?

Travel in Belgium and Holland is obviously less, I quoted that as I know for a fact as I have seen it. But you get the bigger away support in more local games in Germany just as you do with games in England. RW Essen took 6,000 to an away game (and wanted more) in Aachen last month in tier 4...

Tickets are reasonably priced yes, not cheap. English prices are stupid. But don't believe everything you read about certain countries (ahem Germany - where terrace prices are reasonable, but seat prices often are not).

You'd be surprised. Has happened to my knowledge in Germany, Holland and Belgium (away support of over 2,500 at that level)....but there will be alot more. Also remember, England has fewer leagues per tier (England doesn't really have a pyramid of football till tier 7) than most countries so...

Yes conf to FL. You will be surprised. Aldershot ended up with that stupid mechano set down one end (which they rarely used) as they didn't have enough seats.

Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere, but have all the contenders for promotion and the play offs been given the green light for entry to the 'promised land'?
