Like Aldershot for example :winking:
Would that be the same Aldershot Town you have never beaten? :winking:

You claim the history of Aldershot FC therefore we have beaten your club more than once including a 10-1 victory.
Errr, no we don't, it is totally seperate, and in fact, should we try to then it would be illegal.
You'd better check your clubs website mate, it shows the history of the club including it's inception up to the demise in 1992 and thenit's rise from the ashes under the Aldershot Town FC. I'd say Aldershot Town FC has more validity to its past than AFC Wimbledon.
I don't deny that the history from the old club is there, obviously fans from then are fans now, it is purely an interest thing. However, the two clubs are entirely seperate entities. Not sure about the Wimbledon thing, it's a lot more complicated than our history, in our case one club went bust and died and another was formed. There is far more to AFCs history and formation than I would care to delve into.
And to the poster who mentioned the 10-1. I know, I was there :'(
Confused ... to my mind you can either claim Aldershots history as your own (1-10 and all) or start again and be a club with limited league history
I did applaud you for your endeavours in the Shots return but the attitude of some of your fans these past couple of days has definately rocked that
I think what has wound them up is the suggestion that there may have been underhand dealings going on regarding the lights going out and the antics of one or two your players at the end.
We don't claim the history for our own, but many of the supporters of the club clearly supported the old club to and will be forever linked. We are not allowed Legally to claim the old history and that would effectively make us the old club again and then it would get messy...
As for the attitude of some of our supporters, tell me about it. We have some proper bell-ends on our board as you may have noticed but the majority are alright and fair minded.

Cheers Barrys Boss. All I am here for is a bit a of banter and occasional intelligent conversation too. I fully understand the issue of the floodlights, I really do and if we were in a reverse positon I'm sure I'd be fed up with it too.
It's the issue of the coin throwing I'm concerned with. Can you provide a link to who has admitted it? We have had a bit of history with this sort of thing and it's cost us dear. If one of the perpetrators can be identified and dealt with it would give immense satisfaction.
As for the re-arranged game, I too hope it is a calm affair, and I think it would be prudent to give a it couple of weeks before it's played as tempers seemed to be getting frayed. As to the ref., I believe Mr. Ward has to ref. it again as per FL regulations, except for extenuating circumstances such as injury. I hope he breaks his bloody neck!
