Championship and below 2015/16

My two teams are Watford and Aldershot. The Shots are my nearest local team, my first game being in the mid 70s. First saw Watford live in the very early 80s. Best years were watching Aldershot after they were born again in Ryman Div 4, going all over the place to all manner of grounds. Nowadays its following Watford exclusively as with cost and kids there is only so much you can squeeze in! Fag packet calculation, I must have watched nigh-on 850 games live I reckon.
 
I go and watch a few MK Dons games - one of the guys in the swindle has a box so we go along and watch and cheer them on - been going about 3 years now

Went to the last Aldershot home game as a league club. Great atmosphere. Always liked going there when Fulham played.

I saw Brighton around 1975 at Elm Park. Think you win 3-2, and Peter Ward was playing for you. He was a class above what must have been the old second division.

Wardy was definitely a cut above the rest ,absolute legend at Brighton .

A special mention for a very special guy for all Boro fans.

Ali Brownlee was the voice of Boro for many years until very recently, when he was diagnosed with cancer just before Christmas at the very tender age of 56. Ali and Maddo's commentary for the Boro matches, especially the away games for those of us who didn't travel to all the away games, is legendary.

Ali, sadly, died last night. Ali, I'll be raising a glass to you just before kick off against the old enemy tonight. Hope you've got a great view from up there buddy.

C'mon Boro!

Was a pleasure to join in with the rest of the Everton fans in the applause for him at the Carling Cup Match, was a lovely gesture, very sad, proper Boro legend, RIP Ali.

Lovely tribute to him tonight on the Tyne Tees News.

Sad news and at such a young age

Hopefully they can get the points and promotion for him


On another note - does Leeds not have a shirt sponser ?
 
That was a very enjoyable game for a nil nil draw lots of chances with some great saves from both keepers

To answer your question Phil we don't have a shirt sponsor this season. We are supposed to but our idiot chairman decided to breach the contract with our previous sponsors. Just another court case to add to the list!!

Played great last night and I think a draw was a fair result. I'll take that against Boro.

Credit to the Boro fans for their tribute to Ali Brownlee and it was nice to see the Leeds fans pay tribute as well. At the end of the day rivalries should be put aside for times like this.

The Cellino out protest on the side of our stand looked great. Not many news feeds reporting it but hopefully it's the start of getting him out?

Isn't he just going to dig his heels in and develop a siege mentality?
 
0-0 tonight and thats not a bad result for Brighton,we didnt let them put a gap at the top and we are still only 3 points off the top.
as for Fulham ,oh dear ,they have got to get some stability going or they are really going to struggle. 3-0 to Blackburn wasnt what was needed and Blackburn have leap frogged them in the league as well.
