I know he was doing scouting work for Middlesbrough quite recently, so I guess he might be coming on board in that sort of role.
I presume Aldershot have decided that they're not going to give him the manager's job full-time?
They've said they're doing a slightly different fund-raising campaign this year - any member of the Forces can get a ticket to the Brighton game for a tenner, and all of the revenue from those tickets will go to Help for Heroes.
Trains are going to be an arse for that trip though.
Network Rail are using the Christmas/New Year period to do the majority of the work on widening the tunnel at Southampton Central so they can increase the amount and size of the freight trains going through there. As a result, that tunnel will be closed between Boxing Day and January 3rd with bus replacements to Parkway.

Nope, moved because Bristol Rovers' near non-league neighbours Paulton Rovers are at home to Norwich on the Saturday in a televised game, and the OB can't/don't want to have to police two games in near proximity.
It's 15% for cup games... when we were there 18 months ago, we had about 1600 if I remember rightly, probably about 1000 on the terrace and the rest seated behind the goal
