Home Blanker: Aldershot Town 0-0 Barnet

After the Boxing Day postponement I was looking forward to a decent performance and possibly another three points against Barnet who are, like this division, somewhat Jekyll and Hyde. Having been absent for the Stockport home win, I was perhaps too expectant of Craig Tanner who drifted in and out of the game and was eventually substituted.

To add, Barrow fans reading this that are miffed about the slagging on ShotsWeb, … Continue reading The Cumbrian Weekender

Throwing It All Away: Shots 2-2 Spireites

EAST BANKERS ENSEMBLE ON GOOD FORM Recorded the first fifteen minutes of Saturday’s game. Near to Elvis (snare) and Scotty L (bass) a few rows down. What strikes me about this is the audio quality, considered it was from my coat pocket. “Come On The Shots” is done like a 12″ remix and – almost a concert – brilliant stuff! Play this through Cinemasound hifi … Continue reading Throwing It All Away: Shots 2-2 Spireites
