It is my favourite football chant of all time.
SINGING I'VE GOT A BIGGER, I'VE GOT A BIGGER, I'VE GOT A BIGGER ONE THAN YOUUUUU.
Yeah man, that Aldershot thing has come out of the blue really. Twice in 20 years for them.
Isn't someone lined up to buy them out though? Thought I read that earlier?!

It appears to be posturing at the moment.
One of the directors claims to have some cash but the players have not been paid for a month.Comment

Yeah I think their captain mentioned something about it on Twitter last night.
How did they end up in this mess? Surely they'll get some sort of parachute payment next season or is that not applicable to teams in League Two and the Conference?!Comment

Aldershot is to close?

Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.
May the Lord bless this post.Comment

I've just realised you're only talking about the football club.

Interesting.
I guess gates have been down because of Aldershot's current season but these issues seem to have appeared from nowhere.
They rent the ground from the council don't they? So **** knows what they'll do if they don't find a buyer.
Farnborough heading to the wall too so that's great news for the local economy.

Azeem nearly sent Woking out of business so he has some previous.
I guess they will go part time find a buyer and start again.Comment

As much as I dislike Aldershot, it's **** seeing clubs go out of business. Especially when it's down to the ownership.
Thing is once they got promoted they never kicked on. They sacked off all the players that got them back into the football league, invested **** all and then ended up like this. Was always going to happen.

This season was supposed to be the kick on but it never happened.

Looks likely they're going to cease to exist
Aldershot Town in danger of liquidation on Thursday
The administrators of Aldershot Town say they will be forced to liquidate the club on Thursday unless creditors accept the terms of a consortium's bid.
The consortium, led by Shahid Azeem, have raised more than £600,000 in an attempt to save the non-league outfit.
BBC Surrey understands three former directors are among creditors unable to accept the terms of the bid.
Town entered administration in May with debts of about £1m, five days after being relegated to the Conference.
Current and former players of the club are believed to have been offered less than 100% of what they are owed, with negotiations continuing via the Professional Footballers' Association.
PFA deputy chief executive John Barnwell told BBC Surrey: "We're looking at it, talking to players, and seeing how we can resolve it."
Azeem's consortium, which is being supported by Tony Knights and John Leppard, issued a joint statement with Quantuma Restructuring, Aldershot's administrators, on Tuesday.
"Working with the administrators, the consortium had believed that they could take the club out administration this week," the statement said.
"However, there are still some major hurdles which, if unresolved, will prevent the only bid proceeding.
"Primarily these hurdles revolve around creditors (both football and non-football) accepting compromises in order to reduce their debts to match the offer received.
"The administrators have made it very clear that unless a deal is completed by Thursday this week, the prospects of saving the football club are slim as there is little or no cash left to meet ongoing trading and there are no other offers on the table.
"In the event that the club fails and goes into liquidation, there will not be any dividend payment to creditors whatsoever.
"The next few days are critical in terms of the survival of the club and we urge all supporters and creditors to get behind the bid put forward by the consortium.
"Unless that bid proceeds, the club will stop trading and will enter into liquidation."
Aldershot were accepted into the Conference at the league's AGM last month but are due to start the season on -10 points.
