When The Flames Go Up - The ATFC Podcast

Will is joined by Ian to discuss their thoughts on Aldershot's exit from the FA Trophy to bottom of National League North Bishop's Stortford, where it all went wrong and what needs to change ahead of Saturday's away match against Kidderminster Harriers. We also preview the first home game for nearly a month as Aldershot host Bromley next Tuesday. 
We discuss the Tour of Duty choice for this season too, which is Hartlepool United away on 6 April. 
We're hoping to do a Loan Players You've Fallen in Love With XI next week as the first in our new section/series called Aldershot's All-Time XIs. Send in your suggestions to atfcpodcast@gmail.com or comment on any posts you see making sure to mention @willbrownatfc (the @ATFCpodcast Twitter/X account is currently out of reach, hopefully just temporarily). 

Will is joined by Ian, Julian and Joe for this week's panel, discussing their days out at The Hawthorns as Aldershot's cup run was ended by West Brom in clinical fashion - there are shoutouts to M5 service stations along the way too. 
We remark on our favourite FA Cup moments of the run and I blatantly nab a clip/shoutout from a podcast favourite of mine, Gig Pigs with Ivo Graham and Alex Kealy. The former is a Swindon Town fan (who was there that fateful day of the 7-4) and I met him six pints deep in a sports bar in Farringdon to rib him about it and do a crossword and they gave a little shout out on the pod that I wanted to highlight.  
I transgress! Enjoy the podcast and you might notice there's no Twitter activity from @ATFCPodcast and this is due to my phone breaking in Snobs (a story for another time, perhaps) and my inability to keep track of passwords.

Happy New Year! WTFGU is back to round up the three festive games featuring a loss, draw and win for The Shots. Will is joined by Julian, Joe and Ian on the panel to discuss the results, performances, Tommy Widdrington and Josh Stokes' suspension confusion before moving onto the elephant in the room: West Bromwich Albion (a) in the FA Cup Third Round this Sunday. 
 
We talk a lot about Tommy Widdrington's interview with Rob Worrall on the NL Full Time podcast. If you've not yet listened to it, please do, it'll make your week/month/season. Link to Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/6t6dSNumWAfT8JOEbyc5b1?si=6eb670e179134782

It's QUIZZZZZZ-MAS! Put on your festive hat, get a pen and paper and follow along our quiz of the year. Covering annoying questions such as who has got the most yellow cards for Aldershot in 2023 as well as some nightmare quizmaster slips in the latter rounds, there's something for everyone (that supports Aldershot, crucially, there's little in it for the Eastleigh fans Callum calls out in the pod). 
Find out who won out of our three contestants, Callum, Joe and Tim for the coveted prize of inaugural WTFGU ATFC Quiz of the Year champion.

Merry Christmas and, possibly, a Happy New Year factors depending if we choose to upload in between Christmas!

The panel of Julian, Ian, Callum and Will celebrate the FA Cup Second Round Replay victory over Stockport, THAT goal and the promise of West Bromwich Albion away in January. 
 
We also discuss the FA Trophy win over Eastleigh and look forward to the return to league action against the same opposition.

Will, Julian, Ian and Joe remark on Josh Stokes' performance at home to Stockport County in the FA Cup Second Round and celebrate an all-round great game at the Rec. We dismiss the Eastleigh game with reckless abandon but let's hope we're in both cup competitions by the time episode 3 swings around.

This week the panel of Will, Ian and Julian discuss Laurent Tolaj's last-gasp winner vs Halifax Town; Coby Rowe's headed 105th minute winner; a look ahead to Stockport County at home in the FA Cup; and a word on Aldershot's new signing, Ollie Bray.
