Letter in NLP
The following letter appeared in today's Non-League Paper.
We attended The Rec on two occasions last season as Hereford United fans, once in the league and then in the first leg of the play-off.
On both visits we were met with unhelpful and arrogant stewards, and videoed and watched by little Hitlers in their riot gear who unsuccessfully tried to antagonise and taunt us away fans.
When Aldershot Town FC has better arrangements for away fans, perhaps all the agression and frustation will cease.
It is certainly not a very pleasant ground to enjoy football when you are bombarded with coins, missiles and verbal abuse from home fans that stand metres away on the same terrace.
After the game we were kept in the ground for thirty minutes so the home fans could get away, upon our exit they were still hanging around the away coaches, surely it makes sense to clear the travelling fans out of the town and away first!
We travel many miles watching our team and every ground we've been to we have been made very welcome and everyone is friendly.
Come on Aldershot Town, sort out your local police force and make your club a friendly place to come to - and then the hooligan element may stop.
Debbie and Dave Lewis, Hereford.
