So Leicester are playing what is probably their biggest game of the season against Leeds...live on sky as well...So what are we doing? Making our way down south to watch a completly meaningless game in the bottom division of our country. Hmmm. Mad you say??
The main attraction was the fact that our german buddies would be over to watch the game (yes they are craazier than us!)
So with this crazy idea being mine it was no surprise to see I was driving! After a beer stop in Hemel Hempstead (And you thought that this wouldn't get any wierder) to catch the first half of the Leicester game on sky we arrived at Aldershot, parking 5 minutes from the ground right next to a pub! (Of course)
After a few pre-match beers and hello's to our cock-a-ney/german friends we headed to the ground. Alex was suitably dressed!
The que to get in the away end was un-real. I mean come on, everyone knows Barnet are a massive club so it would make sense to open up more than 1 turnstile!
When we finally got inside the ground, I was impressed. I'd heard a lot about the ground being very old and having a bit of character for a small club.
The away end was basically a third of one end behind the goal. There was a big segregated area and on the other side were the Red & Blue Army Ultras - Aldershots noisest and most colourfull supporters
Barnet fans were in colour and good voice too.
The germans added some blue colour!
So the game kicked off and the to my surprise the standard wasn't that bad really. Barnet had Paul Furlong upfront. Still going at the age of 40. Impressed?
Albert Adomah was easily Barnets best player giving the shot's full backs plenty of problems.
A bit of strange football knowledge here but John Motson actually sponsors Albert!!
An early goal from Micheal Leary, which was superbly taken had the bee's buzzing!
They went in 1 up at the break so it was silly photo time!
