Aldershot Town to parade FA Trophy around town centre after Wembley final win
FA Trophy winners Aldershot Town will embark on an open-top bus tour around the town this evening.
The parade, which will begin and end at the EBB Stadium, will give supporters and locals a chance to both celebrate with the squad, and see the silverware for themselves, up close and personal.
The squad and players will tour around the town centre, before making its way down the high street and through the North Town region.
It will start from 6:30pm, and supporters are encouraged to attend a trophy presentation after the parade at 7:30pm.
It took the club nearly a century and two football clubs to reach Wembley again, as The Shots won 3-0 against Spennymoor Town of the National League North.
The Hampshire side beat fierce local rivals Woking FC in the semi finals, to make it to Wembley Stadium, taking over 18,000 supporters in the process.
Three second half goals from Jack Barham, Daniel Ellison and Josh Barrett saw the National League side run out the victors - in a season where their manager Tommy Widdrington was blighted with illness, suffering two strokes in November 2024.
The club reformed in 1992, rising from the ashes of the original Aldershot FC.
