Aldershot Town fans are coming together to pay tribute to a 15-year-old fan who was killed in a stabbing in Guildford earlier this week. The teenager was a supporter of Aldershot Town FC and had attended the club's matches. Following the news, fans took to the club's unofficial fan pages to organize a tribute for the teenager, which will see them clap for one minute in the 15th minute of their home game on Saturday against Carlisle. The fan-organized tribute has been supported by the club itself, who made a statement to SurreyLive to say they are deeply saddened by the news, sharing their heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of the young fan. Plans for the tribute were thought up by Facebook user Henry Harrison, who took to the 'Aldershot Town Football Club Fans Group' to say he was really upset by the news and wanted to do something to remember the young lad. The Facebook post received nearly 300 likes and over 50 comments with many sharing their sadness at the news of the 15-year-old's death. Surrey Police announced on Wednesday morning that it had arrested a 15-year-old and 16-year-old on suspicion of murder in relation to the fatal stabbing. They remain in custody while police enquiries continue. The club's statement said they are aware of the fan-organized tribute planned for the 15th minute of their fixture against Carlisle this weekend at the EBB Stadium, which they fully welcome, with everyone at the club joining in paying their respects. As is tradition, at the end of every season Aldershot Town Football Club holds a minute’s tribute in remembrance of all Aldershot supporters they have lost throughout the season, and this year will be no different. The club's fans are known for their loyalty and dedication, and this tribute is a testament to the strong bond between the club and its supporters. The game on Saturday is expected to be an emotional one, with fans coming together to pay their respects to the young fan who was taken too soon. And as the club looks to move forward, they will do so with the memory of the 15-year-old fan in their hearts. But for now, the focus is on paying tribute to the young lad who was part of the Aldershot Town family. So the fans will come together on Saturday to remember the teenager and show their support for his family and friends.
