The fans of Aldershot FC suffered heartache 16 years ago when their team was relegated from the Football League, unable to fulfil its fixtures.Since then the Club has reformed as Aldershot Town and they have made their way back up through the Leagues into the Blue Square Premier.And on Tuesday evening The Shots cemented their return to the Football League as BSP Champions by taking an away point from Exeter City.

No one can argue about the title credentials of the Hampshire side.They have won 31 of their 43 Blue Square games, amassing 98 points in the process with 3 games to go and only a fool would bet against them breaking the 100 point mark.

Success has been achieved with ex Queens Park Rangers player Gary Waddock in charge and he can be justifiably proud of his first year in charge since taking over from Terry Brown.A settled side has helped and recent statistics show The Shots have used the fewest number of players in this League.

So, The Shaymen could not have tougher opponents in what is another vital fixture.A very harsh defeat at Burton Albion on Tuesday, coupled with other results, saw Chris Wilder's men return to the bottom four but his side have shown tremendous character and fighting spirit in recent fixtures and Aldershot will know they have been in a game come 4.50pm on Saturday.

Town will feel they are due a change in fortunes against The Shots.Although they won the home game 2 v 0 last season with goals from Andy Campbell and Danny Forrest they have been on the end of successive 90th minute 1 v 0 defeats at the Recreation Ground after dominating their hosts.

Ex Shayman John Grant is in a rich vein of scoring form and has found the back of the net 24 times in 38 games this season.Town have their own goal machine Jon Shaw and have other attacking options for this game in Andy Campbell, Danny Forrest and Darryn Stamp who netted a late consolation goal at the Pirelli Stadium in midweek.

At the back Simon Ainge is suspended following his red card at Burton which could see a recall for Santos Gaia but whatever the line up Chris Wilder selects he knows his team and in for a difficult game.But, at the same time he knows his troops are more than capable of taking all three points.
