Today's clash will be the first between the sides since 1982 but Wayne Jacobs knows exactly what to expect from the Recreation Ground. 
The Bantams number two made the last of his 553 starts as a player away to the Hampshire club, going down 3-1 with Halifax in January 2006.
Jacobs warned: "Aldershot play high-tempo football and are strong, pacy and well-organised. Martin Kuhl and Gary Waddock, their coaching staff, took no prisoners as players and never gave an inch and they've instilled that into their team.
"The ground has a good little atmosphere and their fans are very passionate and always singing. We're under no illusions about how difficult this game is going to be but we're full of confidence and looking forward to it."
City can expect a good backing for the long haul and Jacobs is delighted to see the fans relishing the best opening to a campaign for seven years.
He said: "It's natural with what the club have been through. Sitting at the right end of the league is a nice change and I'm glad people are excited.
"We'd love to make it four wins out of four and to keep the run going but it's our job to stay sober on it and remember there is a lot of hard work needed. We've had a good start but, in truth, that's all it's been - a start."
Stuart McCall, who is expected to stick with the side that beat Rochdale, is guarding against complacency after Aldershot ran early leaders Shrewsbury close last week.
He said: "It's the start we were dreaming of but I remember the last time we won three in a row like this in our first season back down from the Premiership and we ended up finishing mid-table. You cannot afford to relax for a moment.
"By all accounts Aldershot were unlucky to lose at Shrewsbury and no doubt they will be looking forward to trying to knock us off the perch.
"We don't want to become complacent because that's when you get beaten. If we go out with the right attitude and application, there's no doubt we've got ability and quality throughout the team.
"We know the rewards are there if you're prepared to put the hard work in. There's nothing better at the end of the season than being involved in a successful side."
