Footymad preview History of the Aldershot Town v Swindon Town fixture

Aldershot Town are ready to welcome Swindon Town to Recreation Ground on Tuesday evening, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 10 of the 29 previous games, with the Shots winning just 9.

The previous match played between the two at Recreation Ground was more than three years back, in September 2008, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2-2 draw in a (Associate Members) match.
