Footymad preview History of the Shrewsbury Town v Aldershot Town fixture

Aldershot Town face a trip to Shrewsbury Town at Prostar Stadium on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Shots will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 9 and win only 2 of the 16 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Prostar Stadium was just last season, in August 2010, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1 - 1 final scoreline in a League Two match.
