This is Crewe's first game against the new named Aldershot after the team originally went out of business in 1992 after they filed for bankruptcy. The new Aldershot Town was formed by the supporters of the club and slowly climed up the leagues as they rose like a phoenix from the flames.
Crewe last played against Aldershot in a league match in 1987 where that day the Shots beat Crewe 3-1 at Gresty Road, that season Aldershot did the double with a 1-0 win at the Recreation Ground.
This season Aldershot sit in 9th place in the league and are in their second season in League Two after they finished 15th in League Two last season.

Aldershot Town Team News:-
Shots boss Gary Waddock has delved into the loan market by signing Spurs midfielder Dean Perrett on loand and the England U-19 goes straight into the squad that faces Crewe. Waddock has a headache in defence as injuries hamper the Shots preperation for the trip to Crewe.
Defender Andy Sandell is out with an ankle injury which was picked up in the 1-1 draw to Port Vale, while Shots captain Adam Hinshelwood is out with a knee injury which he picked up the other week in the 2-2 draw against Hereford.
Waddock also has a major doubt with goalkeeper Mikhael Jaimez-Ruiz picking up a knock in training on Thursday so if he fails a fitness test youngster Clark Masters will be on standby to make his full debut.
Although Waddock does look to have Ben Herd back after the player came through training. Former Crewe player Anthony Charles is the only first choice defender availiable and will make up a patched up defence with Dave Winfield, CHris Blackburn and Anthony Straker while another former Crewe striker John Grant will look to come back and haunt his former club.
