'''Aldershot Town Football Club''' is a professional [[association football]] club based in [[Aldershot]], Hampshire, England. The team competes in the [[National League (division)|National League]], the fifth level of the [[English football league system]].

The club was founded in the spring of 1992 after the closure of debt-ridden [[Football League Fourth Division|Fourth Division]] club [[Aldershot F.C.|Aldershot]]. Aldershot Town play at the [[Recreation Ground (Aldershot)|Recreation Ground]], which had also been the home ground of the previous club. Initially placed in the [[Isthmian League]] Third Division, Aldershot Town won the league in their debut 1992–93 season and won promotion out of the Second Division the following season. They won the First Division title in 1997–98 and the Premier Division in 2002–03 to gain a place in the [[National League (division)|Conference]]. They spent five seasons in the Conference, losing twice in the play-offs, before winning promotion into the [[English Football League|Football League]] as Conference National and [[Conference League Cup]] champions under [[Gary Waddock]]'s stewardship in 2007–08. They spent five seasons in [[EFL League Two|League Two]], reaching the play-offs in 2010, though were relegated back into non-League football and entered [[Administration (British football)|administration]] in May 2013.<ref name="bbc.co.uk">{{cite news|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/22383276|title=Aldershot Town: Relegated club goes into administration|website=BBC Sport|access-date=10 November 2014}}</ref> They reached the National League play-offs in 2017 and 2018 won the [[FA Trophy]] in 2025.

==History==
{{See also|List of Aldershot Town F.C. seasons}}

===Formation and the Isthmian years===
In March 1992, the town of Aldershot was without a football club after Aldershot F.C. became the first Football League team to fold during the football season since [[Accrington Stanley F.C. (1891)|Accrington Stanley]] in 1962. The original Aldershot club had been in the Football League since 1932 and competed in the Third and Fourth Divisions. Promotion had been achieved as recently as 1987, but relegation followed two years later and debts well into six figures had almost brought about the club's demise in the summer of 1990. Despite a rescue package allowing the original winding-up order to be rescinded, the club's debts remained high and the club became insolvent just over 18 months later.

Aldershot Town was born later the same year, and began life competing in the [[Isthmian League]] Division Three. Despite Aldershot Town playing five divisions lower than the Football League, the attendance for their first competitive fixture was higher than the old team's last home tie, with attendances that season averaging around 2,000 at a level where attendances normally averaged around 100.{{cn|date=March 2025}}

Ten successive victories were recorded under the guidance of former player [[Steve Wignall]] and Aldershot won the championship by an 18-point margin.

A further promotion and an [[FA Vase]] quarter-final placing was achieved in the [[1993–94 in English football|1993–94]] season. When Steve Wignall departed to take charge of [[Colchester United F.C.|Colchester United]] midway through the [[1994–95 in English football|1994–95]] season, former [[Nottingham Forest F.C.|Nottingham Forest]] winger [[Steve Wigley]] took over. The club finished the 1994–95 season with a run of six successive victories, but missed out on promotion by [[goal difference]]. After narrowly missing out during the next two seasons Wigley left in July 1997 to become Youth Development Officer at Nottingham Forest. He was replaced by George Borg, another former Aldershot FC player.

Attendances continued to rise during this period and the final fixture of the [[1997–98 in English football|1997–98]] Isthmian League First Division championship-winning season, at home to [[Berkhamsted Town F.C.|Berkhamsted Town]], attracted 4,289 fans to the Recreation Ground&nbsp;– a league record.{{cn|date=March 2025}}

The success under Borg continued with an [[Isthmian League]] Cup, two [[Hampshire Senior Cup]]s and a runners-up spot in the [[Isthmian League]] Premier Division.

The club's reserves were reinstated in [[2000–01 in English football|2000–01]] and entered the Suburban League. The FA Cup in 2000–01 saw Aldershot take on league opposition at The Recreation Ground for the first time since reforming, when [[Brighton & Hove Albion F.C.|Brighton & Hove Albion]] visited for a 1st Round tie in November and a record attendance of 7,500 saw the league team win. In the following season's FA Cup Aldershot held [[Bristol Rovers F.C.|Bristol Rovers]] to a home draw in the First Round, but again missed out on the Second Round after losing the replay in Bristol.{{cn|date=March 2025}}

George Borg resigned as manager in November 2001 after pressure from supporters and was replaced by Terry Brown. He won his first game in charge beating [[Newport IOW F.C.|Newport IOW]] 1–0 in the Hampshire Senior Cup Semi-final Second Leg, taking The Shots on to win the final against [[Havant & Waterlooville F.C.|Havant & Waterlooville]]. In Brown's first full season in charge he overhauled the squad, and by mid-November the Shots were top of the table, a position they did not relinquish for the remainder of the season, winning promotion to the [[Football Conference]]. After just 11 years, four promotions had now been achieved and just one more promotion was required for league football to return to Aldershot.

The club also retained the Hampshire Senior Cup with a 2–1 win over [[Bashley F.C.|Bashley]].

===Conference years===
[[File:Terry Brown, Margate FC manager, January 2015.jpg|thumb|upright|[[Terry Brown (football manager)|Terry Brown]] took over as manager in March 2002.]]
A crowd of 3,680 saw Aldershot's first game in the Conference, a 2–1 win over Accrington Stanley. The club went on to stay in the play-off positions in the league table for all but 3 days of the season. The Shots equalled their best ever run in the FA Cup, reaching the 2nd Round and losing 1–0 to [[Colchester United F.C.|Colchester United]] at [[Layer Road]]. The club reached their first [[FA Trophy]] semi-final, losing to eventual winners [[Hednesford Town F.C.|Hednesford Town]] and the average attendance for league matches at The Rec ended on a record high of 3,303.

A 1–1 draw against [[Tamworth F.C.|Tamworth]] on the last day of the season carried the Shots into the play-offs for a place in the Football League. Over two legs the Shots held their own against favourites [[Hereford United F.C.|Hereford United]], drawing 1–1 at The Rec and 0–0 at [[Edgar Street]]. Extra time finished without any further score and the tie was concluded on penalties with the Shots winning 4–2. The 2004 Conference play-off Final against [[Shrewsbury Town F.C.|Shrewsbury Town]] finished 1–1 after extra time. Shrewsbury returned to the league with a 3–0 win in the penalty shoot-out.

In May 2004 the club officers made the decision to convert Aldershot Town to full-time professional status from the following July. In [[2004–05 in English football|2004–05]] the Shots once again equalled their best ever run in the FA Cup as they reached the 2nd Round proper, where they lost 5–1 to [[Hartlepool United F.C.|Hartlepool United]]. After a slow start in the league, Aldershot improved their form and reached the play-offs after beating [[Scarborough F.C.|Scarborough]] in the last game of the season. The Shots won the first leg against [[Carlisle United F.C.|Carlisle United]] 1–0 at home, but lost the away leg 2–1, giving a 2–2 aggregate score. Extra time could not separate the sides and the tie went to penalties, with Carlisle winning the shootout.

The next two seasons were less successful for Aldershot. [[2005–06 in English football|2005–06]] saw the team suffer numerous injuries, and they struggled to 13th in the table. The team made it to the 2nd round of the FA Cup, losing 1–0 at home to [[Scunthorpe United F.C.|Scunthorpe United]]. In the 2006–07 season the club finished 9th in the reformed 24 club [[Conference Premier]]. Terry Brown resigned, citing the poor health of his wife as the primary reason.{{citation needed|date=August 2009}} [[Martin Kuhl]] took over as caretaker manager. They reached the 3rd round of the FA Cup for the first time, losing 4–2 at [[Bloomfield Road]] to [[Blackpool F.C.|Blackpool]]

====Promotion to the Football League====
In May 2007 [[Gary Waddock]] was appointed the new manager, with Martin Kuhl reverting to his coaching position. The Shots started the season strongly, losing few games before the turn of the year. [[Jonny Dixon]] was sold to Brighton and Hove Albion in the January Transfer window for a then club record of £56,000.<ref>{{cite news | url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/b/brighton/7217266.stm| title=Brighton complete deal for Dixon | website=[[BBC Sport]] | access-date=31 January 2008 | date=31 January 2008| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20080203200443/http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/b/brighton/7217266.stm| archive-date= 3 February 2008 | url-status= live}}</ref> The Shots finished top of the [[Conference Premier]] with a record 101 points, and were promoted to the Football League, for the first time since the club was reformed<ref>{{cite news | url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/eng_conf/7344140.stm | title=Exeter 1–1 Aldershot | website=[[BBC Sport]] | access-date=15 April 2008 | date=15 April 2008| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20080420085142/http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_conf/7344140.stm| archive-date= 20 April 2008 | url-status= live}}</ref> ending the season on an 18-match undefeated run.

Aldershot also made it to the [[Conference League Cup]] Final after a 4–3 penalty shoot out victory over near neighbours [[Woking F.C.|Woking]] in the semi-final. The final, played at the Recreation Ground on 3 April, was against [[Rushden & Diamonds F.C.|Rushden & Diamonds]]. With the scores 1–1 at full-time, then 3–3 after extra time, Aldershot won 4–3 on penalties.<ref>{{cite news | url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/eng_conf/6903365.stm | title=Aldershot Town win Setanta Shield | website=[[BBC Sport]] | access-date=4 April 2008 | date=4 April 2008| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20080219022248/http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_conf/6903365.stm| archive-date= 19 February 2008 | url-status= live}}</ref>

===Football League===
Sixteen years after the demise of Aldershot F.C., the town of Aldershot had a Football League team again. The club retained much of the [[2007–08 in English football|2007–08]] promotion winning team, and added several signings, both permanent and on loan. Gary Waddock and Martin Kuhl also committed their futures to the club by signing new three-year contracts.<ref>{{cite news | url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/a/aldershot/7471799.stm| title=Waddock signs new Aldershot deal  | website=[[BBC Sport]] | access-date=24 June 2008 | date=24 June 2008}}</ref> [[Joel Grant]] was sold to [[Crewe Alexandra]] for £130,000, a club record.<ref name="autogenerated1">{{cite news | url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/c/crewe_alexandra/7473894.stm| title=Crewe sign Aldershot winger Grant | website=[[BBC Sport]] | access-date=25 June 2008 | date=25 June 2008}}</ref> On the opening day of the 2008–09 season, Aldershot Town won their first league game on their return to the Football League at Accrington Stanley 1–0.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.theshots.co.uk/newspage.ink?nid=30107&newstype=m&matchid=8254 |title=Accrington Stanley 0–1 Aldershot Town |publisher=theshots.co.uk |access-date=9 August 2008 }}{{dead link|date=June 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> This was followed four days later by the club's first ever [[EFL Cup]] game, against [[Coventry City F.C.|Coventry City]] at the [[Ricoh Arena]], which the Shots lost 3–1.

Two months into the [[2009–10 Aldershot Town F.C. season|2009–10]] season, manager Gary Waddock and assistant [[Martin Kuhl]] accepted offers to join [[Wycombe Wanderers F.C.|Wycombe Wanderers]]. [[Kevin Dillon (English footballer)|Kevin Dillon]], the former first-team coach of [[Reading F.C.|Reading]], was appointed as Waddock's permanent successor in November 2009.<ref>{{cite news | url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/a/aldershot/8348697.stm| title=Dillon named as Aldershot manager | website=[[BBC Sport]] | access-date=9 November 2009 | date=9 November 2009| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20091110130605/http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/a/aldershot/8348697.stm| archive-date= 10 November 2009 | url-status= live}}</ref> Under the new management team Aldershot finished the season in sixth place,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.football-league.co.uk/page/DivisionalLeagueTable/0,,10794~200926,00.html|title=League Tables|publisher=[[The Football League]]|access-date=21 May 2010|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130730170034/http://www.football-league.co.uk/page/DivisionalLeagueTable/0,,10794~200926,00.html|archive-date=30 July 2013}}</ref> qualifying them for the play-offs,<ref>{{cite news|url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/eng_div_3/8630051.stm|title=Aldershot 3&nbsp;– 1 Lincoln City|date=1 May 2010|website=BBC Sport|access-date=21 May 2010| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20100504025117/http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_div_3/8630051.stm| archive-date= 4 May 2010 | url-status= live}}</ref> where they lost 3–0 on aggregate to [[Rotherham United F.C.|Rotherham United]].<ref>{{cite news|url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/eng_div_3/8682172.stm|title=Rotherham 2&nbsp;– 0 Aldershot (agg 3&nbsp;– 0)|website=BBC Sport|date=19 May 2010|access-date=21 May 2010| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20100522124434/http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_div_3/8682172.stm| archive-date= 22 May 2010 | url-status= live}}</ref>

In the summer 2012, a major shareholder suffered a major [[stroke]], debilitating him and creating a financial insecurity that would prove dangerous come the following year. In May 2013, Aldershot Town announced that they were in financial difficulties,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.theshots.co.uk/news/article/130430statement-801990.aspx|title=News – Aldershot Town FC|date=16 July 2014 |publisher=Theshots.co.uk|access-date=10 November 2014}}</ref> with players' wages going unpaid.<ref name="ReferenceA">{{cite news|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/22368957|title=Aldershot Town: Relegated club fails to pay players for April|website=BBC Sport|access-date=10 November 2014}}</ref> The Chief Executive, Andrew Mills, announced his resignation saying that there was no evidence that the major shareholder Kris Machala had the ability to fund the club.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.theshots.co.uk/news/article/130501chiefexecutive-802876.aspx|title=News – Aldershot Town FC|date=16 July 2014 |publisher=Theshots.co.uk|access-date=10 November 2014}}</ref> Director Tony Knights admitted that the club has been "haemorrhaging money".<ref name="ReferenceA" /> On 2 May 2013, just five days after their relegation from the Football League, Aldershot Town officially entered administration.<ref name="bbc.co.uk" /> The club fell with debts of over £1&nbsp;million.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.theshots.co.uk/news/article/administratorspressconference-807037.aspx|title=News – Aldershot Town FC|date=16 July 2014 |publisher=Theshots.co.uk|access-date=10 November 2014}}</ref>

On 1 August 2013, Aldershot Town confirmed the takeover of the club by a consortium led by former chairman Shahid Azeem.

==Stadium==
{{Main|Recreation Ground (Aldershot)}}
Aldershot Town play their home games at [[Recreation Ground (Aldershot)|The Recreation Ground]], which has a capacity of 7,100. The stadium was previously the home of Aldershot F.C. The stadium's current sponsor is EBB Paper, therefore the ground is advertly known as The EBB Stadium at The Recreation Ground, however is affectionately known as 'The Rec'.

In March 2018, Aldershot Town presented proposals for the redevelopment of the EBB Stadium to [[Rushmoor|Rushmoor Borough Council]] which would see the potential development of a new stadium, containing both seating and standing areas, that will give the club a 'long-term home from which to build our ambitions on the pitch'.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.theshots.co.uk/ebb-redevelopment-images/|title=EBB Stadium Redevelopment|publisher=theshots.co.uk|access-date=27 March 2018|archive-date=22 May 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180522111610/https://www.theshots.co.uk/ebb-redevelopment-images/|url-status=dead}}</ref>

==Records and statistics==
===Appearances and goals===
{{unreferenced section|date=July 2021}}
Jason Chewins holds the record for the most number of appearances for the club, playing 489 times between August 1994 and May 2004. This led to the left-back being the first and, to date, only player to receive a [[testimonial match]], which was played against [[Portsmouth F.C.|Portsmouth]] in July 2004.

Before Chewins, the record was held by Mark Butler, who joined the club at its inception in 1992. Butler played 303 times between August 1992 and May 1998, also holding the all-time goal scoring record by netting 155 times, a record he still currently holds. Former goalkeeper [[Nikki Bull]] made his 300th appearance for the Shots in November 2008 and eventually made 313 appearances before moving to [[Brentford F.C.|Brentford]] in July 2009. Five others have played more than 200 times for the club, including Stuart Udal, whose cousin [[Shaun Udal|Shaun]] was an [[England cricket team|England]] international cricketer. Winger Jimmy Sugrue has also reached the landmark. More recently, three members of the 2007–08 title winning squad, namely [[Anthony Charles]], [[Anthony Straker]] and [[Danny Hylton]] reached the landmark.

Gary Abbott is, apart from Butler, the only Shots player to have ever scored over 100 goals for the club. Over the course of three seasons, between August 1998 and May 2001, he scored 120 goals.
