History of the Morecambe v Aldershot Town fixture

Morecambe prepare to entertain Aldershot Town at Christie Park on Tuesday evening, aiming to preserve their record of never having lost at home to the visitors. The majority of those games have been won by the Shrimps.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Christie Park was just last season, in September 2005, when they eased past their opponents in a high-scoring 5-2 thriller, in a Conference match.
