Ö÷²¥´óÐã Surrey signs commentary deal with Aldershot Town Football Club

Aldershot Town will continue to be a regular fixture on Ö÷²¥´óÐã Surrey after signing a new commentary deal.

The three-year agreement with the radio station comes as the Shots prepare to build on last season's success and launch their bid to top the Football League Division Two.

Ö÷²¥´óÐã Surrey's Shots commentator Gavin Denison and resident match summariser Steve Gibbs from fans' site Shotsweb will bring listeners all the action live from all the Shots' league and cup games, both at home and away. Fans can also follow all the latest Shots news and match reports online at .

Announcing the continuation of the station's partnership with the Shots, Ö÷²¥´óÐã Surrey sports editor Tim Durrans said: "We are thrilled to be continuing our long partnership with such a key, local club in our area. In over 10 years of coverage, we've reported on the Shot's rise from the Isthmian League to the Football League, so I am delighted that Ö÷²¥´óÐã Surrey will be there to offer fans first-rate coverage of what will be a great new era for the club."

Richard Petty, general manager of Aldershot Town added: "I am delighted with the three-year contract with Ö÷²¥´óÐã Surrey. I see this as the result of the excellent relationship we have built up over a long period of time and, in particular, over the last year.

"I am a great believer in the need for a good relationship between our club and local radio as we continue to work hard on improving our role as a hub for the local community. Unlike Premier League clubs, who can look to attract support and interest across the whole country, we rely far more on local support and local radio stations offer the best form of communication to those people we want to talk to.

"Ö÷²¥´óÐã Surrey has, for many years, offered excellent commentary on our games as well as interesting and sometimes news-breaking interviews with players and management at the club. With the addition in the very near future of online commentary being available through our website and more interviews planned, I believe our relationship with Ö÷²¥´óÐã Surrey will become even more successful in the months and years to come. This three-year deal is good for both the Ö÷²¥´óÐã and for Aldershot Town and it was a pleasure to sign it."
