Aldershot Town owner Deane Wood has confirmed the club is £1m in debt but reassured fans the club is safe. Wood has put in £200,000 to keep the wolves away from the door and plans to restructure the club. The club was £2m in debt but Wood has wiped a load of his debt into shares. Wood has also taken over as chairman, replacing Shahid Azeem, and has written off his entire loan to the club. Wood is positive about the future and wants to get the club back on track. He plans to pay off debts and then invest in the first team. Wood has also urged fans to help support the club in any way they can. He wants fans to be patient and remember that it's not his club, it's Aldershot Town. Wood is an Aldershot boy and wants to be big-headed and proud. He wants to make the club a success and bring in more fans and sponsors. Wood has also talked about the club's plans to redevelop the EBB Stadium and is seeking outside business partners for the project. On the pitch, the Shots are fighting relegation, currently 19th, and only clear of the relegation zone on goal difference. New manager John Coleman replaced Tommy Widdrington in October and after losing his first six matches in charge, they are back out of the bottom four. Wood wants to survive this year, get everything in place, and then hopes crowds will get better, get more to sponsor and advertise. He wants to be in the play-offs and go up. If they can finish middle of the table, John will have done a good job.
