Grant says the fixtures do not scare the Aldershot camp.

"We're positive we're more than capable of having a very good season," he added.

"But we'll do what we did last season, just go game by game. It sunk in ages ago that we're in the league again. Probably from the night we beat Torquay in March.

"I believe I belong in the Football League. I've never really been given a good run of games in the league before, but I'm determined to prove to the gaffer that I can score consistently at this level."

Speaking about goalkeeper Nikki Bull's decision not to leave, Grant added: "He's a big player for us, and it was almost like losing a member of your family when he nearly went.

"We're very chuffed he's staying. He's shown a lot of loyalty as he could have played a couple of leagues higher."
