HOST CLUB IDENTITY

The Shrews

Shrewsbury Town enters every season with a sense of history formed since 1886. Known as The Shrews and based at The Croud Meadow, the club draws matchday character from Roland Wycherley Stand and South Stand; Third Division champions (1978/79) and Conference play-off winners (2004) remain among the achievements that supporters carry forward from one generation to the next.
