Reluctantly for work I've got to spend the next couple of nights in Shrewsbury.

Now, I'm working doing filming etc for the next couple.of days. But anyone know where might be a nice place to eat in the centre?

The Armoury is very nice. Right on the river.

Why would you go to Shrewsbury reluctantly 🤷

Because from east Kent it's fecking miles away and I'm super busy at the moment at work.

But it's a lovely town I have to say, super friendly people as well.

If you like burgers, I remember Beefy Boys being pretty good from the last time we played Shrewsbury.

That sounds like one if the bars that @gonzofrequents, in Blackpool

I’m flattered that you found the time to confer with me. Unfortunately, I’ll be busy today out on the moors. 👍

Me and Ross got chased through Shrewsbury by the "English Border Force" before a Bolton game when we were about 12. 

I've never liked them since! 😂

You must look like a Daffodilian leek sucker?

Maybe - but I think it was the Wanderers bucket hat that did it. We ran into a department store and hid in the lingerie section (killing two birds with one stone as 12 year old boys). 

We sneaked out of the back about 15 minutes later and they were waiting for us. 

I think they clocked on that we weren't a battle hardened firm at this point and asked us "where all our boys are".

"I don't know" I replied in a wavering pre broken voice. 

They basically told us that it wasn't a good idea hanging around the town centre with our colours on and to head to the ground. 

Most sporting of them really as there were about 30 of them and they were mainly in their 40's. 

Obviously we could have taken them if violence had broken out and they can count themselves fortunate that I was in a forgiving mood that day 😁
