salop wanderer Posted May 18, 2013 Posted May 18, 2013 Nah if I was going to go all that way Id have to tick the ground off my list too. Apparently a drummer enhances the atmosphere there, I bet it doesn't. No drummer at Town - banned on Health & Safety grounds (I'm not joking!) The ground itself is about 2 miles from the station so not all that far but there's a half mile walk to the pubs from the Greenhous Meadow. Brooklands or Charles Darwin. I'd say make a night of it as the town of Shrewsbury is lovely. The stadium itself is decent enough but nowt special. That said, worth going for the cottage pies are home baked and bloody lovely. See you there (I've only missed two home games in six seasons there so any chance to catch the Whites is fine by me). Quote
bolton va va Posted May 18, 2013 Posted May 18, 2013 (edited) The last time we went to Shrewsbury, Bolton fans weren't welcome in some pubs but we found one called the Three Fishes, in Fish St (i think ), it was ace (i think ) . Shrewsbury is a nice place though. It seems there's a beer festival with live bands on in Shrewsbury, same day as our friendly !! http://www.anchorfrankwell.co.uk/Events.html Edited May 18, 2013 by bolton va va Quote

bolton va va Posted May 19, 2013 Posted May 19, 2013 thats 2012 Oops ...maybe an annual event ? Anyway, new ground in a nice town could still be a good day out. Quote
tomski Posted May 19, 2013 Posted May 19, 2013 Anyone in for fcum I was talking to a fcum last night? I still don't understand what they are all about? Quote
salop wanderer Posted May 19, 2013 Posted May 19, 2013 one more thing about Shrewsbury - and in particular, pre-season games - fans repeatedly give these a miss due to high ticket prices (usually a tenner). So, I would guesstimate around 1500 home fans at best for this one. In the past, West Brom, Wolves, Birmingham & Stoke have all been well represented. I think Blackpool brought about 200 a few seasons ago. Quote
Gloucesterwhite Posted May 31, 2013 Posted May 31, 2013 Shrewsbury's good for me - nearest one to Gloucester. Quote

salop wanderer Posted June 2, 2013 Posted June 2, 2013 No stadium parking (permits only). However, I think the Brooklands pub allows car parking on a basis not disimilar to the Beehive where you get your parking back on a pint/food. Also, the Charles Darwin - a similar walk but right out of the stadium, not left - wouldn't be exactly rammed for a friendly and they've a decent car park. I am willing to throw out my permit to the highest bidder mind (about 50 yards tops from players entrance) Quote
