Barry Davies was one of those faces that is intrinsically linked with #Salop whether you've chatted to or from the game, bought programmes and golden gambles from him, or remember his face as an ever-present down the narrows to the old Gay Meadow. True life blood of our Club. Rest in Peace, Barry 💙🧡
For all @shrewsburytown.com supporters who wish to pay their final respects tomorrow to former @shrewsburytownosc.org committee member, programme & Golden Gamble seller just at the New Meadow Barry Davies, please see the details on our website.

The new @shrewsburytown.com home kit was revealed this morning, and my goodness it's a stunner! 🤩 Lovely, pleasingly retro take on Salop's kit from 1983-1985 right down to the red piping and amber shorts! You can mail order it from today online, or pick it up from the club shop from tomorrow! 💙🧡

Today's date marks the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, Intersex-phobia and Transphobia, commemorating the WHO’s decision in 1990 to remove homosexuality from its classification of diseases. It is more important now than ever to recognise we ALL exist. We don’t need a cure.

Terribly sad news. The word is too easily banded about but he really is a true legend of the club, may he rest in peace. Our thoughts are with his family, friends and everyone who knew 'Chic'. 💙🧡
Shrewsbury Town are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Phil ‘Chic’ Bates – one of the greatest players in the club’s history.
The thoughts of everyone at the club are with Chic’s family, friends, and loved ones during this difficult time.

Today, on the 40th anniversary of the Valley Parade disaster, our thoughts are with the friends and families of the 54 Bradford fans and 2 Lincoln fans lost, and the players, staff and officials there on that awful day, including the many injured and affected.
May they be forever remembered.

Oh well, turns out they didn't keep us up, they didn't buy into the long term project on the horizon, and apparently 19th place in League Two is preferable to wherever Salop will be next year.
Think Town need to look at installing a revolving door! Who's next then?

There we go then! Very little fanfare, no details about length of contract, but welcome to the Meadow, Gareth Ainsworth and Richard Dobson.
If you manage to keep us up, We might even forget about the goal that wasn't! 😅

Proud to tick the box, but seemingly never to engage with the actual fans. February is always Football vs Homophobia month, but this post is the first we knew about this being today, and we have no idea when the designated home match is. Again. Zero comms, inclusion or involvement from the club. 🤷

This is a hugely important issue, to support the ability of trans women players to play football. We have signed the letter. Please do the same. 🏳️⚧️ ⚽️
As part of FvH’s Football v Transphobia initiative, we are asking women and non-binary people involved in #womensfootball, and their allies, to co-sign a community statement asking The FA to continue to include trans women.
