Hi guys. You come to us on September 15th. We are at our new ground now. Parking for cars is very poor. The ground is on the edge of town. If you can, I would urge you to come by coach, as it's much less hassle. Buses also have priority when leaving the car park. Because it's a new ground, government legislation means we can only have one car parking space for every fifteen supporters, so as it's 10,000 capacity, there are 680 spaces, (even though there is room for more), and is by permit only. People have been parking at a local retail park, but I've heard there is a new two hour rule coming in, and local streets have "no match day parking - residents only", signs. Also, the stadium is very poorly sign-posted. There have been titanic battles between the club and the local Council, with the club breaking off all ties with them. I hope I haven't put you off coming to the game! I just wanted to warn you of the perils, so you can avoid the hassle. If you go to the official Shrews website, it has details of the park and ride, should you want to use that. It's £2.00 per person. Best regards, John.
