Re: Pay on the day at Shrewsbury?

You can park down the far end away from the shops but it will cost you a fiver I think. You turn in as though you are going into the retail park but then go right on the roundabout just inside and continue down to the end. It is around a 15 to 20 minute walk to the ground.

Finishes 2-0. Not many clear cut chances but don't feel that 2-0 is a representative scoreline.
