Supporters invited to help shape latest 140th anniversary stadium project

This year marks a landmark moment in Shrewsbury Town's history as we celebrate our 140th anniversary.

Throughout the season, we have a number of exciting initiatives planned to commemorate the occasion - with our supporters at the heart of every one.

One of the biggest projects has been enhancing the look and feel of the Croud Meadow through the installation of a series of large-scale stadium graphics that celebrate the rich history of our football club.

We are delighted to have begun installing giant corner graphics in the apex of each stand, helping to strengthen the stadium's identity while creating an even more striking matchday atmosphere.

Every design was chosen by supporters through a fan vote, with the majority of the graphics now proudly in place. Fans attending our Open Day last weekend were among the first to see the new additions.

As part of the improvements, all of the block number signage throughout the Croud Meadow has also been transformed.

The previous white signs have been replaced with designs inspired by some of the most iconic shirts in Shrewsbury Town's history, bringing another touch of the club's heritage to the stadium.

But there's more to come.

The next phase of our anniversary project will see another Shrewsbury Town legend honoured with a permanent banner outside the Croud Meadow.

Current club greats Graham Turner, Alf Wood, Ken Mulhearn and Arthur Rowley are already immortalised outside the stadium, and now supporters have the chance to decide who will join them.

The nominees are:

Mickey Brown (1986-91, 1992-94, 1996-2001)

Jake King (Player: 1971-82 | Manager: 1997-99)

Shaun Whalley (2015-2022)

Colin Robinson (1982-88)

Dean Spink (1990-97, 1999)

Tommy Lynch (1990-96)

Bernard McNally (1980-89)

Chic Bates (Player: 1974-77 & 1980-86 | Manager: 1984-87, 1999 & 2004)

Paul Edwards (1992-2001)

Supporters can cast their vote now in the poll below, with the winning legend set to take pride of place outside the Croud Meadow.

None of these stadium enhancements would have been possible without the incredible generosity of the Super Blues and the Official Supporters Club, who have fully funded the projects.

Everyone at Shrewsbury Town would like to place on record our sincere thanks to both groups for their outstanding support as we celebrate 140 years of our football club.
