First time fan guide
Shrewsbury Town Football Club was formed in 1886 and has been a cornerstone of the Shropshire community ever since. In 2007 the club moved to The Croud Meadow, an all seater stadium, built just to the south of the picturesque town of Shrewsbury.
Accessed by Oteley Road the football ground is within easy access of the A5 and just a 30 minute walk from Shrewsbury Town Centre.
The purpose-built stadium has a capacity of 9,875 across four stands. These include the Rybrook BMW West Stand (3,317 seats), the Roland Wycherley East Stand (2,741 seats), the Salop Leisure South Stand (1,400 seats/555 safe standing) and the DMOS People North Stand (1796 seats for Away Supporters).
The Roland Wycherley Stand also includes 8 executive boxes, comfy seats for Sovereign Club members and sponsors and a family stand for the younger generation.
The Salop Leisure Stand includes a Safe Standing section of 555 spaces. This was opened in 2018 and was the first of its kind in England or Wales.
