Rovers away followings this season

I'll be definitely going to Shrewsbury on the train. As BB says, a lovely town with plenty of pubs. Been on Gay Meadow but not the new ground. Train wise, it's Preston to Crewe then change for Shrewsbury another 30 mins away.

I didn't realise it was that quick from Crewe. I may go by train or even make a weekend of it. Must have a look for a pub with rooms.

Don't most towns have plenty of pubs even with all the closure rates?

I would imagine they do but those in Shrewsbury look to be quite nice and not the sort where you may think, bloody hell, I'm not going in there.

Maybe a few have had their decor replaced since the 70's unlike most elsewhere. Typically there's 2 types of pubs...shabby or pretentious. Sounds like the latter applies there mostly.

Not sure where you're going with this. Shrewsbury is a historic market town with an attractive town centre and several black and white timbered buildings amidst the curving River Severn. The point I am trying to make is that it's a pleasant sort of place, there are good pubs as well as eateries. It's the sort of place that would make an ideal day out watching the Rovers.

Last time I went in there, it was a Dingle running it. Was a few years ago, though.[/QUOTE]

'Sweaty'. aka Mr Memory. I might be wrong but imo when his Dad was frying and he was waiting on was when it was at it's best. People drove there from miles around.

Bad memories of gay meadow ..the game and too much boddies

Some older fans will have worse memories than anyone of the place. Early 70's.
