Shrewsbury Town F.C.
Shrewsbury Town F.C. are an English football team currently playing in Football League Two after being promoted in 2004 from the Nationwide Conference. They had been in the Conference for just one year, having been relegated from what was then called the Third Division in 2003.
Shrewsbury were relegated after having gained international attention early in 2003, when they eliminated Everton from the F.A. Cup at home.
Their home ground is the Gay Meadow in Shrewsbury, one of the most picturesque grounds in the football league, on the banks of the River Severn and near to the historic town centre. The club are planning on moving to a new ground, called the New Meadow , which will have a 10'000 all seater stadium and much more car parking than the current ground. The move is expected to be made once the new grounds and stadium are built.
