Also i disagree with people that thought Rocky had a great and solid game , he had a good 10 minutes and then after that he was all over the place and made quite a few mistakes and one which the shrews captalised on which sent their winger on his way to cross in for their forward to have a good shot on goal and for kenny to make a great save. On crosses he didnt stay with his man, he was always wondering off out of position and the one thing that made me laugh was when it was a corner and he went with Murdock to pick up a player that Murdock already had and Murdock told him to angrily go and pick up the straying man in the box.
Great performance by all , but a special mension to Jimmy Ryan , had a great game. He just makes you get excited with what he does his fitness is top notch. I hope the Shrews are just upset with what theyve lost and the 3 points we outplayed them for last night

Also im not one of these rocky haters and think he has put some absolute cracking performances in for stanley through the years and no doubt he has the ability. But last nights game i just thought he was just crap. However i will be singing along with " Robbie Williams , Williams , Robbie Williams" at the next game and hopeing rocky will put a good performance in if he is playing. As long as he is in a red shirt then he should always get support through the good and the bad!

Any need for that comment? What have we ever done to your club?
Despite your obvious ineptitude off the pitch (900 home fans, what the hell is that about?), we can have no complaints with the result. We were out battled by an organised, physical side and looked thoroughly ordinary at times.
On a side note, I really, really hope we get promoted as I cannot cope with many more visits to your stadium. Having no roof in this day and age is unacceptable. An awful evening in all respects but best of luck for the season, apart from of course 'FcStanley', upon whom I wish a great deal of misery.

Hey, orange lets move Villa 5 miles from Shrewsbury then move Walsall 5 miles from Shrewsbury. Stick the Shrews in the Vodkat League for 44 years & decrease the size of the town. Then fire bomb the ground & reinstate them at Gay Meadow.
Then after all that you may have some comparison...... & we'll see how many home fans are at Gay Meadow with all that goin on?
BTW the noise was from the home end last night!!!

It's not what you've done to us, it's what you did for us when you released Jimmy Ryan in the summer. The post's a thank you (well I think it is ...)

In fact, given the circumstances that Willie Miller has so succinctly described, I would say that our club is anything but inept off the pitch. This is our third season in the football league on average gates of around 1,600. No other club in the country can say that.
As for, the spartan conditions on the Coppice End, don't worry, when you come next year you'll be sitting in the new away fans' stand along the cowshed side. Enjoy!

No misery over here , still smiling at the win against you last night
Im glad it was cold for you lot as why would we want to give away fans the luxury of a roof. Id rather put the money for luxury towards stanley or the players then for away fans.
Also id rather stand in the cold terrace at Stanley then sit down in your plastic ground.

Not a good loser then ! Agent Orange is illegal, probably the correct username. Let's hope we can keep going against Wycombe.

Was he on for that long?
I thought he put their defenders under a lot of pressure when we needed it. He certainly gave a good sub's performance, and was all over the pitch with quite some aggression. Noticed he was back on the near post for their corners too!

for a fairer comparison with ASFC you would also need to bring Wolves and Hereford a bit nearer Shrewsbury and WBA to within 12 miles of Shrewsbury.

Yeh, myself I'd rather go to a decent stadium with excellent facilities alongside 5/6,000 others. Your ground is one of the very few with terracing that has absolutely no character and it was a relief to escape. A feeling shared by all those I encountered on the way home too, I might add.
Hoping an group of opposition supporters (of whom you have no issue) were 'still upset' is just so pathetic its untrue. Really hope I run into you IF we ever visit your hole again.
