As much as I say this through gritted teeth, Shrewsburys new ground has worked wonders for them, it has a good set up around it, is easy enough to get to, though i am sure we could make ours look a lot better
I've not got a clue how much building a new stadium holding up to 20,000 would cost including buying the land.

It just feels more cost effective to develop the Racecourse especially as we are being handed a new 5,000 seater Kop stand plus we protect and enhance the oldest international stadium in the world.
