The club was promoted in 2004 from the Nationwide Conference (fifth tier). They won promotion back to the Football League at the first attempt, having been relegated from what was then called the Third Division (fourth tier) in 2003.

Actor Harry Shearer immortalised Shrewsbury Town in film, as his character Derek Smalls wore the blue and amber shirt in the cult rock and roll movie Spinal Tap.

Milestones

Shrewsbury Town were elected to the Football League in 1950 following the decision to expand the league from 88 to 92 clubs.

The most successful manager to take charge of Shrewsbury Town is Graham Turner, who won the Third Division Championship in 1978-79 - his first season in charge - and took the club into the Second Division for the very first time. They remained there for ten years against all the odds, although Turner departed for Aston Villa in 1984.

Shrewsbury's Second Division life ended at the end of the 1988-89 season after ten years and they slipped into the Third Division, falling through that trap door three years later.

Shrewsbury won the new (fourth tier) Division Three championship under Fred Davies in 1993-94, and remained in Division Two (third tier) for three seasons before slipping back down again at the end of the 1996-97 season - after a drastic loss of form in the final weeks of a season which had begun with a promotion challenge on the cards. They never even gained a playoff place over the next six seasons and were finally relegated to the Conference at the end of the 2002-03 season under the management of Kevin Ratcliffe, just four months after they had achieved a famous 2-1 home win in the FA Cup over Premiership giants Everton which seemed to rule out any lingering fears of relegation.

Shrewsbury regained their league status at the first attempt in 2003-04, winning the Conference playoffs thanks to the efforts of a hardworking side managed by Jimmy Quinn. But Quinn has since made way for Gary Peters, who succeeded in preserving Shrewsbury's league status in the 2004-05 Coca-Cola League Two campaign. Towards the end of the 2005-2006 season, assistant manager Mick Wadsworth departed and was replaced by Leroy Rosenior. At the end of the season, Rosenior became manager of Brentford and John McMahon became the new assistant manager.

Rival clubs include Wrexham, Walsall, Hereford, Chester and finally AFC Telford, although Kidderminster was considered a derby until they dropped out of the Football League in 2004/2005 season.

Stadium

Their home ground is the Gay Meadow like to hang out in Shrewsbury, Shropshire, 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 moving to a new ground currently under development, provisionally called the New Meadow, which will have a 10,000 all-seater capacity with much more car parking than the current ground. The current 2006/2007 season will be the last season at the Gay Meadow.
