Why aren't there any games against premier league teams, these games against lower league opposition are good but they don't draw the crowds or test the players against a higher level of opposition.
but why are vauxall gettin premership team and we cant ano ronnie has said he wants liverpool and eveton but we dont normaly play four home games we normaly get on decent team in past we had
osasuna
stoke
bolton
liverpool
were capable of getting better sides than shrewsbury at home
yea but he was@#$%&anyway and that proberly doesnt happen that much getting sacked in pre season. the club is complaing about losing money to me playing shrewsbury is a waste because by the time the club pays every body wages players stewards bar staff it allot of money and doubt it will be a big gate i.e like liverpool game last year
The liverpool match was rubbish im not going to another one! It really annoyed me that people where more intrested in steven gerrard warming up than the actual game itself
