history
In 1950 the club was elected to the highest English league, the Football League , where it benefited from the increase in the first four leagues from 88 to 92 professional teams.
After promotion to the third division, the third division, you could win this in 1979 and were thus entitled to promotion to the second division. After ten years, he was relegated back to the Third Division in 1989, and only in 1994 was promoted again. After relegation in 1997, the crash in non-league football followed until 2003, but the next year Shrewsbury managed to win the playoffs for promotion to the fourth division, the current Football League Two .
The new stadium, the nearly 10,000-seat Montgomery Waters Meadow , opened in July 2007. It replaced the 1910 Gay Meadow .
