League 2: Shrewsbury Town vs Torquay United

[AlexGulls]

Anyone else going up by train?

I know that you go past the stadium on the train and think ' oh must be getting off soon...' only to stay on the train for another 5-8 minutes, etc.

Just wondering how people get to the ground? Im guessing Taxi. In which case any fellow Gulls wanna share a cab to keep costs down?

My train gets in at Shrewsbury around 11:50am

I believe Shrewsbury run buses from the train station to the ground before and after the game..

Shrewsbury train station is around two miles away from the stadium. So it should take around 40 minutes to walk. Otherwise you can grab a taxi up to the ground, or take a bus from the town centre bus station (service numbers 8, 16, 23, 25 & 544/546 all stop near to the stadium). There are also plans to introduce a dedicated bus service on matchdays. Shrewsbury train station is served by trains from Birmingham New Street, Manchester Piccadilly, Crewe and Newport (Gwent).

Alternatively you can use the Park & Ride scheme operated by the Club. This costs £2 per person and commences at 12.30pm on Saturdays & 5.30pm for evening matches. It operates from Shire Hall (but not the nearby Meole Brace which is a park & ride for the town centre). It is located off the A5 (just take the A5064 towards the town centre) and at the roundabout with Lord Hill's Column, take the 3rd exit and then first right into the car park. I have heard though of delays in getting back to you car after the match (in some cases up to 40 minutes) so bear this in mind.

From the Football Ground Guide..

The Town centre bus station is 3 to 4 minutes walk from the train station. As you come out of the station, walk straight ahead for about 50 yards, to a set of traffic lights. Cross the road and after about 100 yards, pass the Albert pub on your left. The bus station will then appear on your left. Shuttle buses run frequently to the stadium until about 2:15.

Have a safe trip, but remember we owe you one, or two, or several.

maybe 4321 or more likely 433 or 442, no keeper on bench once again

looks attack minded today whatever the formation on paper

[SteveDeckchair]

Looks like a 4-5-1/4-3-3 depending on whether we are attacking or not.

I'd be happy with a draw from this one, although with the recent number of draws, I think we need a win.

COME ON UNITED!!!
