    With an almost 100% fit squad to chose from, this is a fixture we need to be winning to have a chance of promotion this season.

    For those who haven’t been there before, it’s a decent taxi ride from Shrewsbury station, and definitely not walkable.

    For any malign forces looking in , I’ll be at the game. I am 5’2, aged 58 but look about 90, and dressed like an Action Man. I’ll be wearing Helicopter Pilot in the away end on Saturday.

    I'm looking forward to seeing Ivor, he's only got a 30 miles trip to do.

    It'll be good to catch up.

    We need to be getting these bread & butter wins over the line.
    Rotherham should have been three points. Chuks rescued one.
    Most teams will drop points they should have taken. But not many times in the case of top 6 contenders.

    An away win would be making a statement, and the travelling fans deserve to see it.

    But how do we know you’re actually going? I think you should send a photograph of yourself at the ground.

    Loads do the aways on CL so they're excluded here.
    Comparing similar active posters here and with the apologists it will be interesting to who goes tomorrow. I'm assuming Ridiculous and Mundane will be studying XG, Bexley will be in Spain so that leaves the shelf stacker as the sole representative.
    I'm assuming he's going as it's only an hour away.

    A very pleasant and quick 57 min journey for anyone travelling from the capital of North Wales to Shrewsbury tomorrow.

    I wonder if Miles Leaburn might be on the bench tomorrow.

    A game we need to win today if we are serious about top 6. No ifs or buts.
