Around the grounds

New Meadow, also known as Montgomery Waters Meadow for sponsorship purposes, is
a stadium situated on the southern outskirts of Shrewsbury, Shropshire, between the
districts of Meole Brace and Sutton Farm, and close to the A5. It serves the home ground
of English football club Shrewsbury Town.
It was completed in the summer of 2007, in time for the 2007–08 English football season,
and was built to replace the Gay Meadow, Shrewsbury Town's home stadium since 1910.

The New Meadow Stadium has an all seated capacity of just under 10,000 and was only
opened in time for the start of the 2007-08. All four stands are built to the same
specification and all are quite steep allowing for fans to be close to the field of play. Being
a new stadium, leg room isn't a problem and the facilities are second to none compared
to a lot of its rival grounds at this level. All four of the stands at The New Meadow are
fully seated and covered and they stand apart from each other. The Roland Wycherley
East Stand, named after the current chairman, houses the hospitality suites, changing
rooms and the club offices and runs along the side of the pitch. Opposite it is The Assist
Group West Stand which is the biggest of the four. Behind one goal is The Salop Leisure
Stand, which is named after a local business, whilst behind the other goal is DM
Recruitment North Stand that houses the away supporters.

Visiting supporters are situated in the north stand at one end of the ground behind the
goal where up to 1,800 visitors can be catered for. The views and facilities are very good
