Shrewsbury Town Football Club

EDM number 692 in 1999-00, proposed by Paul Marsden on 08/05/2000.

That this House warmly congratulates Shrewsbury Town Football Club for beating the drop into the Nationwide Conference against all the odds; genuinely commiserates with Chester City Football Club who in spite of a spirited fightback in the last few weeks were relegated; praises the Blues' Chairman, Mr Roland Wycherley, the Board, the management team, the backroom staff at the Gay Meadow, the main sponsors RMW Electrical Contractors, the players and especially the fans for their pride, passion and determination to continue their fifty year history in the football league; recognises the terrific support of the local media including the Shrewsbury Chronicle, BBC Radio Shropshire, Beacon Radio and especially the Shropshire Star for their Golden Shot award and enthusiasm to motivate supporters; and believes that the football club is very important to Shrewsbury economically, socially and culturally and that a fresh start can now be made to secure a new stadium, new investment and new young talent; and looks forward to the fans' loyalty being rewarded next season with the club's promotion and a long cup run.

This motion has been signed by a total of 7 MPs.
