Shrewsbury Town Away Review 30th April 2022
Wigan fans made the trip down to Shrewsbury to the Montgomery Waters Meadow stadium, knowing that if we won the game we would be Champions of League 1. Tickets were £20 Adult and £8 for Under 19s.
Travelling down straightforward and finding the stadium was easy. We parked at the Brooklands Hotel SY3 9JT where we paid £10 for parking. From the hotel to the stadium it is a 15 minute walk. We didn't have any problems getting to the ground..
Away fans get there own bar area with a DJ and a burger van outside the stadium. It was a card only bar but the prices were reasonable.
The only downside before the game was if you needed the toilet there was only 2 portable toilets and with a few thousand travelling fans it took time. The stewards inside the stadium were nice and easy to talk to allowing us to sit anywhere we want. Again the prices for food and drink inside were a good price for a football game.
Going into the game even though the chances of not winning the league were low it was a possibility should we get beat and other teams around us have a drastic goal difference. One of the other teams around us was MK Dons who played play off hopeful Plymouth Argyle. MK Dons won this game 5-0 and the pressure was really on for Wigan to win. Thankfully a own goal from Shrewsbury player Josh Vela on the 43rd minute put Wigan 1-0 up. The second half goals from Will Keane in the 50th and 65th minute made Wigan EFL League One Champions
The ground is a compact stadium with a good atmosphere. Definitely a ground I would visit again. Coming away from the stadium it was a easy walk back to the car, little traffic and police were easy to talk to. As the result went our way, Shrewsbury away would be a solid 8/10
