Shrewsbury Town reveal major stadium upgrades for 140-year anniversary, and fans can play their part

Shrewsbury Town have announced a series of stadium improvements and fan-led initiatives as the club prepares to celebrate its 140th anniversary ahead of the 2026/27 campaign.

The plans will see several new additions introduced around New Meadow, with supporters given a direct say in how parts of the project take shape.

Shrewsbury Town make New Meadow upgrades for 2026/27 season

As part of the anniversary celebrations, the League Two outfit will install large-scale graphics around the stadium designed to showcase key moments and figures from Shrewsbury Town's history.

New corner displays will be added to each stand to improve the stadium's visual appearance and matchday atmosphere, while supporters will be invited to vote on a selection of iconic club images that will become permanent features around the ground.

The internal block signage throughout the stadium is also set for a refresh, with retro Shrewsbury Town shirts forming part of the new designs. Turnstile numbering outside the ground will also be updated.

Away from the stadium upgrades, supporters will have the opportunity to help choose two new club legends to be honoured outside the Croud Meadow alongside existing tributes to Ken Mulhearn, Arthur Rowley, Graham Turner and Alf Wood.

An open day is also planned for July 26th, with hospitality boxes transformed into mini museums celebrating different eras of the club's history.

Fans are being encouraged to contribute memorabilia, photographs and other historic items.

FGG says: A positive way to reconnect supporters with the club

After a season that brought plenty of nervous moments and came far too close to relegation for comfort, Shrewsbury supporters will be hoping 2026/27 delivers a far more positive atmosphere both on and off the pitch.

While these aren't exactly headline-grabbing redevelopment projects, they are the sort of improvements that can strengthen a club's identity and connection with its fanbase.

Giving fans a direct role in choosing the imagery and legends being celebrated feels particularly fitting for a 140th anniversary year.
