Gay Meadow had been Shrewsbury's home since 1910 before they moved into the New Meadow in 2007. The £11m stadium has seen a small upturn in fortunes on the pitch, but a big increase in fans in the stands.
Average attendance has risen 59% from 3,519 to 5,603. The team has also produced a small improvement on the pitch, with a 13 place increase from 84th to 71st. That may not sound much, but the club has gone from flirting with relegation to the National League to competing regularly in League One.
