Staying away for work, I noticed in the info pack that the hotel owner was brought up in Shrewsbury, so I asked and he turns out to be a big Town fan.. www.downhamhall.com/Cracking dinner, good conversation... Wine was too good so I will be brief - does anyone else have other random encounters with Shrews fans abroad?
