I don't know if this is useful or not. I already posted the idea on the original shrewsTRUST page- but here goes. I have it on VERY good authority that supporting Shrewsbury Town has become "fashionable" again with some local schools. This is from someone whose daughter attends a school in Shrewsbury. When I last went to the Meadow- beginning of this month, Leah and I were followed from the bus-station to the Meadow by a little group of young people from the Grove School, in Market Drayton. They'd only been to one match before and, as someone's dad had dropped them off, they were not sure of the way from the bus station. I know I'm taking a long time to get to the point and living up to my stereotype! ![:-[](http://www.mysmiley.net/imgs/smile/ashamed/ashamed0002.gif) BUT- The point is- this is surely the time to forge links with schools. There may be teachers in local schools who may want to get on board and help in some way. For instance, Leah's French teacher, Mr Pollard, is a passionate supporter - and may be glad to foster the students' interest in Town. I think the players themselves are a big draw. Photos of the players, posters will always go down well. If the wristbands go down well, for instance, it may be worth widening the "sales pitch" and selling them in other schools throughout Shropshire. It's a bit difficult for me to get to any meetings - but I do have a contact with Sheila (ssshrew) whom I regularly meet over an all-day breakfast.
