Recent letters in the press about football fans have been simply shocking.
We suggest anyone who agrees with this letter posts underneath with their full name
We will then forward it to the Star and Chronicle
Please just post your name and nothing else, if you want to debate stuff do it on another thread
Thanks
"The ridiculous claims and unfair personal attacks made against people who enjoy football by SARA, Sutton Councillors and other anti-New meadow campaigners in recent weeks, months and years is unfounded and deeply hurtful.
Shrewsbury Town is the best supported football club in the nationwide conference.
Shrewsbury Town fans have been repeatedly been praised both home and away this season by police, opposing fans and club officials for their good behaviour.
Shrewsbury Town fans ensured the England vs Italy non league international was a record attendance for that level and we were praised by the FA for making it a great occasion.
Over 600 Shrewsbury Town fans have signed up to a new fans charter promoting good behaviour, and are working closely with fans of Telford United to help them develop their own scheme.
So why do half a dozen people in someone's front room in Sutton (or is it Bayston Hill?) have the right to publicly try and tarnish the reputation of many thousands of Shrewsbury residents who enjoy football?
Councillors Sandford and Nutting were at the recent international game. Would Councillor Fox argue that makes them drunken thugs throwing litter in people's gardens too?
Please stop this unfair campaign against us. Let us debate the New Meadow without resorting to petty attacks. The fans of STFC work closely with the police to ensure football is trouble free and we are doing our utmost to stamp out anti-social behaviour wherever we find it. We hate it as much as anyone.
I only wish others in this town had the decency to meet us and know us before publicly slating who we are and what we stand for.
Yours sincerely,
