1) Its weird how Judy's photo looked as if it has been taken after the game - she looks so cross!
2) I give up - who is the kid with Carl Griffiths?
3) Superb inch high letters in the centrefold "Matthew Fitzpatrick". Ian Fitzpatrick now knows he is the forgotten man at the Gay Meadow. Mind you Ian FitzMGSportswear would have been funnier.
4) For all of you who are admiring the amber away shirt design - don't forget it rules out an amber and blue stripe home top for a further three seasons.

So what were the away kits like?

There a white one - with navy blue and amber panels on the arms and the side of the body. Think Luton Town.
There's an amber one with royal blue collar and trim - think the white one from a couple of years back.
And there is a sort of 70's red Birmingham City away with a broad white vertical stripe down the middle. Or reverse Ajax if you like.

out of over 250 designs we came up with a white shirt that looks like the wolfs head the wolves had a couple of years ago another red one(we are not wrexham) and the winner,an amber one-shame it will stop a return to stripes,but being an old git i'll settle for amber shorts.

I thought it was an excellent programme Ian, this is the first season i've bought a programme at every home game, cos i think with the content is worth reading and of intrest to everyone of all ages, Other than Dagemhams for price and content Shrewsbury is going to win the award of best programme for this league. PS thanks for the plug page 38 afros awaydays and an excellent article to from our young shrewster

Also, you got Joe Hart and Adam Smith's pictures mixed up The white shirt does look very similar to a early 1990's Luton Town strip, Sean has a point. The red shirt is ok but I'm sorry Sean, it looks too much like a Leyton Orient shirt to me! The amber shirt may look like ala Mansfield, but it is based on real STFC colours, has a classy simple design and think the players would look well good in amber shirts, shorts and socks.

As an aside. I was talking to Carl Griffiths' father this week- it looks like he may well be giving up the game professionally at the end of the season. He's 32 (I didn't realise he had been around for so long), and is suffering from a leg injury. A shame - still one of the best (if not the best) Town strikers in recent years in my opinion.

In my time watching the Town (last 30 odd years) Griffiths is only rivalled by McGinlay as the best striker i've seen at the club

The STFC program is excellent, have every league home game so far. plenty of stuff there to keep me amused at half time. I think the fixtures are wrong in todays though, as it shows home games when we've already played them at GM? ps todays performance was feckin s**te.

Sean; I think you are well out of order taking a few cheap shots at the programme.
I did not go to yesterdays game due to work but my son attended and I read it last night.
Go to wherever you keep your old programmes and just look at last seasons effort for 20p more.
Now look at what you get this season.
Ade Plimmer and Ian Jones(A large scotch) write some cracking articals. Tinno and Rach (Deano I assume now) always write relevent stuff. Ant gives a good account of recent games. Stuart Dunns page is 1st class. Meadow Memories with Mike Jones and Shakey, good stuff, remember the Tony Kelly piece earlier in the season. From the pressbox, or in yesterdays case, from the touchline with Matt Ashton. I shall spend more time looking at the pictures in my morning paper now I now they are taken by a Town fan. Chris Smiths old programme page, brilliant. Chris Wynne on the away supporters. The sections that include the supporters, beat the pro, fans on tour and fan of the week, people you know, people that stand or sit by you. New this week, Afro on tour with the Shrews, absolute top draw, from the young man, backed up with Duncans great photos. What about the blue and amber page, come on Sean why not give it a go, you always make good points on this board, if a little negative in my opinion. You have seen loads of matches at the Meadow so get tapping on that keyboard. If my 16 year old son can do one I am sure alot of other users can.
It is easy to poke fun but much harder to contribute.
Last week against Morecambe some of the numbers in the programme did not match the players. I could have made fun of that on here but chose not to.
Well done Ian Kevin Andy Colin and the rest of the people that make the Shrewsbury Town programme a MUST on match day. Keep up the good work.

The programme is a mark up on anything else in this division by quite a way. Dagenham's won programme of the year last year but it is not a patch on the Town's, and it costs 50p more.
Keep up the good work Whitters, although it would be improved further if it wasn't for the silly mistakes.

harmerhill - we're any of comments wrong?
I don't think so.
Therefore they are not cheap. The problem with Ian is that he is too quick to disperse the toys on the nursery floor. At the least negative comment. Not unlike Mr Wycherley. It must be contagious.
We do a centre page feature on one of our players and get his name wrong in one inch high purple letters. I'm sorry but that is totally crap.

Fair comment Sean, but how much is Ians fault, how much is the printers (TAWS?) fault.

It must be contagious. ah me and my toys, excellent put down i'm so hurt what i was saying sean is you go straight in there going 'oh, oh, look at me i'm dead clever i've found these mistake', who really cares? if you'd gone, another nice programme ian but can you do anything about the silly mistakes? then i'd be fine with it. it's not as if no one was going to notice the fitz one, it's was in inch high letters!!! fitz's full name is ian matthew, the printers dropped the ian and i missed it on the proofs. the pictures of adam and joe were transposed by the printers, they had problems so never got a proof back, the look at page 53 was my mistake and not something that proof reading would pick up... anymore you want explaining?

And that reply Ian is exactly the problem. People are not supposed to be negative about the team performance. People are not supposed to post rumours. And now any criticism of the programme is supposed to be prefixed by a long list of what is good about it. No! The real world doesn't work like that Ian. Ian Fitzpatrick is having a torrid time at this football club. The interview on the official website and the profile in the centre pages makes that perfectly clear. And we cannot even get the poor sod's name right. I could only feel for the bloke. And making a joke about it is putting a brave face on it. I think of the number of times we have a smirk about programmes at away games getting profiles and names wrong of our players, but I suppose there is an element of mitigation. Inch high purple letters Matthew, I mean Ian. You need to look at your proof-reading systems. If you want any help with that I'll offer mine. In terms of the written content - funnily enough I don't read it until after the game. And generally its good. Although again would benefit from proof-reading. Anyway it was the comparison with Roland Wycherley that was meant to hurt

imo i think the programme is the best read we have had for years but if we used a local printing firm instead of giving money to a firm that in turn sponsors telford we would have time to proof read it properly.the current firm we use had their works do the night before a match and then we didnt get them till the second half.

Well AfroShrew you may not think that basic errors don't matter - but I do.
The club and the print firm needs to review its proof reading arrangements.

If you want any help with that I'll offer mine. sean, it's just the whole negative vibe you have with anything to do with the club. 30-minutes after the final whistle your first thing to do is go on the messageboard and go 'look what i've found aren't i clever'. if you've seen the simpsons then you'll understand comic guys 'worst ever'... i take it your offering to have a quick scan over the proofs on a thursday evening then? cheers for the help.

Sean, I don't think you realise what a massive job it is that Whitters is doing.
He's not only runing the site but doing the programme as well, saving STFC one hell of a lot of money compared to the last programme editor and making a much better job of it. He's practically doing two full-time jobs and only getting paid for one.
Wouldn't you be annoied if all you saw was negative stuff about something you'd worked hard over? Give the bloke a break and tell him nicely next time. Maybe write him an email and offer to proof read some sections of the programme for him.
