Hi guys following this weeks sp meeting I'd like to ask what you guys would like to see in the concourses, Jamie Edwards at the CST is interested in doing something community based like the trust did with the heritage project. This could include, images, painted areas with club records etc etc.
Now the badge has been done this hopefully could be the sp/fans new project so get your thinking caps on..... All ideas are welcome

How about a trail of lettering on the floor emanating from the gates with each one with a famous quote from media. Monochrome or pop art images of historical figures painted on the wall.

More historic pictures please, very enjoyable looking at pieces of Shrewsbury history while stuffing a pie down my neck.

should be easy to blow up photos on placards of towns history from 1886 at Copthorne Barracks onwards. in fact would like to see these in a STFC heritage centre on site. I have a 1912 team photo on a postcard

Before all the above is considered, I would suggest all the breeze block in all the stands, toilet areas etc should be painted white, it would certainly make the ground smarter.
I think the club have tried to avoid painting the concourses to avoid the cost and maintenance, however it just makes the ground look unfinished!

Would like to see a life size version of the west stand poster with all Towns kits over the years, all done in a row.
Plus a similar thing with our club badges, past to present.

I think it needs to start with painting all the grey blocks Blue ( white would be cold and soon show marks) not too dark but as near to 'our' blue as possible..... then perhaps a meter wide amber stripe a meter off the ground all the way round the concourses.... Once this has been achieved ( would take the closed season) we could then decorate with memorable moments / players from our history.....
What we shouldn't do is just try to put thinks up or paint a mural leaving the dull grey on the res of the walls
This would be a major project but don't see the point in doing it half heartedly and am sure the CST want to do things right ....
Did the club mention when they're doing their bit on the outside with our £4000 + they've had for over a year by the way?

I quite like what Plymouth have done with the concrete walls that lead from the concourse to the seats,they have large pictures painted on of former players done with the green of the stadium.The concrete makes the ground look unfinished

Agree with the comments about painting the breeze block, I saw a picture of the players coming out of the tunnel and it looked so tinpot with breezeblocks and then that badge.
The mural and the historical pictures in the West Stand are really good but I'd like something like a blue wall with various text in amber across it, eg names of players, famous games with the dates, quotes/sayings associated with the club etc.

Painting the walls B&A would really darken the areas, better to have feature sections with the colour theme.

Painting the breeze blocks is a good idea if it is maintained. White can make a place look a lot smarter but it could easily make it look dirty and aged if it isn't maintained effectively.
Probably unlikely but big pictures in the corners of the stands where we currently have advertisements would be great. Images of our promotion season like the one with the boys in the dressing room and the promotion banner. Image of our trips to Wembley would be great too. One of Andy Cooke celebrating after we beat MK Dons is a great one!
Something to put a bit of recent history in sight. We've got a great ground but a little personal touch could make it much better.

Some seats on the concourse would be much appreciated. Bar stool types so that there is somewhere to sit to view televisions and eat pies!

Screens behind the bar so you look forward whilst in the long queue rather than turning you head round.

Only just seen this, I dont have a clue whats happening Davey.... I would agree that an update would be good, and will ask Mike to pop along and give one if he can...
At the last meeting it was agreed to "get on with it" but no idea where that's got to.

I would like to see some recognition for past players, maybe large photos along the concourse and a plaque with the player of the seasons name on it?
also all our old playing kits! maybe hanging down from the ceilings along the concourse might look smart!

I would never recognise passed players. If they were passed they should have been dropped. There are plenty of past players far more worthy of the honour. Sent from my GT-I9195 using proboards

Old kits, framed and put onto the cncourse wall would be ace. Pictures of iconic moments, and perhaps DVDs showing old games (memorable ones, not just a random 1-1 draw with Barnet lol(

The clip art lion mural does stick in the throat - I think it should be painted over.

The amber 'STFC' on the seats is looking faded.
