Only problem is that there seems to be two ways to pronounce it, so make sure you get it right! I say "Shro'sbury", while others say "Shroosbury"....Nobody seems to know which is correct! I believe the difference is described as "town or gown", the first option you have written is how the rather posh private school refers to itself. The latter pronunciation is the one people in the town use. 16 hours ago, BigTone said: I'm thinking their nickname "The Shrews" sort of ends that arguement That would make the above seem correct.

You need to add in the neglect to pronounce the R at all. “Shoes-bury” which is what a lot of the locals go with. Either way... new second team! Salop (whatever that means!)

Yet the irony that Tisdale is ex-City too albeit not as prominent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will always be thankful for that season. I was lucky enough to be at Bradford away as well. Amazing memories! All the best SC. Very good appointment for them. Yes indeed! Did any other City team ever score eight goals in a league game under any of their managers, If they did, It wasn't in my lifetime and I'm 75.

Wilson was a serial bottler, his team went nowhere, he had 4 full seasons to end up exactly where we started. He achieved nothing with us. He had funds too, he spent £600k (a real fortune for a third division club) on Lee Peacock, a piss head, who flattered to deceive. Paired him with Robbored’s beloved Tony Thorpe, a £1m player, playing in the third division.. People say Cotts had a big budget (& he did) but he sold Baldock for £2m to balance the books & brought in the likes of Wilbs & Wade Elliott for nothing. Wilson’s free transfers were the likes of Tony Butler & Mark Lever.. Absolutely no comparison.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilson did manage to take a team (Barnsley) to the Premiership, whereas Cotts took his (us) to the Championship, so one COULD argue that Wilson’s CV reads better.

Cotterill delivered what Wilson couldn’t - and in style. Good luck to the guy. I hope he does well. Yep...........gotta agree, that was an awful performance in front of so many faithful City fans...........whatever happened to that tiny bloke who scored the winner? A real let down of a day.

Leon ‘Diving’ Knight 9 goals in 64 games in Championship and then his career slid down through the levels via Scotland to Ireland * He sort of sums up what we lost to that day One of the first prolific divers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course I would have pointed out who Tisdale used to play for - but as my post said, my conversation with the gashead was weeks ago - way before Tisdale was appointed. And surely ‘The Gap’ needs to be renamed now? It doesn’t do the disparity in league positions, infrastructure and time they’ve spent below us any justice at all - it’s more of a gert big bloody chasm now?! And you’re spot on about our cast offs - they seem to view them as making a step up when they join Roverzzz for some reason, whereas they are soooo intimidated by anyone who has been successful with us ...
