Ok – first thing I need to change is the second line at the top. Welcome Andy another exile Shrews fan living in
So it will now read “We are the Ipswich Shrews - Lewis, Mike, Adam and Andy. Exile shrews following the town up and down the land!”
Note: (First posting a while - but the main thing is we are unbeaten in a month and made it into the second round of the cup - which we saw on the TV - and the dodgy movembers! - yes you Mr Gornell!)

Doh! – So we didn’t go to Northampton
What an amazing Saturday afternoon with goals flying in at Sixfields so fast that it was difficult to keep up!
Well….especially if like us we were not in attendance and instead trying to text others about the goals while walking around Asda and then in front of the TV.
Even Mr ice-cool ice Jeff Stelling on Gillette Soccer Saturday lost track of the goals in the last ten minutes.
So yes we are delighted about our win, the boost to the goal difference and Marvin Morgan halting his run of ten games without a goal.
But despite travelling to a fair few games home and away Saturday’s result has got me thinking about the games that we very close to going but then decided late on against it and consequently missed a classic town result.
Not in any particular order:
· Despite living 80 miles away in Bristol and accessible on the train, I decided to miss the Great Escape victory of 2-1 at Exeter
Why? Revising for uni exams.
Outcome: failed to do any revising as I watched nervously on ceefax (yes there no Jeff back then!) and via radio 5 and then celebrated the result in a nearby pub

· Shrewsbury
Why? Taking part in a weekend hike across the southShropshire hills
Outcome: enjoyable hike, town were champions but missed a great win and a rare Gary Patterson goal.

· Shrewsbury win 3 – 0 away at Crewe in April 2010
Why? Well after such a disappointing season in Paul Simpson’s spell why would we win atCrewe !?
Outcome: Missed out on Ton Bradshaw’s first ever goals for the Shrews

· And finally – Shrewsbury hammer 7 passed Northampton
Why? Decided that we would simply give this trip a miss – no other reason!
Outcome: Simple: watch Shrews put seven past sorry Cobblers
And of course by not going we turned down the chance to be fans on the day on Radio Shropshire.
