Shrewsbury earn Baggies friendly

West Brom celebrate
Shrewsbury Town are to face the promoted Baggies

Shrewsbury Town have pulled off a pre-season coup by fixing a friendly with Premier League new boys West Bromwich Albion on 22 July.

"I'm delighted that Tony Mowbray has agreed to bring his side to the new stadium," said Town boss Paul Simpson.

"It's an excellent fixture and will provide a good test for us."

The Tuesday night game is Town's first home friendly, three days after a trip to Steve Bull's Stafford Rangers. And there is a club Open Day on 27 July.

It will be Albion's first trip to Shrewsbury since their fans infamously paraded a coffin around the streets of the old Gay Meadow following a season of under achievement under Bobby Gould back in May 1992.
