http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/s/shrewsbury/9101421.stm[/quote]Judging by the article, they are using only grounds in the Midlands area. But still- why Shrewsbury? What''s wrong with St Andrews, Villa Park, or the Britannia Stadium?

Probably not expecting huge crowds, so if they had St Andrews/Villa park, how many do they hold? 30/40,000? I wouldn''t imagine their are to many away fans for under 21 games, and if prices aren''t cheap, they probably wouldn''t be able to sell 40,000 tickets at Villa park, so would rather have a full Shrewsbury stadium, than a half full Villa park...

(or they can sell that many tickets, but Brum/Villa etc, don''t want their pitches to be used :P)
