The Salop Ultras supporters group started in November 2007 and was made up of fans who wanted to bring a colourful loud and noisy atmosphere to Shrewsbury Town's new stadium at Oteley Road. Our first few months at Oteley Road saw a large increase in attendances to Shrewsbury Town home games. Like in most new stadiums there seemed to be a lack of atmosphere and character at Oteley Road so a few of us decided to change things a little as a group. At first we were all spaced out all over the place inside the stadium there was small pockets of singing from different areas of the stadium, however after a few of us meeting up on the away supporters coach on the way to Darlington on a Tuesday night decided that we should all relocate as a bunch to a different part of the stadium. This was supposed to happen on 15th December vs Dagenham and Redbridge (which we won 4-0) but instead we brought it forward two whole weeks for the match against Macclesfield Town on December 1st 2007 in Block 9 of the South Stand a match in which we won 2-0. Since then we have not looked back and our group seems to be growing game by game.

On December 15th 2007 we created our football team F.C.Salop Ultras which played B&A at Sundorne Sports Village going down 3-0, two weeks later we played Shrewsbury Town ASFC at Meole Brace and lost 3-2. In February 2008 we entered a team into the local Powerleague 5's.

On 26th April 2008 Marc Tierney became the first ever Salop Ultras Shrewsbury Town player of the year winner. Seen here receiving a nice bottle of Champagne.

 

Ultras Mentality 1.Never stop singing during the whole match, no matter the result! 2.Never sit down during matches when possible to do so. 3.Follow as many games possible, regardless of costs or distances. 4.Loyalty to the stand the group is located in.
