They did what they had to do. We need to be equipped to not let teams bully us like they did. We can't logically begrudge them playing to our weaknesses. But we are human and I want to rub their noses in it!
Shame, Rotherham are a dull yo yo team at this level. Shrews had a one off great season and if we are not involved then I would generally always hope the third place team end up promoted.
Watched the highlights; well done Rotherham, the Shrews were up to their usual tricks - I counted at least one elbow - and several dubious tackles. Fortunately Rotherham stood up well. Actually looking forward to playing Shrewsbury next season and tearing them a new one.
Lowest ever attendance for the third tier play off final. 29K was the previous low for the 1990 final (also the first at Wembley) Notts County v Tranmere.
Same 3 who came down have gone straight back up, not a regular occurrence Is it.
I hope not - we don't want it happening next season. But it shows there is a gap between the Championship and League one. We all know the standard is poor!
Shrewsbury would have been relegated two years ago had it not been for them appointing Hurst from Grimsby, they were awful when we beat them 3-0 @ the Valley
Uwe Rosler managed something similar with Fleetwood two years ago and almost got relegated with them this season (Only to be sacked) - Expect the same or worse for the Shrews
Ah well, that's Shrewsbury's one shot blown. They'll probably get relegated next season.
Here's hoping.
Before people jump on my comment, I learned on Saturday that on our way back to the car on 24/02 one of their fans called my 7 year old nephew a ''stupid f***ing little c**t'', purely because the kid bumped into him...
This was after they had just beat us 2-0....
His Grandad only told me this on Saturday as I wasn't aware of it as I'd nipped off ahead of them to pick the car up and drive back down closer to them.

Delightful.
Yeah, but what goes around comes around eh? It's called karma. Have lost all respect for the Shrews, nasty little team with, proportionately, an even nastier set of fans. Loved it when the Millers banged in what proved to be the winner!
As they say - revenge is a dish best served cold. Maybe we can help relegate them next season. I hope so. Not sure much of a team talk will be needed when we play them. The only problem is, it probably sums up how far we have fallen when we hate Shrewsbury!

Swings and roundabouts of the teams outside of the top6 my friend, we will be back to losing to Millwall in no time
And now their manager has decamped for pastures new,or even meadows new,may we be seeing the Shrews installed as a relegation favourite? Good luck to Hurst,he's earned his move and I doubt that Shrewsbury will find his like again for some time.

Captain Fantastic Woody !
To go to Wembley is a big deal.
Bromley got 31000
We would take at least 60000 if all the boycotters pitched up ;-)
Well, also if we had actually made it there...
Shame as good management and team spirit matters less in the face of big resources.
My guess is that this will happen more.

The Shrews have always been our natural rivals and this has only cemented it.
Part of me doesn't want a takeover or promotion if it means we'll have to do without this fixture each season.
Prepare to unleash hell. COYA!
