NEW MEADOW

Shrewsbury, England

WSPE-287

New Meadow, also known as the Greenhous Meadow for sponsorship purposes, is the home ground of Shrewsbury Town Football Club and is a UEFA Category three stadium. The stadium is situated on the southern outskirts of Shrewsbury, England, between the districts of Meole Brace and Sutton Farm. It was built to replace the Gay Meadow stadium, home of the Shrews since 1910.

The ground was completed in the summer of 2007, in time for the 2007–08 English football season. 'The New Meadow' was an unofficial name, used as the working title for ground during planning/construction, and along with other descriptive titles, such as 'Oteley Road Stadium' (pronounced Ot-Lee) was used during the first year of its existence. However, on 21 July 2008, along with launching their new team-wear range, the stadium was named in honour of sports kit manufacturer Prostar, a sponsor that the club had spent a year looking for. The naming rights deal was supposed to last for four years, but only lasted two seasons. In April 2010, a public vote was held amongst supporters by club sponsor Greenhous on the name of the stadium, which was to include "Greenhous". A majority voted for Greenhous Meadow with reference to their previous stadium Gay Meadow.
