Grant Holt cleaned up at the Shrewbury Town Supporters Player of the year awards, his haul including official supporters player of the year.

Shrewsbury Town are set to be roared on by a sell-out travelling contingent of 1,400 fans for their season-defining clash at Dagenham & Redbridge on Saturday.

Just 150 tickets remained unsold this morning for a game Town must win to make the League Two play-offs – and general manager Jon Harris expected those to go by lunchtime.

Nothing other than a win will do for Shrewsbury, though Dagenham, who go into the game two points clear, would be able to hold onto that precious seventh spot with a draw.

“The supporters have bought into the fact that it’s a winner-takes-all game,” said Harris.

“It’s a cup final now and we are delighted to be taking as many fans as we can.

“It’s a big occasion for everyone and I’m sure the nerves will be jangling, but the more supporters we have there behind us, the better.

“We were very busy at the ticket office yesterday and I’m sure the last few tickets will disappear quickly.”

Meanwhile, fans have until Friday to take advantage of the early bird prices available on season tickets for 2009-10.

Shrewsbury sold a record-breaking 2,700 season tickets for the current campaign and early indications suggest they could reach that sort of figure once again over the summer.

“We’ve sold in excess of 1,000 tickets through the early bird scheme and that’s just amazing,” added Harris.

“We made this offer to our supporters with consideration to the economic climate and the take-up has been wonderful.”

l Town’s reserves were in action at Mansfield this afternoon (2pm), chasing the solitary point they needed to secure the title in the Totesport League division one central.

Shrewsbury were three points clear of Nottingham Forest with one game left to play, and their superior goal difference meant the championship was already all-but won.

l Chester boss Mark Wright believes the transfer embargo placed on the club has led to their seemingly inevitable relegation from the League.

Wright has been unable to add to his squad after PFA revelations about unpaid player wages led to the embargo last June, but the former England defender insists his side have been treated unfairly.
