West Ham v Shrewsbury: All the facts for Town's London Stadium bow

Tonight’s trip to the London Stadium, formerly known as the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, is Shrewsbury’s first.

A sell-out away allocation will roar Paul Hurst’s team on in the capital – here is everything worth knowing ahead of the FA Cup third-round replay.

Five key questions:

When does the game kick-off?

As it's a weekday replay, Shrewsbury Town will kick-off their crunch clash at 7.45pm, along with three other FA Cup replays.

Meanwhile, Reading's clash with Stevenage will go ahead 15 minutes later, at 8pm.

Who could Shrewsbury Town face next?

The winners between Shrewsbury Town and West Ham have been drawn against whoever comes out on top in Wigan's FA Cup replay with Bournemouth.

That means that fans won't find out their next opposition until tomorrow evening, as the Latics face the Cherries at 7.45pm on Wednesday.

Is it on TV?

Unfortunately not.

Unlike the first meeting, Shrewsbury Town won't be in front of the cameras tonight, with Leicester City's game with Fleetwood being broadcast on BT Sport 2 instead.

You can, of course, follow live updates from the Shropshire Star's top team at the London Stadium.

Chelsea's replay with Norwich will be on the BBC tomorrow evening too.

How many fans will be there?

Shrewsbury Town were allocated 3,000 tickets at the London Stadium for the game, which have sold-out.

66,000 total fans can fit into the ground, however - with plenty of home tickets still available, don't expect the stands to be completely packed out.

How much money will Salop get?

Winners of the third round proper receive a prize of £67,500, so that's the cash at stake in the game.

Should they progress into the fourth round, Salop could then earn £90,000 by winning that fixture.

Catering

Quenching your thirst or securing some grub should not be too much of a challenge. The stadium contains some 35 catering outlets. With an array of choice on offer, the half-time queues should not be a problem for the thousands of Salopians.

Menus

Shrews fans should be treated to a culinary treat in the East End. Take the chance to sample a different kind of football delicacies, including locally sourced Wicks Manor sausages and freshly cooked pure beef or chicken burgers.

Fans of a younger generation, or those with a sweet tooth, should pop to Kingdom of Sweets, who offer ice cream, sweets and cold drinks.

The concourses contain 10 draft beer bars as well as four real ale bars. Why not give the West Ham ale, brewed at the stadium, a try? Food and drink are on sale until the beginning of the second-half.

History

Originally designed and constructed for the 2012 Olympic Games, the London Stadium has since become home to West Ham United after the demolition of the Boleyn Ground two summers ago.

The 2012 event captured the hearts of the nation, providing some irreplaceable memories.

With its athletics track running around the football pitch, the stadium has since played host to the Anniversary Games and last summer’s World Athletics Championships.

Remember Super Saturday – Mo Farah, Jessica Ennis and Greg Rutherford? We’re hoping for Town Tuesday.

Venue

It is not just a football and athletics venue. The Stratford venue has hosted rock legends AC/DC, Guns ‘N’ Roses and Depeche Mode and welcome Foo Fighters this summer. Rugby and motorsport events have also taken place at the multi-function arena.

Facts

The stadium’s turf was grown in Scunthorpe, while there is executive capacity at the stadium for 3,600.

It is served by 58 trains per hour as well as 20 bus routes.
