As it happened: Shrewsbury Town start new ownership era with victory

Shrewsbury Town’s new era gets under way as Oldham visit the Meadow - live updates including match action and reaction.

A new era begins at Shrewsbury Town today! Welcome to our live coverage of the first match under Salop’s new ownership.

It has been quite the week at the Croud Meadow, and with so much happening off the pitch, it has perhaps been easy to forget there is a game to play this weekend.

Scott Davidson’s Miami-based consortium completed its takeover of the club this week, with the new owner and chairman joined by sporting director Brad Friedel and director Will Dotson at today’s clash with Oldham Athletic.

The trio will be meeting supporters, introduced to the crowd on the pitch and watching on as Town look to mark the start of a new era with a positive result.

We will bring you all the action from the Meadow, including team news, match updates and reaction throughout the afternoon below.
