USA flags, face paint and plenty of smiles - can you spot yourself as Shrewsbury Town welcomed a new era?

A new era at Shrewsbury Town was celebrated in style as supporters welcomed the club’s American owners to the Meadow.

New owner Scott Davidson and sporting director Brad Friedel mixed with fans in the fan zone and around the ground before kick-off. The pair happily posed for plenty of pictures, taking the opportunity to meet supporters.

There was a real sense of occasion, with USA flags, face paint and plenty of red and blue on show as Salop fans embraced the beginning of a new chapter in the club’s history.

Salop’s new era began in perfect winning style as they beat Oldham Athletic. It was a momentous day at the Meadow, following a week in which the club’s long-awaited takeover was completed.

And the American dream got off to a flying start, with Scott Davidson, his family and fellow new board members twice rising to their feet after the break as Salop sank Oldham and former boss Micky Mellon with two quick-fire goals.

It was a day to remember for Town supporters. Can you spot yourself in our gallery as fans celebrated the start of a new era?
