End of twitter postShrewsbury Town in kit clash dashpublished at 18:36 British Summer Time 30 August 2019
BBC Radio Shropshire SportShrewsbury Town have had to find a new kit at short notice ahead of their match with Ipswich Town tomorrow.
The club said it made the move after the match referee expressed concerns that both Shrewsbury's home and away kits were too similar to Ipswich's kit.

The solution is a one-off white shirt, which will be worn with purple shorts and socks.
The club thanked its kit supplier for helping out, and said there were no plans to sell the shirts to fans.

Repairs to collapsed road are 'complicated'published at 17:36 British Summer Time 30 August 2019
A road that looks in danger of collapsing outside people's homes won't be easy to fix, a council says.
The surface is unstable on Boatman Drive in Stoke-on-Trent.
A city council spokesperson said that until ground beneath was stabilised, the authority couldn't carry out repairs to the road itself.
He said it appeared there had been a problem with the properties there, which were built by Redrow Homes.
The builder said in a statement it was aware of reports of subsidence and was working with the council "to find the root cause of any potential issue".
Quote MessageThe situation on Boatman Drive has been developing, as far as we've been able to find out, over the past few years. There was a problem when the houses were first built and according to the searches we've found, a number of the properties have had structural works done to them, in order to stabilise them."
