Shrewsbury boss Micky Mellon says the current air of 'negativity' from Town fans could affect his players.

The Labour leader has promised to support the Shrewsbury 24 campaign in his speech to the party conference in Liverpool today.

The booing after last night's Shrewsbury Town match is continuing to be a topic for discussion.

Peter Bassett wrote this on our Facebook page, external: "The boos last night were people directing their frustration at the management team, not the players. 

"Our manager is tactically inept and has no idea how to get the best out of the players at his disposal. His team selections and formations are negative, ill conceived and completely baffling most of the time."

Jean Duckett's comment was shorter. She wrote: "They're out of their depth".

But the Shrewsbury manager, Micky Mellon, has suggested the booing isn't helping his players and believes his team deserve more points than they've collected so far, based on their performances.

The number of drivers caught using a mobile phone behind the wheel has almost halved in five years, the BBC can reveal.

It was recently demolished and replaced with social housing and now one of the streets has been named Cole Terrace.

Martin Hughes seems even more upset, writing: "Don't blame the manager, he does his best with the (little) money he is given by the chairman. Wouldn't change even with new manager. STFC still languishing in the 3rd tier of football. Lack of ambition to go up to next level."

But Jenny tweeted us, external to say: "I'm not a booer and I never will be. Stick at it, my Shrewsbury boys."
