History of the Shrewsbury Town v Cheltenham Town fixture

Cheltenham T. pack their bags to visit Shrewsbury Town at Gay Meadow on Tuesday evening, and have come away with little in previous meetings, having managed to conjure up just 1 wins from the previous 3 games.

The previous match played between the two at Gay Meadow was within the last three years, in September 2001, the Shrews carving out a narrow 2 - 1 victory in a League Division Three match.
