The Shrews have confirmed manager Steve Cotterill has been in intensive care with coronavirus and remains in hospital.
Claremont park. Wow, that's a blast. The pitches were dog ruff. The Library one was not only dog ruff, but dog poo. The other, slightly better. More enclosed with trees on 3 sides- felt like a stadium when you were 8, or 18.Wish him all the best. Always remember having a chat with him when he was the manager of Cheltenham and they were doing a training session on Claremont Park. prior to playing us in the afternoon. He was asking me all about Brett and Murphs, although I'm pretty sure he knew all he needed to know about them.
To be honest, I'm surprised no football player or manager hasn't yet suffered more seriously from this dreaded disease.
I only played on there once, and it was like playing on ankle deep treacle.Claremont park. Wow, that's a blast. The pitches were dog ruff. The Library one was not only dog ruff, but dog poo. The other, slightly better. More enclosed with trees on 3 sides- felt like a stadium when you were 8, or 18.

I can only now appreciate how sliding tackles weren't welcomed on manicured grass.I only played on there once, and it was like playing on ankle deep treacle.
