Anyone up in Shrewsbury for our last game a few years back, wasn't there but heard it was naughty.
Prison for a few handbags while rapists get a caution. Has this country lost it's marbles?

Soccer hooligans begin jail terms after brawl costs public £60,000
A town centre brawl before a Shrewsbury Town game cost the public nearly £60,000, it has been revealed.
Up to 30 football fans have received prison sentences and 4-10 years football banning orders for a violent brawl which occurred on 14th October 2012 between Shrewsbury Town and Walsall in Shrewsbury Town Centre.
A police officer from Shropshire whose leg was broken in the massive town centre brawl has still not fully recovered a year later, it was revealed in court, as more football hooligans were jailed.
The court watched CCTV of the ugly scene which involved multiple fights with men kicking, punching and flooring one another as the out of control crowd descended down the street.
Sentencing Judge Graham Cliff said: “This was in a public place where members of the public were no doubt frightened, inconvenienced and in which a police officer was injured.”
Fans were given jail sentences ranging from 6 months to 18 months in prison and 2 fans were given 250 hours community service.
Football hooliganism has been rising in the lower divisions in the last few seasons and the Authorities are now clamping down hard on it.
