The New Saints to play Europa Conference home games in Shrewsbury
Shrewsbury’s Croud Meadow Stadium is 22 miles from Saints original village base of Llansantfraid and under 20 miles from Oswestry, where they have played home matches over the English border since the redevelopment of Park Hall in 2007.
In 2003 The New Saints played a Uefa Cup qualifying game against Manchester City at what was then named the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, but Harris had already ruled out the possibility of staging this season’s European ties at Cardiff City Stadium.
“Places like Cardiff are three hours away from where we are, so our fans and stakeholders can’t really get there,” Harris had said after beating FK Panevezys in the play-offs to qualify for the group stages.
“It’s got to be somewhere more local.
“Wrexham and Shrewsbury would be most ideal for us, but I’m not sure the Racecourse is available, so it’s our priority to get the games in a stadium that can cater for the games, but also giving the people around us a chance to go and watch.”
Their first match at Croud Meadow will be on Thursday, 24 October (20:00 BST), when they host Astana of Kazakhstan.
Djurgarden, from Sweden, will travel to Shrewsbury on Thursday, 28 November (17:45 GMT) before the visit of Greek team Panathinaikos on Thursday, 12 December (20:00 GMT).
Liam Dooley, Shrewsbury Town chief executive, said: “We are delighted to welcome The New Saints to the Croud Meadow. A lot of work has been completed behind the scenes on this by both clubs working together and we are really happy to get this over the line.
“It gives us the chance to showcase our stadium around Europe, as well as providing additional revenue for the club, and supporting TNS on their journey.”

Erling Haaland a coward for throwing ball at Gabriel – Ian Wright
Erling Haaland is a “coward” for throwing the ball at the back of Gabriel’s head after Manchester City’s late equaliser against Arsenal, says former Gunners striker Ian Wright.
City striker Haaland collected the ball from the net after John Stones’ goal and threw it at the back of the Arsenal defender, who was looking the other way and had put his shirt over his head in frustration.
The Video Assistant Referee reviewed the incident but chose not to intervene because it was not deemed a red card offence.
The Football Association says it will not take any further action over any of the incidents during the game, including a heated exchange between the players at the final whistle.
“The one thing that boiled me up properly was Haaland’s coward’s move,” Wright said in a video on Instagram.
“Throwing the ball at Gabi’s head when he’s not looking. When Gabi’s back’s turned to him. Real coward’s move. Gabi would look him in the eye, you know.
“That’s what bothered me more than anything else. I thought you [Haaland] were bigger than that.”

Barcelona goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen to have knee surgery
Barcelona goalkeeper and captain Marc-Andre ter Stegen is to have knee surgery on Monday after suffering a ruptured patella tendon during Sunday’s La Liga victory against Villarreal.
The Germany international was carried off on a stretcher during the first half after his right knee buckled as he landed while catching the ball.
Barcelona say they will provide a further update after his operation, with no timescale yet put on the 32-year-old’s recovery.
Ter Stegen has made more than 400 appearances for the club since joining from Borussia Monchengladbach in 2014.
Hansi Flick’s side beat Villarreal 3-1 to maintain their 100% record in La Liga and move four points clear of Real Madrid at the top of the table.

WSL agrees new £45m sponsorship deal with Barclays
A new three-year agreement has been reached with Barclays to remain the title sponsor of the Women’s Super League and Women’s Championship.
The deal is understood to be in the region of £15m a year, including investment and marketing, double the previous arrangement which runs out at the end of this season.
It is the first major contract secured by the WSL’s new takeover company, Women’s Professional Leagues Limited (WPLL).
Barclays became the title sponsors in 2019 and the renewal is said to be the biggest deal in women’s domestic football.
There has been a continual increase in viewing figures and attendances across the WSL over the past few years.
WPLL chief executive Nikki Doucet said: “Barclays has been a leading light when it comes to supporting women’s football and they become a founding partner for WPLL as we embark on a transformational journey to grow the game.
“This record multi-year investment demonstrates long-term commitment and is important because it provides positive endorsement and increased support for what we are trying to accomplish.”
Barclays has also extended its partnership with the Premier League, agreeing a new four-year deal.
