There have been two games at Town's new stadium with the A-Line All-Stars and then Coventry City taking on Shrewsbury.

CEO Steve Wellbeloved has spoken on ShrewsWeb about how the safety certificate is progressing and now we speak to Vice Chairman Keith Sayfritz about the travel plan progress.

The Travel Plan has been in operation for both games and on Thursday the Travel Liaison Group met for the first time to discuss how the plan had worked in practice.

Feedback has been coming from fans via ShrewsChat, emails and phone calls to the club and this has proved helpful in the groups discussions.

ShrewsWeb spoke to Keith Sayfritz after the meeting and the Vice Chairman was positive about the meetings discussions: "It was the first liaison group meeting that we've had since we started our pre-season friendly program.

"The general feeling from all those present was that it had been an excellent start by the club. Everyone was delighted with the way the travel plan has been approached so far and with the reaction from our supporters and the measures that the club has put in place.

"It is only the start of things, we all recognise that and we still have to help and educate people so that we can get the best possible result.

"There were a number of things that came out of the meeting where we could do with further cooperation from our supporters with.

"One is a serious safety issue in that a lot of people have noticed a number of spectators, some quite young, who are crossing Oteley Road and not really paying due regard to their safety. We have to get people to accept that Oteley Road is potentially dangerous and we just ask people to take great care when they are crossing that road.

"We are also concerned by a number of people who are not obeying legitimate request from our stewards, and I must highlight that there have been a number of cases of people abusing the stewards. That is something as a club that we can't tolerate, the stewards are doing a job and love the club and all we want is for people to cooperate.

"All of the measures that our stewards have been asked to get supporters to adder to are all for their own safety.

"It is early days, it is a totally different scenario from the Gay Meadow where we all used to pile down the narrows, but all of these points are important for the club as we strive to get the full safety certificate which will allow the full 10,000 that we need."

One of the major pieces of the Travel Plan is the use of the Park and Ride and Park and Walk schemes. The numbers who used these services were counted and the results were very encouraging: "We are pleased to see that use of the Park and Ride scheme has been taken up so well.

"For £2 you can either take your car to a Park and Ride site, or you can walk to one, and then have a return journey to the stadium.

"We've been pleased by the feedback from supporters who have used the Park and Ride and the number who have been positive about their experiences.

"There are still a couple of sites which aren't in operation yet the Shrewsbury Business Park and Sutton Road Nurseries. We are awaiting the outcome of a planning meeting which is scheduled for mid August and if we get a positive result from that we should be looking for the Shrewsbury Business Park to be up and running is September 1st.

"With Sutton Road Nursery we are looking at mid August before a final decision is reached on that and we will then publicise the details of that through the website."

The feedback and discussions on ShrewsChat have been going on over the last couple of weeks. One of the issues highlighted was the frequency of buses on the P&R and we asked Keith about this: "Those services are very, very important to us and one of the ways to ensure people use these services is the frequency that the buses leave.

"When we started planning the service we spent time with the officers who organise the County Councils Park and Ride service and we are looking to provide a service with the frequency of between 10 and 15 minutes.

"What we have agreed is to have a flexible service so say for the Man City game where we expect a big crowd and greater need for the buses we will look at upping the number of buses.

"It's something that we want our supporters to help us with and the highlight their experiences with. If they have any thoughts or questions then please leave them on ShrewsChat and we will answer them.

"There are buses in reserve and this will allow us to flex the service as and when we need to increase the number of buses."

Another hot topic is that of disabled parking at the new stadium. People were asked to highlight if they needed disabled parking when buying their season tickets and the response was very high. No decision has been announced on this yet but Keith gave an update on what was going on: "I want to make it clear on the clubs position with this as there has been a bit of confusion on this.

"When the stadium was built we followed very closely the government's guidelines, firstly that means we can only have 670 spaces at the stadium.

"There are certain groups of supporters who are given priority and that is in line with any other new stadium.

"One of the biggest priorities that we have is for our disabled fans, the government guidelines are that we have to provide 38 parking bays for registered disabled fans.

"We've already assessed that and the club need to make more spaces available and we have done that. There are a substantial number of extra bays that have been made available.

"That is now all that we can do for disabled parking as we haven't got an infinite number of spaces available.

"The priority will be to season ticket holders who are registered disabled that have already applied and we will do our best to satisfy them.

"I'm sure there will be disappointed people and we certainly don't like that but the number of spaces is well in excess of the government guidelines, and I'd guess that is far more than any other club have made available.

"From now onwards we pretty much won't be able to satisfy any extra demands and we will be working through the applications that we have already had and will be trying our best to satisfy that demand."

The meeting highlighted a couple of problems that came to light over the last two games. One of these is the issue of parking in restricted areas around the immediate site: "Most of our fans have heeded our requests not to park in the restricted areas but there were a couple of concern.

"There have been people who haven't and that has been noted by the residents and we just make a further plea to our fans.

"We ask our fans to cooperate with us as the club doesn't want to be involved in any further expense and we don't want to get heavy with our own fans.

"I'd like to finish on a positive note and it was very heartening to see the amount of cyclists who came to the games. At the first game we have over 100 cyclists and that is terrific and great to see."
