Calling all budding sports writers .

. . The Shropshire Star's Shrewsbury Town reporter James Garrison has been banned from the club's Prostar Stadium after an article about the club appeared in Friday's newspaper.

James – who has been covering Shrewsbury Town home and away for the past four seasons – was banned following a meeting with the club's managing director Rob Bickerton and general manager Jon Harris yesterday.

The author of the article – senior reporter Russell Roberts – has also been banned from the stadium.

As James is the Shropshire Star's Shrewsbury Town correspondent, the club's action means the Shropshire Star will be unable to cover tonight's League Two game against Barnet.

Mr Bickerton requested a meeting with James and Russell after declaring the club was unhappy with a story headlined "Club bosses reveal more fans ejected from ground" which appeared on the front page of Friday's Shropshire Star.

As a result of the ban, the Shropshire Star is giving you, the fans, the chance to turn your hand at sports reporting.

The Shropshire Star wants to know your views on the match and give you the chance to get them into print.

All you have to do is email them to sportsdesk@shropshirestar.co.uk

All reports will be considered and the best will appear in tomorrow's newspaper.
