Developers today said they were still "considering options" for the site of Gay Meadow, Shrewsbury Town's old football ground, almost a year after they revealed multi-million pound homes plans had been shelved. And Barratt Mercia today said it was hopeful the situation would be resolved "soon". The future of the site is still up in the air, after plans were shelved as the UK's financial crisis was reaching its peak. It is not known whether a housing development is still being considered or whether another scheme could be put forward. Plans had been approved for up to 173 homes to be built on the old riverside site, which has been lying undeveloped since Shrewsbury Town moved to their new home in Oteley Road in 2007.
