There will be 8,000 Salopians roaring on Shrewsbury Town at Anfield tonight after the club sold out its allocation of tickets for the FA Cup replay against Liverpool.

The last 1,700 went on general sale from 5pm last night and large queues appeared at Montgomery Waters Meadow as supporters clamoured to get their hands on a ticket to see Town at the home of the European champions.

It had been expected that the last few would go on general sale on the day of the match but the club opted to put them out early, prompting Salop fans to rush to the Meadow.

It means the entire Anfield Road End will be blue and amber on Tuesday night.

And there will also be support for Town from across the world, including a group cheering on from West Africa.

Taxi driver Ibrahim Bah is a Sierra Leonian fan who has a charitable foundation in his homeland, with a football club named after Salop.

For the initial clash in which Town drew 2-2 with the Premier League leaders, Ibrahim paid for children from his Shrewsbury FC Lungi team to watch the game in a cinema.

If Shrewsbury emerge victorious against Neil Critchley’s under 23s, they can look forward to a trip to Chelsea in the fifth round.

Coachloads of Salopians will heading to Merseyside hopeful that Town can take advantage of Jurgen Klopp’s plans to take the night off along with his entire senior squad.

Season ticket holders and loyalty points holders were able to get tickets for the past few days, and the plan was for the remainder to go on general sale tomorrow.

But the club has decided to put the remaining tickets, priced £15 for adults and £1 for children, on general sale from 5pm yesterday.
