Shrewsbury to break attendance record for Chelsea Cup tie

Shrewsbury Town will break their attendance record tonight against Capital One Cup opponents Chelsea.

Shrewsbury will meet star-studded Chelsea in the Capital One Cup fourth round in front of a record crowd.

Thanks to financial help from the cup sponsor, Shrewsbury have installed temporary seating for the clash and due to demand will break through the 10,000 capacity barrier at their Greenhous Meadow Stadium for the first time, says the Daily Mail.

The 486 home seats, split across two areas of the stadium, has enabled more Shrews fans the chance to watch the League 2 side's dream tie with the Premier League leaders.
