Football Referees, Players, Managers and Media | Football Supporters News

Shrewsbury Town manager Paul Simpson will come face to face with fans of the club on Thursday night (October 8th).

The League Two outfit's latest fans' forum gets underway at the Prostar Stadium from 1930 BST, with Simpson pledging to be open and honest when answering questions from the supporters.

He told BBC Sport that he hopes to "satisfy every one-to-one question" during the meeting.

"I know I'm going to get grilled, which probably isn't something you should look forward to, but I think you have to be approachable," the 43-year-old said.

The fans' forum will be recorded and broadcast by BBC Radio Shropshire, while supporters who are unable to attend can email their questions to be passed on to the manager.

Simpson took over at Shrewsbury Town in March 2008 and guided the club to the League Two playoff final last season.

The Shrews were beaten 1-0 by Gillingham at Wembley but have made an encouraging start to the 2009-10 campaign, taking 21 points from the first 11 games.
