    Shrewsbury Town have now sold more than 7,500 tickets for their Wembley play-off final against Rotherham United.

    Chief executive Brian Caldwell said he'd been frustrated by the way the tickets were sold initially, one block at a time and that he believed some fans had been holding back - to wait for their preferred seats to go on sale.

    The ticketing arrangements have now changed, to allow fans to select where they want to sit in the lower tier.
