| abstract | - Shrewsbury Town and Bristol Rovers have faced each other a total of 59 times in competitive football, with the better record belonging to Rovers thanks to their 28 wins to Shrewsbury's 17. The clubs met for the first time on 25 August 1951 in the old Third Division (South) in a game that ended in a 3–3 draw, and Shrewsbury also provided the opposition in the 2007 playoff final, when Rovers won promotion to League One. Games between these two teams played at Shrewsbury's home ground have become known as the Weetabix derby, thanks to the bizarre habit of Rovers fans of taking packets of Weetabix to the ground to throw at each other. The story behind this, possibly apocryphal, is that a Rovers fan who was somewhat the worse for wear for drink was sent to the local supermarket with £75 in his pocket to buy lunch for him and his friends. Not being in the most lucid state he brought back £75 worth of Weetabix. The group used the cereal to feed birds at the ground, but before long it had degenerated into a full-scale food fight. The next year the same group returned to the scene of the crime, again bearing Weetabix, and it soon became a tradition, though stewards at the ground now have strict instructions to confiscate breakfast cereals at the gate.
