Tickets have flown off the shelves in Shropshire, with the final 700 in the home end being sold yesterday .

The tie sees Shrewsbury manager Sam Ricketts go head-to-head with his former club as well as a possible Wolves reunion for Dave Edwards, who returned to his boyhood club earlier this month.

It is the first time the clubs have met in the FA Cup since the historic 1978/79 season when Shrewsbury recorded their greatest ever Cup run, going all the way to a quarter-final replay against Wolves under player-boss Graham Turner.

Saturday’s kick-off is 3pm, with Wolves allocated 1,591 tickets of the 9,875 capacity.

These have also now sold out.
