* Shrewsbury were drawn away to Oswestry Town in the Preliminary Round of the FA Cup in 1950/51 but they withdrew from the competition, refusing to play in the qualifying rounds after having been elected to the Football League.

** The 2019/20 season ended early because of the coronavirus pandemic with the last League 1 matches being played on Tuesday March 10th. At that time Shrewsbury were 16th in the table using the traditional points system but when it was decided that an average points per game (PPG) system would be used to decide the final placings Shrewsbury improved to 15th.
