Gay Meadow's final FA Cup tie was a goalless draw against Hereford United on 11 November 2006 in the first round (Shrewsbury lost the replay at Edgar Street). The last team to win a professional match at Gay Meadow were Shrewsbury's biggest rivals Wrexham, who won 1-0 at the second-to-last league game at the ground on 24 April 2007. The final League game played at Gay Meadow was against Grimsby Town on 5 May 2007, a 2-2 draw, with Grimsby equalising in the final minute. To commemorate the day, a parade of former Shrewsbury Town greats was organised, with commemorative T-shirts being handed out to fans free of charge with donations for local charities instead. Defender Kelvin Langmead took the honour of being the final Shrewsbury Town goalscorer at the ground, although Grimsby's Nick Fenton scored the ground's final professional goal. The final senior competitive match held at Gay Meadow was against Milton Keynes Dons on 14 May 2007, the first leg of the League 2 Play-offs. The game finished 0-0. Before demolition, fans were given the opportunity to play on the pitch, in specially arranged friendly matches, and an auction was staged at the ground on 17 June 2007, where over 200 items were auctioned. In addition, 500 unsold seats were purchased by League of Wales side Caernarfon Town, to be used in the redevelopment of a stand at their ground, the Oval. The final football match to be staged at Gay Meadow was the club's annual friendly fixture between Shrewsbury's 'Away Supporters' team and the Shrewsbury Town backroom staff on Friday 22 June. Alan Roberts, the club's police liaison officer, scored the only goal of the game, and thus the last goal at the ground. In September 2007 demolition of the stadium began, and by October 2007 the ground was reduced to rubble. The site has been earmarked for residential building, with 150 flats scheduled to be built on the site. Initially, it was believed building work would commence in early 2008. In 2009, building started on a number of luxury flats and it was completed in 2014. With the ground almost completely demolished, a charity zip-wire event was held on 14 October 2007. Over 100 townspeople 'flew' from the St.Mary's area of the town centre, over the River Severn to land on the Gay Meadow pitch, emulating Robert Cadman's heroic attempt in 1740.
