Looking forward to this one after last week's result. Not been to Walsall before so another to tick off the list too. Should be a decent following, no idea of numbers sold but should think it'll be 1300-1500 if I had to guess.

Team-wise I think we might end up with the rarity of an unchanged side. Donacien on the bench maybe.

Think these are there for the taking big time great opportunity to get 3 points at a place you wouldn't expect to this season

[CFC91]

They are definitely there for the taking. Bang out of form
What is the allocation? Would have thought we might have sold this one out given proximity

I'm of the mindset of going there to not lose. I would take a draw.

The situation and squad is an exciting one. I'm looking forward to it

They gave us loads as far as I can work out, the away end plus a chunk of the side stand. Must be 2300/2400 total. You can still pick from either the side or end.

Can't wait for this one, this season has had 2/3 all timer away days but would be great to add another in.

I think we need to be past that mindset a little given the chase we're in and our inevitable 1-0 loss to Carlise.

I've been to Walsall 4 times before. There is street parking about 10 mins walk away around Morrisons (where the old ground used to be).

Stadium like your local B&Q. Plus it is that close to the M6 you can spit on it as you're driving past.

Just hope the players turn up for this big game like we did at Crewe and Donny. We'll have another big following but I hope we put in a performance, we were let down badly at Fleetwood, Harrogate and Cheltenham and not forgetting Vale. If we play our up tempo game and concentrate in defence we can come away with the 3pts.

Dave,I think the players who've come in during the injury crisis, have done remarkably well. Drummond, Hobson, Shecks, Grimes and Williams have all done the club proud, but having an unsettled side hasn't helped one bit. Have faith buddy and see what happens now we have players returning and the new ones gelling.

The club just posted that we?ve Sold just over 1600 for Saturday. Thought we might have sold this one out. Still decent numbers tho.

If we'd have been pushing for the top 3 I think we would have. Given we're basically midtable it sounds like a good following to me.

Are we better off in Walsall centre for pubs? Doesn't look much near the ground

Not difficult on the train this one if you don't mind a change. The ground is right by the Bescot train station. Few beers in Birmingham city centre it is then.

Worth noting Villa are at home at the same time and if memory serves the trains to Bescot are on the same line as Villa Park so are likely to be busy.

Laddies saying 3/1 town for a win,might be worth a punt.

Yes you are spot on, Aston is a few stops down from Bescot and Tame Bridge Parkway.

And what does Big Faith think about that?
