Carlisle (H) League 1- Saturday 11th August 2007

[dler]

There will be no shots, no pace, the new strips will be poor quality, the ball will be as light as a balloon, the ref will be picky, the players will be too old, the sun will be in my eyes, the queue for the refreshments will be long, and the refreshments will not be refreshing, the programme will be poor value for money (I don't know why I buy one I really don't), Bescot station will be shut, the journey home will be tortuous with blocked toilets, expensive buffet, and no windows to stick your head out of like when Ray Graydon was in charge.

Modern life is rubbish, and football is its barometer.
















Unfortunately, while there's life there's football.

And they say entertainment is dead...












Well, somebody probably does.

[liamrowc52]

First match and i have work, have yet to pick up my seasonticket eswell.
2-1 to walsall, last seasons form still with us, we could dominate late on after comeing under pressure.

5999.

[We-ARE-Walsall]

Walsall 0

There will be no hot dogs left at half time,

Crowd of 4878, of whom 12-15 sitting behind the dugout will hurl abuse at Dicky, who in turn will resign and go and work where ever he likes.

Well it is more likely than 7-0 to the Super Saddlers

[4143]

Match postponed due to hairy ball.

[Registered Saddler]

One apiece

[Jolly Johnny]

1-1, Mooney to score for us.

6785 in the crowd, although this might change considerably if the Carlisle fan I heard the other day say "we'll bring at least 2,500 for the opening game of the season" is correct....yeah right!! :lol:

[latviancheese]

I think carlisle will bring 1,000 at most, i know its first day of the season, but its one hell of an away treck for them.

[derbysaddler]

Carlisle fan on FF reckons they are bringing over 3,000. hehe.

[Registered Saddler]

Carlisle will bring a lot. They've got a really strong support base, and remember Walsall is one of their easier trips, straight down the M6, unlike going to Orient or Bournemouth or Gillingham. I'd guess they will more or less fill the away end, so around 1,500-2,000 travelling down.

[Stu]

The Carlisle fan I know reckons they'll bring the 2000 to fill the William Sharp away end for an opening day fixture.

They might be a way away, but its also just a straight blitz down the M1 for them and it is opening day when all teams bring inflated crowds, so I wouldn't be surprised if they brought circa 1900.

They have been allocated that many..Inside info :wink:

I reckon a good 2k they will bring, got a quality away following.

Oh and 2-0 saddlers.

[redsaddler]

I reckon we're in for a cracking game so I'll say Walsall 2-2 Carlisle

Mooney and Sonner for us

Graham and an Aranalde penalty for them

Attendance of 7,109 with around 1,237 from Carlisle

Surely not, 1,238 at least what are you thinking man!

Great avatar, obviously another 'bottom' fanatic exists, I alaways revert to watching a few episodes
after dissapointing footy, it's almost a cure for the agony. "tweezers!" "We havn't got any tweezers!"

I always watch the repeats of Bottom whenever and wherever they are on TV, usually at 9:40 on UKTV G2 on a Wednesday!

[deanonev69]

3-1 to the mighty reds, Butler, Mooney and a Sonner penalty.

7826 the crowd.

There's a good chance they wont get here then Stu if they go down the M1.... :shock:

[Geordiesaddler]

I confidently predict Carlisle will bring 2,000+. Its not at all a long trip for them, its a very straightforward medium trip - Carlisle is a long trip for Walsall fans :wink:

[Duke]

It great to think we'll see better away support at home this season , might help the home end wake up a bit . :wink: and create a better atmosphere .

[Saddler4Life]

a 1-0 win to the saddlers!

Hall to score!

[We-ARE-Walsall]

I confidently predict Carlisle will bring 2,000+. Its not at all a long trip for them, its a very straightforward medium trip - Carlisle is a long trip for Walsall fans :wink:

Always a great away day though

[loop]

2 - 0 to the saddlers, Mooney and Hall to score.

Attendance 5826.


Can't wait !! :P

[asimpson]

The attendance will surely be more than 5 800! . I would think pushing on 7,000 for first match of season. But i may be wrong

[Jorge14]

Probably about 6500 in for a 1-1 draw. Two teams destined for mid-table I think.

[silvervanman]

a cagey 1-0 to the saddlers and yes carlisle will bring a big following an old mate of mine is a carlisle fan and as said before they class a game against walsall as a local derby ':shock:'
Shocked
!!! so a crowd of over 7,000 i think maybe pushing 8,000

[coxy_saddler]

It will be a good 8k..2+ carlisle i should think there will be 6k of us lot?

Cyclo promises to keep me updated by Text.

Could someone possibly keep me updated too? Any volunteers PM me please.

Just log on to the BBC Football web site and go to "My Team" and follow the clicks to get score up-dated every two minutes - admittedly about 5 minutes behind Sky Sports, but it's always there, on screen.
:)

[Welsh_Saddler]

I alternate between that screen and the "Live Videprinter" that gives you every game's goals as they are reported.

Prediction for Saturday - 2-0 to Walsall, goals from Mooney and Wrack. Clayton to save a penalty from Zigor :wink:

If you're online then just keep coming back to the match thread, or hit the chatroom. There's usually some of us on here that can't make the game. If you're out, you're on your own though, sorry!
