Can't see there being that many, FA Cup 1st round crowds are nowhere near what they used to be, eventhough it is a local derby. Still you never know

I*'ll just be glad to get through, the thought of losing to these scummers doesn't bear thinking about :?


DD's in for a disappiontment methinks , 6000 at the most . i do expect a large away following .


I would be disappointed if he wasn't disappointed :D

75000 maximum I reckon, and a nice smug feeling of beating Shrewsbury. Not nearly as smug as beating Port Vale boxing day though

I'd say it's a fairly safe bet that we won't get more than 75,000 on Saturday. For a start, where would we put the last 63,500 of them? :wink: :lol: :lol:

3 nil to Walsall.


I hope we completely smash them off the park. Send them home proper gutted.

They've only one won in eight haven't they? , at that was at Wrexham who are shocking this season.

Not much chance of getting into the Saddler Club I'll bet?

Well if anyone wants to stop me, they are more than welcome.

Rob, no I haven't missed it really, saved at least 300 quid from the five matches I have missed, paid for all my little girls christmas presents, and there is always somet else to do on a saturday despite what people think. Is an easy habit to get out of in all honesty.

However, few quid burning a hole in my pocket, so a few beers are in order saturday. I may as well go and check in and watch the lads while I am at it :wink:

I dont know why, but i feel a draw.


If we were smart we'd wind them up with lots of 'Champions' and 'stand up for the champions' chants since we won their little league and they still continue to flounder around in it.

But since its bescot we'll sit there on our hands til we score

Atomic Rooster is going Saturday, so we can all look forward to a replay, at most! (He has yet to see us win this season!)

:lol: Offer here,

Simple 1-0 Victory

Ricketts after 18 minutes.

Total control of the game - 60-40 possession.

They get a man sent off after 65 minutes , we sit back and it"s cruise control until the whistle goes in the 93rd minute.

No real fantasy stuff, just a professional job done.

Simple as that.

:wink: Offer

3-1 to the Saddlers.

Ricketts, Mooney and Bradley on the scoresheet.

Davies for the Sloppies.

Attendance? Tough one, but I'll say 6,843 including 1,481 from Shropshire.

He won't be playing. Still hasn't recovered from the injury he picked up in the play-off semi against MK Dons.

Really looking forward to this one now. I can feel a good performance coming on today so I think 3 - 0 with a Ricketts opener and a contribution from Bradley and Fox (what a piledriver). Just drifted off for a second there. Oh well, coat on and off for a couple of beers. Here's to a good one everybody!!

Couldn't make it today, so am now patched into Saddlerworld.

(Had to finish decorating the bathroom - craftilly did the plastering so this part of the job would finish at 2.45pm. Can't do anything else until that's dried, so better sit down and listen to the match whilst it dries. The missus is amazed that this slotted in nicely with 3pm in the afternoon. Amazing really, ins't it? What a coincidence. :wink: )

Am well up for this.

C'mon!

Oh my god, now Mick has mentioned the Fourth Round for a big money spinning tie.

why doesn't he just say "hello fate, let me tempt you massively. Or even tweak your nose and tease you?"

Baffoon.
