In one of the UK's largest 'towns' over 250,000 souls would rather watch the Dingles the Vile, or the Baggies...
And why not, it sure aint a pleasant experience at the Bescot these days, even amongst those of us who have been long suffering throughout this talentless uninterested drought of the past few years.

1-2...... 3,083 to witness another embarrassment.

[Rob Harvey]

The crowd will be closer to 1,500 than 3,000 i would think.

Please try to avoid all statements of 'pessimism' or Saddlerken & fatboyslim will 'get' ya! :D :D '

[brummie saddler]

have decided i will be going to the game on wedneday, mainly because i have a villa mate who attened the home league fixture with exeter and said our atmosphere was litterally non existent and he is debating about going in the away end, i have to ld him i will go only to prove walsall fans can create an atmosphere, hope those who do find the will and money to come bring a positive and enthusiastic head because i want to get some life back in the ground even if those wasters are being their typical in consistent selves.

Thats rich coming from a Vile cretin. The only atmosphere they create is in their front room.

as much as i do share your hate for villa, i have to confess to seeing them away twice, once at pompey and once at wigan, both times there support and following was 1st class i have to say, i did see them boxing day last year at home against spurs and the atmosphere was really dire..... i guess its the general rule of football as much as i hate it.

[Darth Vader]

Easy to make noise when you travel in thousands....

Vile Park is like a morgue though.

then why not easy to make noise when their at home in thousands ?

why do we find it easy to make a craking atmosphere with only 500 fans ?

i personally dont think its the numbers that count, yess more people equals more voices that equals a louder atmosphere if all get involved, but i think its the mindset, for some reason people dont have that enthusiasm to have a sing song at home compared to when their away.
maybe its because they dont drink as much courage before a home game or that an away game takes them back to when following walsall was a reall buzz and they then feel motivated to try and re live them magical days when our away support was pretty decent.

[Darth Vader]

It is the mindset/away day buzz, generally home fans are much quieter than the away lot, well, nowadays anyway...

Anyway...at an away game if you want to sing you usually piss off straight to the back and stand with the other singers, even if you don't know them. Can't really do that as the home fan due to the plastic cack and said plastic shite being took up.

i dont peersonally think we have enough people with the mindset at w.f.c take the bunch of people from behind the goal and put them away and theyll sing all day, put them in the banks' and some of them dont want to know unless we have scored or theres something controversial.

[big baz 1]

0-4

[priestley_saddler]

Exeter are a team similar in ability to us, so we shouldn't be playing them three times in quick succession, twice at home, and not winning any of them.

My only prediction is that it will be boring.

[bangsection]

I very rarely make match predictions (unless writing on the front page) but I had a dream about this game last night and that's good enough for me. So...

Walsall 5-8 Exeter

To be fair, I don't think people should immediately rush to criticise us for shipping 8, particularly since we managed to keep a clean sheet in the second half despite having three players sent off in the first. :shock:

And we were 8 down after half an hour so, you know, I'm taking positives from the game. Which, of course, hasn't happened yet.

[saddlerken]

Aston Villa have only the 2nd worst fans in the Milky Way behind the Wulfs

An abominable disgusting football club

(heaves)

[m&m]

I also predict a really dull game played out by 2 really poor teams. Both sets of supporters pleading for somebody/anybody to score to save us from extra time.

Prove me wrong Deano.

[bush360]

Attendance tonight will be less than the 2500 who watched Stourbridge last night, anyone who watched that, saw attractive positive football, not hoof up the middle to forwards that cannot jump

We will win I hope but it will not be what we have come to expect from a poor walsall football team

(heaves)

I fully agree!

(vomits)

As for the game - an inevitable exit looms!

[WFC_Rob]

it will not be what we have come to expect from a poor walsall football team

Surely that's a good thing!

[brummie saddler]

i have a weird feeling we will progress.

[latviancheese]

They are without Nardiello, Bauza, and Jake Taylor.

If we cant win this we should give up.

[longdogs]

Four changes, and it looks like we're playing 4-3-3 :

Walker, Beevers, Butler, Lancashire, Sadler; Taundry, Wilson, Chambers; Nicholls, Grigg, Macken.

subs : Smith, Jarvis, Paterson, Bowerman, Gnakpa, Peterlin, Grof
