8810 (4,091 Owls)

Own goal I presume?
They will deffo get at least 3 or 4 without reply, think the 'gate' guesses are a little overboard, we may hit just under 5,000
due to a huge contingency from Hillsborough..who will be outsung as usual by our fanatical 'home' support..I feel sure the rustling of black & Cypriot flags will drown out the baying mob from the North of Steel city!! :oops:

I dont think so in reality.
As I have said on another thread, the pigs have only once scored over 2 goals away from home once this season in 11 matches.
Walsall 0 Pigs 2

[We-ARE-Walsall]

Fancy our chances of getting something out of this to be honest, probably 1-1 with a very very late equaliser for Wednesday.

[priestley_saddler]

I wouldn't be surprised if we got a result, but I think it depends how Wednesday approach the game.

3-1 Wednesday.

Just under 5,000?! Wednesday have already sold 3,000 odd tickets and they'll be a good 4,000+ home fans present I'm sure of it.

I reckon 7,500-8,000. I'd be surprised if it was much less.

[latviancheese]

Ill be there, first game for a while.

Scrape a draw, 1-1. I expect a scrappy game.

I think itll be just over 6 thousand attendance wise. If we hit 8 thousand ill be very very suprised.

[Darth Vader]

So you'll think they'll be under 3K home fans for this fixture?!

[latviancheese]

So you'll think they'll be under 3K home fans for this fixture?!

Well i see they have 3600 apparently. I thought it was 2,700 for some odd reason.

Maybe we will be closer to 7, but i bet the first number is 6 :wink:

I'll be you it isn't. Even people who don't go any other game of the year go on Boxing Day. 7K + easy on.

[latviancheese]

Is Sheff going then? :wink:

Nothing would please me more than to get a 7k gate. Other than a win infront of the 7k gate.

[Welsh_Saddler]

[quote="latviancheese"]Is Sheff going then? :wink:

Of course he's going - early start though, it's a 1.00pm kick off at Stamford Bridge......... :lol:

Sorry but your all talking utter plop, even with 3.5K of away support, we all know the 'gate' will be 4,079 as mentioned above, as we now employ the 'gate receipts' accountant from Notts County......... :lol: :lol: :lol:

In all honesty, we are that bad at the moment I can't forsee 3k home fans enduring this defeat, so it may well climb to a few over 6K which will still be a very high turn out, much to the joy of our 'puppet board' who will gloat that we are such a successful club!!!

[rusky]

Well I'm going for 9,224 in attendance on a balmy boxing day to see the mighty Saddlers win 2-1.

Merry Christmas one and all

Looks like you've started the "merry" a bit early :D

NINE THOUSAND??????? get this man to the nearest mental institution straight away...He even suggests we could actually WIN a match!....an I thought I wuz the barmy one!!!

[derbysaddler]

Walsall 3 - 1 Wednesday.

Routine win, easy.

[deanonev69]

For some strange reason, i fancy us for something out of this: i put it down to being up at stupid o'clock to beat the rush at Sainsburys!

2-1 to the Saddlers with a 7,337 crowd!

[Aldridge_saddler]

I reckon about 8000 fans, as there are going to be a large percentage of people whom want to avoid the missus on boxing day! Especially considering they got the new dyson as a present!

Anyway I reckon 2-1 last minute winner, Karma!.

MMF and cheesey to sing "panic on the streets of Darlaston" during the half time break!

[chestersaddler]

Unusual for me to predict a loss, but I just can't see us getting owt (as our northern friends might say) 1-2 infront of 8435.

Megson changing his normal team preparation allowing the players to stay with their families on Christmas night and travelling to Walsall on Monday.
