I was at the game and suffered with everyone else but just couldn't bring myself to indulge in the usual doom gloom & drama that presents itself on this board after every single defeat. The best post was from AM lambasting all those Walsall fans that didn't go - from the comfort of his PC!
The FA Cup is losing its edge imo, nobody goes to watch it, shocks are less reported unless its a Premiershite team that has lost and generally its lost all that romance. Think back to the Walsall games against Northwich Victoria, Slough etc, well supported games. Now think of the recent history against Lincoln, Macclesfield where hardly any Walsall fans bothered to show. If under 2k Walsall fans show up, it makes sense that the players are hardly going to bust a gut. Paid job or not, they are only human.
Slight difference between Brum and Bolton methinks, you are probably working, I'm on a fixed income pension, spending on petrol and entrance fees has to be carefully balanced over a season for really old farts like me! :mrgreen: Come back on here when you are a pensioner, will you still be going to every match?
