In the absence of a reborn AFC Walsall, I would be like Sid and follow one or more other Walsall teams.

I think Albion is closer to Park Hall.

Assuming AFC Walsall didn't start up, I'd probably be spend equal time watching between Albion and Rushall.

Ditto

As being as I only live about 200yds from Dales Lane, it would have to be Rushall Olympic.

It doesn't bear thinking about, though!

I'd follow the fortunes of Liverpool more closely (the club of my youth), I'd go and watch Albion (nearby, and supported by my brother-in-law) and continue to follow Hibs (the club I watched during my university years). I'm just a slut! :twisted:

Im thinking on the same lines as Sid Rushall , Walsall Wood or maybe Hednesford. As for our so called bigger rivals no chance the only one ive got any time for is Blues and thats only because i met a load of then at our play off final we had a great laugh good banter but more importantly they were supporting the saddlers if only for one day

Great question Mr Saigon. Used to support my hometown team as a kid – AP Leamington – and the Dalglish-era Liverpool. Then it was all about Walsall.
Now I'd have to go with Leamington Town or a few others I've always had a soft spot for – maybe Kiddy down here or Hibernian up in Scotland. And, because there's a bit of Italian in me, Napoli (although they're on their arses at the moment).

I don't think I would ever support another team, Walsall are too dear to my heart.

If I fancied attending a football match, it would probably be Chester as its down the road, and I have a real soft spot for this city. If not then I would try and get to some Everton or Liverpool games.

If not AFC Walsall then probably Hednesford and/or Chasetown (the nearest to where I grew up, In Chase Terrace). It wouldn't be the same though.

Not even got Bloxwich Strollers or Blakenall as an option any more.
Chuck in the demise of Bloxwich Town and WS3 is a footy graveyard.

Tell me about it..........

Sporting Khalsa now occupy Abbey Park on the Mossley but they are scarcely a community club. The Red Lion ground in Somerfield Road now plays host to a Sunday morning team and youth teams on Sunday afternoons (F.C. Strollers) and in midweek (Bloxwich Saddlers).

If not it would have to be either Albion or Leicester City, have always liked seeing how leicester get on since i was little cus some of my family are from there! Even better since one of our best players has gone there and is doing extremely wrell there!

but unless walsall ever ceased i will always be a saddler thru n thru!

really dont like the thought of it but if it really did happen I'd still need to find a football fix.


Either Cov City because they are my most loacl of Pro clubs, Wycombe because i've lived here for three years (uni) or........

Leamington because their ground is 2 mins from my front door.



Alternativley I'll follow Warwickshire Cricket Club. I've always liked them but footballs always been my priority.
