I used to live on Brunel Close in Whitnash as a matter of fact!!!!


My term time home is High Wycombe cuz of university but when i'm not there i reside in little old Southam now.

Leam's ground is practically smack in the middle of Southam and Whitnash. its quite posh too for a team only 4 years old (well sort of 4 years old!)

What about you?

was thinking Cockerney saddler doesn't really make me think of Whitnash, more West Ham :)

Not sure whether I'd be that interested in football without WFC.I suppose if I wanted to take in a live match then the Meadow would be the obvious choice but that would be a long from saying I'd support them.

If we sank below confererence north/south, I might admit defeat and look elsewhere. I'm from Friar Park and would end up (like the rest of my family) as a Bag Lady. I used to stnad at the top of the Brummy rd with siblings and remember when they were genuine contenders - we used to play at home on alternate saturdays to WBA. It'd never be the same though - they'd always be a substitute for the saddlers.

Probably go and watch Hednesford Town or Sutton Coldfield Town if we didn't have an AFC Walsall.

Cheers Geoff, I think I'd follow a local team Pelsall Villa, Rushall Olympic and the like. Albion represent the only league club I would ever contemplate watching on a semi regular basis although to say I would support them is going too far. :wink:

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).


Cheers mate :wink:

I admire your loyalty :D

But if I had added a 'no-one' option it would have been flooded and made the results far less interesting.

Now it's possible to see that our natural allies are Albion and possibly Villa rather than Blues and other league clubs. There's a large surge towards lower league clubs too, reflecting our collective loyalty to Walsall further. :wink:

Well saddlersam, I've been living in London for about 10 years now, hence the Cockerney Saddler bit. No Hammers or Chelsea for me, although I can see Highbury from my living room window.
But my home village is Bishops Tachbrook, and have been following Leamo's progress for a while (my dad is mates with the chairman, Mick Brady). Fantastic to see the club up and running again after all these years – it'd been too long.
So, are you an Old Mint type of guy?

Bitter Tree Hugger. Notts County is ideally situated for Forest fans devoid of a club. You could still drink in all the same pubs and go to the same chippy.
