Rugeley Villa Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 I wonder what kind of crowds they could get in the top-flight. Isn't Walsall bigger than Wolverhampton? as someone already said its quite a bit smaller than Wolverhampton. they will never get big crowds because they have villa wolves and west brom on their door step, and all 3 of those clubs draw quite a lot of support from Walsall especially villa and wolves. never really thought much of Walsall and got no ill feeling towards them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted February 1, 2014 Moderator Share Posted February 1, 2014 The Holte End has more seats than Bescot stadium. Not particularly helpful I know, but it's a fact I like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Their crowds have plummeted in the last few years...the used to get regular 5-6k crowds but now they only get above 4k if their is sizeable away support. Criminal given the football they're playing. Disillusionment against Bonser stems from January 2008 when they were on the verge of top 6 in league, sold Scott Dann and Danny Fox on the last day of the window and didn't replace them. Their crowds have dropped off from that month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxjackle Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I follow Walsall as a second team- grew up near there and went to school in Walsall. I don't see a clash at all- we never play them, and when Im on the train back from villa past the ground you always overhear chat about how Walsall are doing and its pretty much always supportive. I'll definitely go to the JPT final if I can as I now live nearish to Wembley so its close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbie09 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Likewise Walsall are my second team mainly due to having a connection to the academy. Looking forward to several trips to Wembley in the next few months with Villa, the Saddlers as well as a couple of gigs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post bully Posted January 28, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted January 28, 2015 I was there last night, it was a fantastic night for everyone involved with the club. Plenty of tears of happiness were shed. I will be at Wembley on 22nd March to cheer em on and I know that I wont be the only Villa fan there supporting them. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turnbull Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Yep, good luck to the Saddlers. I'm another one with a soft spot for Walsall, mainly due to the fact that back in the day they were always on Star Soccer once a season, usually the 2nd week and as I kid I used to feel sorry for them! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 I like Walsall to do well, there are a few teams I keep an eye out for, Yeovil, Walsall, and the mighty Shrews. Shrewsbury Town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 A couple of lads I work with are Walsall fans and I'm pleased for them. They were both at the semi final the last time Walsall nearly made it to Wembley: One of them said he was convinced that they were going to Wembley (1984) that year because they held Liverpool to a 2-2 draw at Anfield in the first leg.

VillaChris Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Sorry I didn't catch that Rev....did you just say free Chiltern train to Wembley doorstep on March 22nd? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 If you slip me £20 then I think I can arrange for a free train. We do stop closer to Wembley Stadium than London Underground do too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ingram85 Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Used to be my second team but my old boss was a fan and he is the biggest word removed I've ever met and one of the lowest forms of life on the planet so I now have an irrational dislike for them through no fault of their own. Cheers Clarkie you gunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
