As a Walsall fan I agree. I think there is a section within both of our support bases who suffer with unrequited hate. Our mob would love Wolves to hate us and a couple of years ago I think Wolves were irritated but Albion will always be their rivals. Even our traditional lower league rivals...

Walsall fan here. You were the better side. But you stopped playing in the second half. First half you were playing some nice fluent football and with a better final ball could have been leading by more. Second half you seemed more interested in attempting to fiddle the game away and try to...

Yep. Spot on. And once again you lot were class in joining in the tribute yesterday. Thank you.

Walsall fan in peace. Sensible reaction on here. It was a really good cup tie, could have gone either way but was written in the stars that Nicky Devlin would score today. The young fan who’s life was celebrated in the second minute was really special to Nicky (think Jermaine Defoe and...

I'm obviously going to defend Adam here. In a 17 year career with 450 first team appearances he has been sent off twice. I think suggesting he is a thug is harsh. Yesterday, we had a player carried off following a a very cynical foul by Page. Understandably, that hasn't been mentioned on here...

We (Walsall) made a £400k profit and didn't sell anyone. The recent financial results were up to May I.e before Bradshaw and Henry were sold. We budget to make a small profit every year and have succeeded in 11 of the last 12 years. This year's bigger than usual profit was boosted by FA Cup and...

Walsall fan here. That was the worst we've played for weeks but maybe you stopped us playing as we have been. You bossed it for an hour but didn't really create many clear cut chances. We could and should have won it in the end but that would have been an injustice based on the balance of play...

Standard of officiating is shocking, absolutely shocking at this level and it is getting worse. I don't think there are any cheats, just games when their incompetence randomly swings 80/20 in one direction on the handful of big decisions. A pattern that seems to have emerged is a first 30...

Walsall fan here. Looking forward to tomorrow. Both sides have hit a bit of form of late and are looking upwards rather than at the gloomy prospect of hitting the fourth division. We're beginning to gel a bit after losing virtually the entire team who got us within a point of automatic...

Walsall fan here. If we don't do it this year, then we won't be up there next year. On our budget, the planets align to get us to a point of challenging every ten years or so. A mixture of cast-offs and decent kids sometimes come together to create a decent side, provided there's a manager...

oh please do. We've been looking for someone to hate us forever. We try and hate everyone on the basis that one day it will be reciprocated but whilst we occasionally irritate people it is only ever a passing hate that soon moves on or back to more 'traditional' rivals. Anyway, back to the...

Our best bet is that Rico Henry gets sold for a good amount and gets loaned back to us for the rest of the season. If we lose Bradshaw, Sawyers and Henry then we return to being a pretty average third division side. Some decent players amongst the rest but not quite the game changers we have in...

I thought you and Wigan had the upper hand until I saw you against us on Tuesday. Our cup run is taking its toll on a small squad and I suspect we will lose one or two of our best players in January. We were really leggy on Tuesday following the big cup game and we were probably at only 70%...

I won't be far out. Walsall fans tend not to buy in advance unless they absolutely have to. Very rarely needed to so as tomorrow is pay on the day, it is a business as usual walk-up for the majority.

We won't bring 2,000. People who needed to, prioritised Saturday in the cup over tomorrow night. Nothing disgraceful, or disrespectful towards you just an economic choice a lot have to make and in Walsall the magic of the cup lives on. We'll bring around 1,500. Proportionately just under a...

You're right. No idea. Which is exactly why those of us that haven't followed events at your club as closely as you lot will have will pick and mix the bits that suite. For us, a club who won't spend more than 50% of its income on players wages, always sell our best players whilst having a...

On the "break from the FL", at the risk of sounding like one of those ignorant types I spoke of before, did the league not break their own rules by allowing you to play more than 30 miles from Coventry? Not saying you should be grateful or anything and certainly not on the scale of the way they...

King o kings 204 1990. We were skint following the move from Fellows Park. Some right dodgy firms that were involved in the move left us bereft and our "saviour" (his words) our still owner/chairman brought the freehold to the stadium for £400k ( I.e what is currently a single year's rent). He...

Moves around (market and index linked) but is around £400,000 and paid directly to the pension fund of our owner/chairman. Hence the degree of "rent envy" you see on there.

I think they are typical of a football message-board when a wind-up merchant from another club provokes a debate. There follows a generally bunch of ignorant posts because nobody knows the ins and outs of other clubs. Funnily enough CCFC's first contribution to that thread was to respond to a...
