I love their moaning, but they are probably getting the cheapest away ticket prices in the the league.

Seriously though, genuinely think you're missing a trick not putting prices up on Tuesday. Joe Cole's one of the best players of the last decade and probably England's best left back ever IMO. And with the increased revenue you might be able to sign John Salako again.
Am I reading this wrong, or is this Numpty saying Joe Cole is the best left back England ever had. Admittedly I had a bad nights sleep last night, and I'm still half asleep.

Tweet by kieran Crowley - A lot of questions on our budget. With attendances up, these signings have been possible. You are doing this. Let's hope it continues. #PUSB

Well done city fans we are getting this promotion not the owners !

I think the clue he is on the wind-up is when he talks about signing John Salako isn't it?

Seemed obvious I thought.

Tinpot Shithouse of a club, can't stand them. Now that we're pulling ourselves around and making a resurgence, no bugger likes it, it's absurd.

We have heritage, history and a legacy: onwards and upwards, back to where we belong. PUSB.

Their frigging stadium is just one big advertising board and a shithouse at that. I am getting fed up with this, we have more money and its cheater bollocks. Seems like they are happy to have fuck all to spend and happy in their league shitty existence. Crack on, we want out of this shit league

Exactly it builds up rivalries which we haven't had for a long time because we've been non threatening for too long. I would rather have this than fans of other teams pity us.

I genuinely do not , or have ever cared one bit about Walsall .
They always slag Coventry off on social media , because they have no rivalry with anybody and look forward to their 2 games a decade with Wolves , so they want to create a rivalry with us .
Fact is they never say boo when we go there or they come here .
In short , who cares what they think

I do care. There's always good among the bad, but their (Walsall's) forum has the highest, or most vocal, number of tinpot supporters out of all of the L1 and L2 forums I have read over the last couple of years. They seem to hold a grudge about everything and everyone, including themselves!!

Walsall are a small club, who can't raise a decent home crowd even when punching above their weight. They are destined to always live in the shadows of their betters, and they know it.

More than any game this season, I would love us to smash them out of sight, though it will take a very special performance.

You could have described us there.

Nobody sees us as their rivals and look at how much stick is given to Villa, Fester and other local sides.

Shrewsbury is their usual wrecking spree...all my old mates growing up used to love going there to ruffle some feathers.
I went with them a couple of times it was a bit tasty given the overall numbers involved

That's the sad point really. Attendances are a bit up atm because Vile are so shit & nobody else is showing any promise locally...they tend to pick up the wavers from other clubs at such times.
However, I was a guest in the club suite after the match early this season & those there are those closest to the club & all are very nice, friendly & passionate footy fans. it's a true family club - one that those fans with intelligence know will be unlikely to ever rise beyond 1/2 way in the championship due to income potential & fan base. A bit like Tranmere with Liverpool & Everton.

Potential dictates that a major investor will arrive there at some point. Especially if they continue their decline

you are correct if I was a rich man looking to buy a club you could do a lot worse than them, they have a great set up off the field it's just the football side that is poorly run.

Just the third Championship team we've beaten this season, as well as beating 8 teams and drawing 2 against the top 10 of League 1. We love a 'big' game.

Good luck for the season, after Tuesday.

Doubt it, we're tinpot remember.

If it had been yesterday it would have been well over 2000. Probably around 1000 on Tuesday I guess, maybe a little more.

We sold out at Brentford yesterday so many will have spent up for the month!

To be honest, I'm guessing your average is about 5000 at home, 1000 away is still a decent turnout.

We used to have one of the highest away to average home attendance ratios in the country. Not so much now though.

Spent out?
I am on a low wage but still manage to go to every home game and 75% of away games.....
And before you ask yes I have a large mortgage 2 kids at Uni and wife.......

£20 for a ticket and £6.00 return on the train, cheap as their Friday night Take Away,

You don't think that people claim to literally not have the money for the tickets and train do you? It's what you would prefer to spend the money on instead...substitution effect.

And I like going pretty big when i go to games too, so it ends up being a lot more than that

Fuck all to do with gold medals.
It is to do with what you care about, obviously don't care enough about their team .
FFS could go well ahead in the league if you win this game need to show the players you all care..

Walsall have only sold 375 tickets and their fans are making excuses why they cant go.
my favourite one is the travelling ffs. Its 30 min down a motorway. Tin pot club and if they get promoted they will be straight back down again
