    Indeed mate. Reckon we'll have another poor season mind you, with the 1,500+ idiotic fans still staying away our funds are at an all time low. League Two club punching above our weight atm...

    It's like the 1800 Port Vale fans refusing to buy season tickets in protest. I wonder how many will go back on their threats and buy one?

    saddler there is a cautioary tale. i can remember another club continuously boycotting home games, chester city, and where are they now, obliviom. get your lads to see an element of sense. now wrexham have left their players unpaid, what goes on there. in a credit crunch clubs need their fans, all rheir fans, and clubs forget that old maxim, that paying punters make pay days possible. floreat salopia

    Right idea with the season tickets though. The catchment area obviously makes it pretty hard. I hope you can have a decent season just for midlands footie in general- here's to us joining you <cheers>

    Tried countless times...and failed. Fans say they won come back until Jeff Bonser's gone. All started when were in the Play-offs in our fist League One season back, after winning League Two. Come January (around 4th-6th) we sold Scott Dann & Danny Fox, our best two players. Obviously we went right off the boil and finished comfortably mid-table. It's safe to say if we'd have kept those two we MIGHT have been in the Championship the season after.

    Yeah good idea, hasn't really took off though. We sold 500 of those free U18 tickets (me included, way!), pretty poor in all honesty. Though the deal ended in May! Why I ask?!

    And yes! I really do hope you lot get promoted, cracking games when we play each other. Probably our biggest rivals apart from the hatred towards Wolves. Haven't been to your new gaff either...

    Have to disagree there aj. Chester are on their way back from oblivion (having walked their league last season) and will be in the BSP before long. The fans have returned now that Mr Vaughan has gone and the club is clean again. Sometimes you have to demolish to rebuild and Chester's fans were right to recognise that.

    i am absolutely delighted to hear chester are on their way back, but the point i am making is they should never have gone to oblivion, it was protesting fans who stayed away which led to chesters downfall. i would not wish to see that scenario repeated further up the league. surely walsall fans have more sense, do they not

    Maybe if we turn over Derby(could happen in all honesty with Clough's dire team and impatient fans)we'll cross swords in the League cup :)
