I’ll join you for a drink in that Walsall saloon MK but I’ll be clutching at straws not drinking through them.

Hi all. Walsall fan here.
Interested to hear your thoughts on Tuesday night. I’m going for some bizarre reason.
I’d also check out our managers post match comments from Saturday where he stated ‘we aren’t in a relegation battle’ – which is one of the strangest things I’ve ever heard.
We have a few decent players, but a completely imbalanced squad. Morale is very low.
Our press and fans are suggesting Taylor might be sacked if we don’t beat you, with even a draw deemed not good enough.
Thoughts ?

Looking at your recent results I think you are in a relegation battle with ourselves and Oldham.
You are going to be very poor to not manage to finish above the pair of us.
Keith Hill inherited a very poor squad but he managed to get them fit enough to at least compete in games. He has brought 8 players in but they are either loanees with little experience or experienced guys that have lost their way. Most have not been playing so now we have a match fitness problem again.
Hill will get them fit and we may pick up some points later in the season when it will probably be too late.
It’s a good time to be playing us but if we do somehow beat you tomorrow you probably should be very afraid.

Hi Thanatos a few questions. Do you have a decent Chairman? DO you have decent directors? Does Walsall FC still own its own land and assets? If I remember correct your stadium was mirrored and planned similar to ours. I remember your directors coming over to Scunthorpes new stadium to view at the time when yours was being planned. I hope for your sakes your Club is being run much much better than ours has been under our current family owners.

Thoughts ?His job is almost certainly safe until Saturday evening.

Thanatos I wouldn’t worry about us.
Tell your keeper to take a deck chair, newspaper and a flask. Doubt he will be busy.

‘Shambles to be honest pal. We pay our old chairman £450k per year for the luxury of playing at our own stadium and it’s crippling.’
Uh-oh, just seen in to the future!

Well, your manager’s half right, you’re not in a relegation battle with us, only Oldham!

Another cracking stat from Iron Stats on Twitter. Iron have failed to win the last 10 times we have had a 5000 plus home attendance.
At least we won’t have to worry about that particular hoodoo for the rest of the season.

There you are NLI they don’t own the ground and pay handsomely to play in it,and we are playing rent free at the moment until we make profit.
….well that’s the version the Prawn is touting at the moment but you know what his track record is on delivering what he says he’ll do.

Well I guess we will have to wait for this year’s accounts, my guess is rent free.

It’s after this year that worries me.

Did you not notice he said they were paying the ex-chairman?
Theirs must have done same as ours.
And make no mistake, when Swann goes…and he will… we’ll be paying for our sh1thole.Happily, I hope to see the new owners pressure the landlord into either a low rent to reflect the facilities and their condition, or into doing much-needed renovations.
Either way, we dont pay that amount for what WE have. Walsall’s ground is better than ours. If they still have the Saddlers Club, way better.
Ground share coming up until Swann comes to his senses.
Now…how do I get to Brigg…?2 users thanked author for this post.
The Old Farmhouse pub almost next to the ground probably a good option. Soulless estate pub but more choices of beer and away fan friendly for all but local rivals. Probably have a couple pre match in there myself by way of an anesthetic before another 90 minutes of shite.
