bradowl Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Walsall will be missing out on some decent money, playing Saturday we would probably have taken 2,000+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went 1-0 up early doors, think it was Roger Wylde who scored and then we proceeded to get hammered 5-1. The coach I was on then had most of the windows smashed before leaving the town, making for a rather cold journey back to Sheffield. Happy days! Wasn't that a replay of an earlier fixture that was abandoned due to a cloudburst? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted Harrogate away because it'd be a new ground, but then I remembered that there'd be no fans allowed in which would be annoying, but fortunately I then also remembered that they'll be playing their opening games at Doncaster anyway so I didn't care.

That corner was the official away end in the 70s must have been difficult getting them in the ground without anything kicking off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our coach was fine. Have a vague memory as a kid of going to Walsall in the late 70,s ad a kid and game abandoned at half time due to rain? Couldnt undetstand how a game stopped for rain, was this 1977 then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For about 10 years after that there was a song regularly sung at away matches. “We went to Walsall, we got wet, wo ho, wo ho”. “We went to Walsall, we got wet, wo ho, wo ho”. “We went to Walsall, we got wet, the referee was a f***in get” ”Wo ho , wo ho, wo ho”. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re groundsharing with Doncaster, unless you count a decent day out as a trip back in time to 1950. Was going to post the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwellOwl Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Last time at Walsall away... comfortably winning 1-0 and then they scored 2 90+ minute goals including a HUGE deflection. Glad those days are behind us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
