Walsall have today learned they will be getting another £10,000 present this New Year, after the promotion showdown with the Franchise was chosen for TV coverage.

The Saddlers game at the National Hockey Stadium being chosen by Sky means that the club will get at least £70,000 in the second half of the season, as it will be their third League appearance on the box this season, at the rate of £30,000 for each home game and £10,000 for the away fixture. Let’s hope that the windfall goes towards team building.

The match has been moved from March 24 to 4pm on March 25.
