The Saddlers open the new season away at Yeovil. First league action at the Bescot sees the visit of Scunthorpe on August 16th. Sandwiched between the two is a Carling Cup first round clash at home to Darlington on Tuesday August 12th.

There’s a Boxing Day clash at home to Stockport to look forward to, a New Year trip to Carlisle on January 3rd - and the Leeds games are 25th October away and 31st January at home respectively. In an echo of a previous promotion season, a final day home encounter with Oldham is in prospect on May 2nd.

Full fixtures available from the BBC website - who this morning beat the official site by a clear couple of minutes to publishing the fixtures first.
