Me and a mate went to the 5th round of the FACup there in Feb 1975…serious crushing going on outside the turnstiles that day. Well, the crowd was 43,000.

I was there also with a few mates, remember the " Peaky blinders " throwing bricks at us through an opening between the roof and the back of the stand, so spent parts of the game with my hands on top of my head😳

Yeah I remember I was at that game. We lost 2-1 Howard Kendall wasting time for 20 mins to scrape them a win.
I was there that day as well
122 tickets sold they day before, even for a ■■■■ cup thats terrible.
How is that terrible. It’s terrible people are even going to the game. Franchise cup and the people going are sellout mugs. Fact.

Brilliant tickled me that did 
I will be there so I must be a sellout terrible person. I support Walsall FC not any cup competition or league Fact If we ever got relegated to non league I would still go everywhere supporting them Fact. You and others have their reasons for boycotting the cup which I respect please do not belittle people who wish to support the team Fact

Probably more than home fans!
read my mind! cya there!
There are reasons for it though. Many supporters of lower league clubs are taking a stand against this farce of a competition.
Anyone know if Gaffney is cuptied ?
Cup tied? It’s his laces need tying!
Well I’m not going to the Coventry game.
I’ve decided to go to a proper cup game tonight.
Emirates FA Cup preliminary round replay.
St Neots Town v Godmanchester Rovers for a place at home in the first qualifying round against Biggleswade Town.

Now that sounds proper hardcore mate.
Well I’m really glad I went a hat-trick from Prince Mutswunguma to put St Neots though.
Just look at the goals in this clip at 1min 20 secs and 2mins 50 secs. Worth £5 to get in just for those 2 goals alone
Hope I see some goals for us at Colchester on Saturday.

great. Nice too see you followed Walsall even at the ■■■■ games
Nothing to do with it being a ■■■■ game or competition.
I went to every single Walsall home game and plenty of aways in the cup before B teams were introduced but have been to none since. It’s painful to stay away but the reason I do is not because it’s not worth my time, it’s because of the EFL’s complete disregard to lower league football clubs and the fans wishes for their competition.
The inclusion of B teams in the competition devalues it and threatens to form a pathway for the elite to eventually introduce them into the league. While I won’t belittle anyone wanting to support the team, I would love to see every game in the B team cup have an attendance of 0 so they have no reason to justify the changes and can give us our competition back.
