I have had a roll of honour done Andy. Of all those who contributed, To the cost of getting it all done which. Issa handed over the sum of 5k to pay for all the vinyls
I have had Royston’s name added in the loving memory section of said roll of honour which will be a prominent feature. On one of the walls
I thought it only right that Royston was. Remembered in recognition of what he did for fans for many years , and was. Proud to have him featured in our efforts, and it’s a fitting tribute to him from us at Issa
Why isn’t the wall split for Walsall produce (players that have gone left Walsall and had very successful careers, i.e. Ricketts, Dann) and Walsall Legends (has to have played a minimum of 100 games, been a fan’s favourite and a true saddler, i.e. Leitao).
Surely a community room should celebrate our community and the players we have produced/developed
People will be surprised at how big the area is now
It incorporates. A new set of changing rooms also for. The Astro pitches
On another note The perimeter wall immediately in front of. Where the. Walkway to the Bescot bar was. Ie the tunnel leading to the bar from lower tier , has partly been knocked down, To create a walkway onto the playing surface
This is where the away teams will enter the pitch from they will change and shower in the new facilities, they won’t use. The. Away dressing rooms. For the time being. Only Walsall players and officials will emerge from the. Original entrance.
As said the area is huge now and. Many players will feature in the vinyl skins being produced , Think fans will love the finished product
I think it is one of those were you aren’t going to please everyone. There are obviously stand out players, but everyone has different opinions. Like the criteria you set for being a legend. It’s fine, but there are always going to be exceptions. Andy Rammell for instance, only played 60 odd games for us, but I definitely consider him to be a legend.
It’s a case of doing whatever they can to fit in with the Covid rules. It must be an absolute nightmare, but seems like the club are doing a pretty good job of it all.
I think Mr Fellows and Bill Harrison might qualify otherwise is there a place for a rogues gallery ? On second thoughts Ken Wheldon probably deserves an honourable mention
Ah Bill Harrison a true saviour of the club unfortunately son Ron was not as good. I’ve got a great picture somewhere of the club officials in the time of Bill Moore when Bill Harrison was just a director for the first time. It’s notable because he’s sitting on the front row with a fag on his hand. Who the he’ll was he I hear the younger supporters asking. Think Terry Ramsden without the style.
