W 2-0 vs Swindon Town (H) - Carabao Cup R1 - Tue 9th Aug, 7:45pm

Anyone planning to get the train to the match tonight - due to a burst water main no services are passing through Walsall this morning. Currently Birmingham trains are going to and from Tame Bridge only, with bus replacement services from there to Rugeley.

The service may be more normal by this evening, but West Midlands Railway say they are expecting disruption until the end of the day.

Agree , loads of seats left it will be a low crowd

That means the Stadium Suite won’t be open either and there will be a bit of a crush (and longer queues) in the Community Hub.

That’s where me and mand will be heading I’m going to try and get there as early as I can probably around 6.15-6.30.

Stadium Suite is usually open even when the middle/upper is closed

It wasn’t against Coventry, and they made that announcement about it not being open after games any more, so will they bother tonight when they’re expecting a smaller crowd?

Same as any other season I don’t care what the score is, just as long as we get something out of it as far as the team knitting together is concerned.

It now says that buses are replacing trains all day between Rugeley and Tame Bridge. All trains through Walsall cancelled.

Your attitude gives me the needle, you old sew-and-sew.

The next round could see us face Villa, Wolves, Albion, Blues, Newcastle or Everton. Obviously we need a lucky draw for that but it should be an incentive. I’d expect to see some changes but will be disappointed if we make a lot and lose.

Ignore him, he’s talking bobbins

Still debating on whether or not to go… im like 60% feeling a stop at home and watch it on the box!

Except it’s not on the box for you to watch - no iFollow stream tonight (Carabao Cup not league).

I think im still gona sack it off. Sometimes the solo 45min drive from Shrewsbury feels far, especially when theres a cold beer in the fridge.

Thought it was saturdays game Andy …

PS
Stand corrected Andy , just watched the latest official interview with the 2 chairmen , and yes he’s there tonight

Would probably of gone tonight with the new wave of optimism sweeping over the place ( cup games ) …buts it’s my birthday and had the day off work and been for a few drinks and a lovely meal at The Nelson in Burntwood with Mrs R&W
