If by a miracle, we managed to reach the P/O final.
Would you attend Wembley ?
For me, after the Bristol City under Smith, I would probably not.

I can’t even bare thinking about that yet. It makes me sick to think we will potentially have 3 more games to play after Crewe. I think we all need a long break this summer, never known a season take so much out of me, Saturdays antics in the 100th minute summed that up perfectly :sweat_smile:

Is it Whitsun weekend? I’m away, so no I won’t be attending. If I wasn’t away I’m not sure if I would go or not.

Been keeping my eye on flight prices and availability . Bank holiday makes it a bit expensive but I can’t see me not coming over if we are in the final.
Hopefully though I can watch two other teams fighting it out on the telly, satisfied in the knowledge that we are already promoted :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

I would, but we won’t anyway

Of course

I’d probably have to sell a kidney and put one of the kids up for adoption, but yeah I’d obviously go. I couldn’t not take the kids and let’s face it we don’t have many of those kind of occasions.

I do feel it would be a bit tainted. That could change if we won though!

I think our game would be on the bank holiday Monday.

You are probably right, but I don’t think you are taking into account the feeling of despair.

I know I’m not thinking clearly right now when it comes to Walsall FC.

Nope. I would if I could but I can’t.

[edit: last time I took a long weekend at short notice, dropped $3000 on airfares and a ticket, spent three days travelling for two in the UK and watched us lose. I’d do it again in a heartbeat but I really am unavailable]

I am also aware, but TBH feel similar.

As someone who lives far away and has to watch games on TV rather than attend live. It is more stressful watching on TV or trying to avoid watching than it is going to the game. TV commentary adds to the stress, so I switch the sound off.

Not a chance. The Bristol city debacle was bad enough, the only good thing to come out of it was me and the Mrs had a memorable weekend in London, only spoiled by the match itself. The form we are in at the moment we wouldn’t stand a chance against Notts county etc in the playoff games, nevermind getting through to Wembley.

No. Preparations for the Staffordshire County Show take precedence.

Yes but not with the elation and excitement of being there with 30,000 others supporting the Saddlers in 2015. More with reluctance, dread and fear and probably 8,000 other Saddlers.

Shame it can’t be at a smaller neutral ground, Wembley for me doesn’t hold the romance it should.

I’m not sure we could attract any greater than 15k.

I can’t believe that people wouldn’t go based upon one game ten years ago under completely different management.

Surely in a one off game where a win would mean promotion you wouldn’t let a loss a decade ago get in the way of seeing us get promoted?! Isn’t that what we go through all the mediocrity and , pain of supporting a lower league club etc every other year is building to?

If i stopped going to grounds I’d seen Walsall lose at i wouldnt be watching us very of often and having a seaon ticket would be pointless

Totally agree. Been to Wembley 6 times since the rebuild, much preferred the Millenium as a day out. The area round the stadium is a dump, and the bars total rip-offs.
Plenty of great days out and more suitably sized stadia for a league two play-off around the country.
