One Step Away - pieandabovril - 08-01-2015

With all that's been going on at the Hawthorns,can we just spare a thought for Walsall FC? Fantastic first leg result last night against Preston,and they are now just one step away from Wembley,which I believe would be their first ever visit to the Stadium.Great achievement for a Club I have always had a soft spot for.Good luck in the second leg!

Great shout, Pie!
I used to live in Wednesbury, walking distance from the old Fellows Park ground - I could see the floodlights from my house - and when Albion were away I used to go and watch Walsall. They had a great programme shop there too.
Best of luck to the Saddlers.

I watched last night's match via Sky Go.  A refreshing change from the usual top four bias usually serverd up by Sky.  No diving, no attemts to get fellow professionals sent off, just good, honest endeavour, and a more than a few flashes of entertaining football.  A refreshing change.  It would be great to see the Saddlers ptogress, and earn their place in the final.  I've always had a soft spot for Walsal.  Best of luck to ya.
