As Walsall itself is a shit hole and only has one pub in walking distance from the ground, is anyone stopping off and having a beer around New Street? Or can recommend any drining establishments from past experience?

The only place I've been arrested and thrown in the cells.
Twas a long time ago but, understandably, I've hated the place ever since.
PS I got a £25 fine for disorderly conduct (pissed)

The social club at Walsall can accomodate 300 away fans apparently. Would be keen to know if fans are meeting in New Street too as this is a game i'm also attending.

Happens to the best of us Kerry, at least once. Slap on the wrist and off you go laddy.

It was quite surreal. After I was let out - obviously after the coaches had left - I asked the desk jockey if there were any other Swindon fans arrested who may be able to give me a lift back.
One fella very kindly offered me a ride and we met up with 3 of his mates outside the station and headed straight for the nearest pub.
We'd only been in there 5 minutes when my recently released new best mate was convinced a couple of fellas at the bar were looking at him funny.
So he launched himself at them armed with a poker he had taken from the fireplace.

Last time the turnstyle bloke let me lift my kid over the turnstyle without paying. For this reason Walsall is ace.

Been in custody three times for disorderly behaviour, not for some years thankfully. The most annoying one was for being man handled out of Winchester railway station for being pissed and merely pushing the railway attendent. The lightest brush. Then there was the instance I got arrested in university halls with my Irish mate at the time, we'd let off one of those powder fire extinguishers, and I got given a caution and he was released with no consequence. Reckon, rankling suspicion, that he landed me completely in it and exonerated himself. Most embarrassing was on the night of my birthday, got caught defecating in someone's garden and the upshot was I got a magistrates appearance and an insert in the local paper Football wise, been ejected from Saints and Bournemouth for smuggling booze in. The folly of youth, but heh-ho, such is life!

The last time I went to Walsall was when it snowed. Got all the way there to find the game called off. Bastards.
