Ta, I wonder whether the further drop is due to it now having some extra roof!

Still never set foot in the place, been to Asda next door a couple of times!
I have driven past it a few times but never been inside, looks a typical old school Northern outpost TBH with small terraces and one slightly bigger main stand.

1,500 tickets allocation @ £15 a pop

Reckon we’d get more? Absolute joke only 1500 if a max

When did we last take 1500+ to Walsall?

In some fans’ eyes it’s almost like we’ve become Leeds United overnight with regards to away followings.

1500 should be ample - as a comparison, Newport made it to general sale which was a far smaller allocation and is also closer to Swindon. Then again, maybe all those anti vaxxers boycotting made the difference Wink

Yes, Newport is closer to Swindon. But Walsall is closer to the hundreds of Town fans like me who are dotted around the country so I'm not sure that copmarison holds up as strongly as one might think. That said, you're right in thinking we don't normally take 1500 and as such, people's reactions are a little unwarranted. Previous highs have been 1204 in 2014, 962 in 2012 and 913 in 2017.

Will be interesting to see the uptake for this but I'm expecting those 1500 to sell out based on the feel good factor and the chance of getting through to R3.

We have taken over 1,000 to Walsall on 3 occassions (913, 297, 1,072, 1,204, 422, 962, 853, 735, 622, 781, 1,075) in the last 11 meetings there, on 3 other occassions we have had around 900+. Under PdC (possibly a comparable feel good season) we took 962 there with the highest in recent years being 1,204.

Away at Stevenage we took 1,005 in our previous visits we have taken on average 300, under PdC we took 926.

Scunthorpe away we took 850, the previous 3 visits we barely broke 300.

Northampton away we took 962 (limited ticket sell out), 50% of recent times we sell out our usual 1,300+ allocation there and would have done this year too given the chance.

Bristol Rovers away we sold out our entire allocation of 705 but normally would take double that amount given the allocation.

When we play Oldham away we have had at most 320 away fans with as few as 170 for the last 4 away ties there, this season we took 635 so double the normal plus extra.

At Crewe we took 735, in the last 4 visits we have averaged 300 away fans and our previous highest was just 500 for the tie there.

I think its very feasible that we will sell our entire allocation witht he good away form and feel good factor currently at the club.

Thanks PV…so on those recent Walsall followings it would be some achievement to sell out the 1500 but certainly not impossible given the uplifts we’ve seen on historic followings this season.

Hopefully we can pack it out and get ourselves in the hat for round three.

Good stats JJ and would love to know how you find out away totals over recent seasons.

They could be in for a shock then. They reckon we’ll struggle to bring 500.

£15 a ticket can have an impact at boosting sales too…

I've been up there a few times and I've felt they underdeclared the town fans by quite a bit.

Absolutely, I think we have a great chance of selling out but if you base it solely on games at Walsall recently then we may well struggle but looking at this seasons bigger picture I would be surprised if we weren't within 50 or so of selling out.
