The cameras come to Bescot for the first time since the opening day of the season on Saturday 5 April for a 5:35 kick off with First division leaders Portsmouth.

Club blow big chance

TheSaddlersFC were the first to react angrily to the idiotic ticketing policy the club have put in place for the Wolves game.

The online community of Saddlers fans seems to whole heartedly disagree with the policy of you have to buy a ticket for the Brighton game to get one for the Wolves game.

This has seemingly ensured that the record attendance will not be set on Saturday and that their will be embarrassingly low turn out from Saddlers fans.

Playing with the pitch....

	A method Southampton have used in the past that involves holes being drilled at six inch intervals (which are then filled with sand) is what is being tried out.
The hallowed Bescot turf has been dogged with problems ever since 1990, then again as elder fans who disliked the move to Bescot have said in the past, what do you expect from a former sewage site. The reality is their is no short term fix to the problem and steps will have to be taken in the summer to sort the pitch out.

Rumours fly about like Wildfire...

The Saddlers FC has been watching the transfer rumours very closely, and the last week has seen us linked with Eric Sabin (Swindon Town) Steve Hayward (Barnsley) and Dundee's Argentinean forward Sara.

Although the Sabin move seems to have been idle message board gossip, the Argentinean Sara has been linked with Milwall, Wolves, Coventry and our selves, with Coventry emerging as the only real interested party.

The Hayward rumour seems to be the most intriguing one, and a move that TheSaddlersFC recommend you watch very closely.

Cup details...

The FA Cup replay against Reading is taking place on Tuesday 14th January at the Madejski Stadium, Tickets for adults are priced at £18, while OAPS, Juniors and Students can get in for £15. The Saddlers will face Wimbledon at home if they progress.

New Loo's for the Ladies

The Club have announced that extra female toilets have been put in the bankss stand. These new facilities are to be found underneath Block E, on the half way line (official Site Link)
