In an attempt to try and crank up the crowd for the Fourth Round Tie, the club have announced price reductions for the game against Wimbledon a week on Saturday. The club have also decided to allocate away fans just 250 seats in the Banks' Stand, so the away end will also be available for Saddlers' supporters.

Saddlers Chief Executive Roy Whalley explained:

This is a big day for us, we are in the last 32 of the competition, and have been given a home tie that is winnable. We have to make home advantage count, and the means attracting a big crowd to the game. Admission prices have been reduced to £10.00 for adults and £5.00 for juniors and senior citizens, with a £10.00 Family Ticket available for the Banks's Stand, and for Family Season Ticket holders in the Purple Stand.
Wimbledon are expected to bring a maximum 250 spectators, who will be accommodated in part of the Banks's Stand. This means that we can 'free' the William Sharp Stand for home supporters, so that we have Saddlers fans behind each goal
