Walsall - 'Alrite mate, we're not from Biiiiirmingham"

So off into the land of Horrible accents.

Walsall vs Leicester City. Hardly a mouthwatering prospect, but a pretty local game for us which meant we could get the train there and back, which is a rarity for a mid-week match. It was also, for most of us, a new ground!

Afternoon came, we hit town, and as usual ended up in the SPOONS. A few beers, Miguels (Obviously, pound a bottle, credit crunch n' all that), Jelly Baby's and some Jager we were ready for the short walk up to the Train station.

Needless to say this short walk was done via the Off-Licensce, for the much needy cans-on-the-train.

Potter gets into some Red Stripe whilst Ramp goes back to the ol' favourite Pikey Juice (Strongbow!)

Also Joining me for this one, was Lil'Dave. Of course. Mr 100%.Joe & Ched also joined me, and shockingly Tom wasn't driving to a match! He was accompanied by Bert, as ever wearing the daft hat.Ched, clearly, wasn't thinking about the evening of football that was ahead!A few bottles of Stella were in order for me & Dev:Yes, Dave was drinking :OMaybes joined us as our train stopped off at Narborough:The weather had been awfull in the previous days and the snow still lingered, credit to the grounds-staff at Walsall for getting this game to go-ahead. Fantastic job boys.After a scare just a few weeks before on the way to Palace with a child ticket, no-one expected me to do it again, but It had to be done really.

Theres the train ticket, heres the match ticket!The train journey was decent and after a change at Birmingham new street, we arrived at the Bescot Stadium stop. Somehow, potter managed to break his phone along the way! Bescot Stadium:

We had been allocated the whole end behind one goal and a block down the side of the pitch. Decent following from the foxes I thought. The match was over by half time, erally. A dominant performance from our team, and nothing from the saddlers saw us go into the break 2-0 up.

During the interval I decided to remind everyone of the away day earlier in the year, a mid-week away to Brighton that everyone would quite happily forget, the first halfs had been very similar, we were cruising 2-0 up in the match, so easy, and ended up, somehow losing 3-2! My bold claim that it would finish as a draw was shattered just two minutes into the 2nd half when Tom Cleverly made it 3-0. Loverly!

5 minutes past and Big Steve made it 4-0! It was turning into a rout! But Walsall did pull one back, greety by Ironic cheers from the 2'000+ away support, which in an attendence of only 5'500, was very good.

So, it finished 4-1, us happy foxes quickly exited the away end so we could catch our train back to New Street to get us on the last train back to Leicester. The other happy foxes made the most of the snow!

A bit quieter than the train there, so no pictures, although we did pass Villa's ground, which reminded me of the time Leicester beat them and also that very special night!We're off to Germany in a week, so looks forward to a mega blog entry for that!
