Ticket information:

Since our League visit earlier in the season, Walsall have finished some of the work on the old home end (the Gilbert Alsop Stand) which is now in use. This means that we will again have the use of the away end (the William Sharpe Stand behind the other goal. For this game we have up to 2,400 tickets, which may mean we also have part of one of the side stands.
