"We are always striving to capture our next generation of supporters," said Saddlers' Commercial Director, Roy Whalley. "With so much competition from so many different leisure pursuits to chose from on a Saturday afternoon, we cannot assume, as might have been the case 30 years ago, that parents will bring their children along to home games.
"In recent years, the club has been working hard to attract families back to home games. We've done this through the Walsall FC Community Programme, who are currently working with 34 partner schools in the local area, and each of these schools are given an allocation of match tickets.
"We have also made special price ticket offers, but it's not only about admission price, it is also about improving the quality of the experience in attending a game at the Banks's Stadium.
"Rather than being satisfied to come along and enjoy 90 minutes of football and then go home, as used to be the case, we now feel that many people are looking for a far wider experience.
"We feel that we have made big strides in this direction; the building of The Bonser Suite, Stadium Suite, Bescot Bar and Junior Saddlers' Lounge have contributed greatly. These areas all have a television and catering service which means that supporters can come to the stadium, watch a live Premier League game on TV, have a drink and a bite to eat, socialise with fellow supporters and then watch The Saddlers.
"The fact that all of our lounges are extremely busy before games suggests that these facilities are well appreciated.
"We hope that all this will make people feel that they haven't just come to a football match, but a full entertainment programme of which the match is part of a wider experience.
"I feel that the club has been successful in attracting more families back to games and particularly more youngsters who will hopefully become lifelong Saddlers' supporters.
"We pride ourselves on the family atmosphere that has been generated."
