DURING the past seven years, the Walsall Football Club Youth Development Fund has received over £300,000 in donations from the West Bromwich Building Society, thanks to The Saddlers Saver Account.

Without this level of support, we would never have been able to produce the likes of Matty Fryatt, Scott Dann, Richard Taundry, Mark Bradley, Alex Nicholls and Ishmel Demontagnac, who have graduated through into the first-team.

These will be followed over the next few seasons by a number of other very promising young players who are in the pipeline ready to make their mark here at the Banks's Stadium.

If you want to help Walsall FC there is no better way than by opening a Saddlers Saver Account with the West Bromwich Building Society and playing your part in helping the club develop the stars of tomorrow.

Currently we have around 1,400 account holders, with almost £3 million in these accounts, but we need more! The club receives 1% annual bonus at the end of each financial year, with the latest cheque amounting to £33,400, which was handed over in May 2008. This money is then used towards the £400,000 required each year to run our Youth Development Programme.

On top of that, as supporters you receive a competitive rate of interest as well as having a whole host of other financial services available to you courtesy of the West Bromwich Building Society.

Open an account from as little as £100, or £25 if you are under 16. Extra benefits include a signed Walsall FC football with accounts opened with £25, two Walsall FC match tickets are available to all accounts opened with £100, there are two Cabaret Night tickets (including four-course meal) for all accounts opened with £250 and a VIP Matchday Package for two (including car parking, four-course pre-match meal, Matchday Programmes, the best seats in the house and access to half-time refreshments and licensed bar facilities) for accounts opened with £500.

A regular monthly draw will now take place for all Saddlers Saver Account holders with a VIP Matchday Package for two up for grabs.

This benefit is open to Walsall FC supporters only, so why not help yourself whilst also playing your part in shaping the future of the club?

The Walsall branch of the West Bromwich Building Society is located in Bridge Street, Walsall Town Centre. Alternatively call 0845 456 7501.
