Tomorrow’s match against Fleetwood is the second Walsall FC School Partners Game of the season.
The initiative aims to introduce the next generation of Saddlers supporters and, through the efforts of the Community Programme, 988 extra fans will be seated in the Community Stand.
These fans have received tickets through their Walsall FC Partner School at reduced prices for this one-off game.
Forty-one Walsall primary schools have been involved this time around, and we’re looking forward to seeing a packed Community Stand.
Since School Partners games began in 2008, over 20,000 tickets have been sold, with more than £10,000 donated back to local schools.
