Walsall blogger Mark Jones takes a closer look at the ins and outs at the Banks’s Stadium this summer with the League One season fast approaching.
It’s time to forget about vuvuzelas, octopuses and Uruguayan linesmen – yes it was over the line but England still got exactly what they deserved out of the game against Germany.
Because the new season starts in less than 20 days, proper football is back! And there’s been a few changes down at Walsall…

Stefan Gamble, previously financial director, has ben named as Roy Whalley’s replacement as Walsall’s Chief Executive going forward. Roy himself will take a backseat role and concentrate on his duties as commercial director, generating off-field income. As Roy’s angling for a quiet departure, this little reshuffle should come as no surprise to Saddlers regulars.
Stefan’s a beanie by trade and his financial acumen will hopefully suit the club in maximising it’s position based on income available from all sources.
One welcome surprise (to most) was the appointment of life-long Saddler Leigh Pomlett to the board…

Tom Lines When Saturday Comes 19 May 10
What kind of person is forcibly ejected from a football ground? Well, me actually. On the last Saturday of the season, during the second half of Walsall’s game against MK Dons, I was frogmarched out of the Banks’s stadium by five stewards as the police looked on. And the reason for this rather dramatic course of action? Ten minutes earlier, during half-time, I had hung a banner from the upper tier of the stand.
The banner was inspired by the cases of three other Walsall fans who have been banned from the stadium by the club in recent weeks for offences ranging from writing for an unofficial supporters’ website to, er, calling a local radio station’s football phone-in. Events began on Easter Monday, when a 2-1 win against Wycombe was briefly enlivened by the unfurling of a Cypriot flag bearing the legend “Pension Fund FC”…
