This echo’s the feeling of Walsall fans of a certain age Fellows Park will always be our true home now its Morrisons. They do have pictures up in store of FP but the harsh reality is we would have struggled to sustain tbe club without the commercial activities taking place at the new stadium but Fellows Park is still my spiritual home. Good read thanks

An excellent piece which I very much relate to. The Globe feels so much colder (temperature and atmosphere) than CP, away from the bar and hospitality suites anyway.
Despite what Phil and a few others say, it really is much more difficult, longer and often wetter to get to and from The Globe and the prices are far too high. £1 entrance, as it was in 1985 = £2.85 today (according to the UK inflation calculator), yet how much are we and other fans up and down the country paying? A 4th division team was about £3 (equivalent to £8.55 today).
The corporate types have ruined our game.
Against Modern Football.

Great read Roger. I must admit I feel as you do about the move and everything else going on at the club I have supported for well over 50 years. I also remember standing with you on the old cinder bank.
