Blackfriars opened for Walsall supporters

The crowd of over four thousand watched an entertaining game at Edgar Street this afternoon helped by good refereeing by Paul Melin.

Although the stewards seemed unprepared for quite so many Walsall supporters, a sensible decision to open the Blackfriars End was taken and this helped create a good atmosphere. Some Walsall fans did miss a few minutes at the start of the game. A dozen or so got into the Hereford end but were soon escorted to the away end.

The PA stats from the game show that the Bulls had just five attempts on goal, two of which were on target, whereas Walsall managed eleven of which five were on target.

However their stats seem hard on the Bulls with just John Eustace receiving an eight. For Walsall, Mark Kinsella was given a nine for his efforts and both Clayton Ince and Scot Dann got an eight.
