Last win was in 1897. Anyone remember that one? GrimsbyPete maybe?  ;)

Does not fill one with optimism I wonder if we have a worse record away from home over 30 games or more against anyone else.

Only been there once. 0-0 draw circa 1997. Think it was a Monday night so may have even been on Tv

I went around 2000, we lost 4-0  :-/

Records are there to be broken  ;)

We won 1-0 there in The FA Cup in 1925!  ;)

Did we play well Les? 😜

As recent as that! No need to be to pessimistic now then!  ;D

That record really is horrific... For those old enough to remember did Mr Buckley ever contribute any goals to those defeats?

About time we stuffed em then.

Even I can not remember us ever winning there BUT I can remember us beating Chelsea home and away. :)

Lucky you!!

Anyone who's witnessed a better Town result there will be in their hundred-and-thirties now...at least.  :)

Nice editing of the thread title MM. (clap2)

;D I swear that was the original unaltered title. Should have gone to specsavers  ;)

Not that 2 wins in 32 total League and cup games makes too much difference in terms of just how bad our record at Walsall is!  

When did we last play Walsall in the league?

Quoted from Mariner_09

When did we last play Walsall in the league?

2007, lost 2-0, although we did play them in the JPT in our first season back in the league in 2016 and lost 5-2.

Quoted from mariner83

I went around 2000, we lost 4-0  :-/

I think I went to that one, too.

I don't recall us playing that badly, but they just scored too many easy goals. Was that back in the Buckley Mk. II era?

I also remember seeing us get stuffed at Watford by a similar scoreline with a similar performance.

My first match there this Saturday - i'm feeling fairly confident and don't pay too much attention to stats.
We look a different kettle of fish this season - a good noisy following should do the trick.  UTM

There should be 600-700 minimum you’d imagine given the relative “feel good factor”.

I saw us lose at the old ground 3-2 think it was a boxing day game in the 80s and Scott Mcgarvey scored a screamer for Town.

Quoted from Les Brechin

2007, lost 2-0,

A random sky Monday nighter, both goals scored by a pre-commute Mr Butler 😱

International break week? Think we were on telly earlier in the season vs Hereford too.

Blimey, you did well to see one of those!!

Quoted from Posh Harry

Blimey, you did well to see one of those!!

I know I recall it being a very sparse Town away following of around 150 in quite a large crowd I think Walsall were near the top of the league at the time? We were attacked afterwards going back to the coaches and the WM Police happily let things develop til the Town fans retaliated so I nearly never saw any more of Mcgarvey ;)

Quoted from LH

FA Cup replay week apparently. Yep, Hereford was an international break SUPER SUNDAY!

Don't we have a similar record at Blackburn?

Quoted from Mariner16

Don't we have a similar record at Blackburn?

I don't think that we have EVER won at Blackburn!

When you look at the stats we do have a better chance at Chelsea than Walsall.

BUT

We will win at Walsall and hope Lampard plays his youth team. ;D

What worries more than that stat is the fact their manager is Darrell Clarke and he's had the hoodoo over us for a good while, firstly with Salisbury, who knocked us out of the FA Trophy and then with Bristol Rovers. They've had a excrement start to the season, but I've always rated him as a manager.

Given that Chelsea have a Premier League game 3 days before and after and they have UEFA Champions League fixtures the midweeks either side of the game, I think they will play a weakened team against either us or Macclesfield. So the winner of our rematch will only have to face players like Alonso, Willian & Giroud.

Oh and we need to beat Walsall. We owe Darryl Clarke a beating after the 2015 Promotion Final.

Darryl Clarke and Bristol rovers didn’t beat us, Ross Joyce did.

Never to be forgiven 😡😡😡😡😡😡

Was there the 4th October 1975 we lost 2-0 and if my memory serves me right, Tony Ford's debut at the age of 16.(wheelchair)

Excellent commitment to proper competition names!

Quoted from Les Brechin

Correct! Just had a look at our H2H record — we've played them 31 times at their place and never won (28 in the league, twice in the FA Cup, once in the League Cup).

Lost 22, drawn 9.

Quoted from Posh Harry

Darryl Clarke and Bristol rovers didn’t beat us, Ross Joyce did.

That’s about the only list that Ross Joyce is on alongside Diego Maradona.

Apart from both having feminine sounding surnames.

Going tomorrow with Son Of, last time was Younger Son Ofs first ever Town game think Lenny was in charge(might have been Groves) and we got hammered, Its never really got better for him since poor lad

Great win, records to be made it seems this season, up up and away

Quoted from mariner83

A few of us had a box for the match and then had to sit in the middle of the Walsall fans during that... Great fun..

Thoroughly deserved win. But I guess that means we won’t win there again untill 2141

Quoted from RonMariner

We won't play them again until then.

We're heading UP, they're heading DOWN!

How time flies.remember that day out clearer than many other away days since. Was really looking forward to the beer keller Saddlers club that I remember ,with  a balti pie n nice pint of draught Banks's gutted to find the place closed n derelict
