I looked at Birmingham too. Not exactly conclusive evidence it's definitely Walsall.

Looks like the FL are colluding with SISU doesn't it? And if you believe that SISU's game plan is to move our club to another town for 3 years in order to financially distress ACL, then that's got to be pretty disgusting.

conspiracy theories start here. 
Didn't believe it & its right not a single clash.
Didn't believe it & its right not a single clash.Haven't been through all Midlands but I would expect, if its right Walsall home games, for a few 'home' games to be moved to Friday/Sundays on Police advise when Birmingham & Villa at home.

of course it still could be the Ricoh but this proves almost beyond contestation that they have been planning to play in walsall and have told the football league of that and the football league believe them and these fixtures have been prepared based on the fact thats where we are playing in walsall.
It's not reasonable to believe it's chance in anyway, it's like tossing a coin 23 times and getting heads every time.

The Police will not offer advice like that for 400-500 avg away fans & (if we believe some) 3 Cov fans will they? Doesn't need Policing does it?

26th October could be interesting, seeing that most supporters like myself will only attend away matches?
Flapping are you? I thought you hated our council and their ground?

It'll be a bit of an unfair advantage when we play Walsall at home! :thinking about:

there does seem to be something wrong on the BBC site (shocking, BBC Sport site gets something wrong!) it doesnt have us down for Boxing day or New Years day fixtures, which are on the club website. so theyve obviously decided to miss a few off

We'll have to wait and see.
Walsall averaged 4234 last season and IF this groundshare has been agreed I would expect this to have been put to local police by now already for their agreement.
Then depends what figures then SISU have come up with for the expected attendances

This is exactly the same as last season, as far as I tell. When we were at home in the league, Walsall were away.

Are we reading too much into this, perhaps?

2 hard games to finish season! lets hope we already crowned champions by then
sorry. i missed the part where they said "first home match is against bristol city at Bescot stadium, walsall"
oh no, they didnt. clown
Not correct they don't match.
hes! as i said , it could be a ground that is not even in this league.. or as torch said, the ricoh
understandable that people want to know & will try and put 2 & 2 together.. but we wont know for sure until that first match kicks off..
Reminds me of something my dad* used to say:
"The blind man only sees what the seeing man tells him. But the deaf man can see the truth as he cannot hear the lies."
Fairly powerful and apt, I'm sure you'll agree!
(*God rest his soul).
Like I said this doesn't guarantee we aren't at the Ricoh but it does Guarantee that the football league have made these fixtures believing that we will be playing in walsall.
Again they don't match he didn't check properly at all and you clearly didnt check either, and again its not realistic to believe this happened by chance.

It's all guess work, get to school you.

First three fixtures at least, and at least some others after that. I haven't pulled them all apart, that's true enough. Have you?
It's not guess work, get 2 coins toss them both constantly 8 hours a day for an entire year, it's still not likely that they would be opposite 23 times in a row during that time.

Looks likely, however in the past (because of policing) the 6 clubs in WMP's area would often find their fixtures ensured they didn't clash. We usually were at home the same time as Brum and West Brom, with the other 3 being away.
