Mid-table safety by March.

Can you recommend a pub for away fans?
The Broadway Pub or the Longhorn - in the Town Centre.

What's the nearest railway station?
Bescot Stadium has its own station - less than 5 minutes walk.

Where is the best place to park?
Don't park in the retail park any more - new 2 hour rule enforced by nazi traffic wardens. Instead, for free parking, drive past Bescot Stadium and try any of the streets off to the right.

Soundbites (from assorted Census correspondents)

"The first 11 selected above is based on current squad and I'm sure as the season draws closer, it will change. Zigor Aranalde is crap but we don't have any other left backs. Comment on Watford- keep the black shorts prefer Watford to Luton you have crap away support, could do better!!!"

"Wish Leicester were available as a choice for relegation. Exploitation specialists, even if they weren't technically cheats."

"Good luck for next season. STOP GLOSSY FANZINES!"

"I've still got the Watford 4 Walsall 4 FA Cup match on video....."

"Yeah this web sites awesome!" (An individual of taste and intellect, clearly - ed)

"I played in the last ever competitive match at Fellows Park before Walsall moved to Bescot Stadium. I have still never entered the Morrisons Supermarket that now occupies the site. The fact that my stud marks were still in the pitch when it was torn up is a source of immense pride. Oh, one more thing. When I was a kid I also followed Luton (it's a long story). I have no animosity towards Watford though. Mind you, the last time I went to Vicarage Road to see Walsall some nutter threatened to stab me for absolutely no reason. Maybe Watford fans can always tell whether someone still owns a straw boater from the Littlewoods Cup Final."

"My leg hurts"
