It is not a competitor for the official site and neither is it a rival for the excellent UptheSaddlers. The Gilbert Alsop aims to concentrate on the positive side of being a Walsall fan and will not discuss the politics of the club or abuse neighbouring clubs. I intend to get something on this site every week and this Saturday I am planning to do a serious interpretation of Dean Smith’s tactics in
the style of Jonathan Wilson’s Inverting the Pyramid. As well as writing about Walsall FC I will also have another section called ‘other stuff’, where I will write about music, movies and well, other stuff not related to the Saddlers. Pretty soon there will be a tour diary from my recent trip to Argentina to watch the Copa America. Basically, if you read Guardian Sport then this site is for you. If you don’t then please try it anyway before forming an opinion. Contributions are more than welcome and I am particularly looking for memories of previous Walsall pre-season tours, the fanzine Ninety Minutes from Europe, the Milk Cup run of 1984 and the Wonder Stuff concert at the Bescot Stadium. If I get a good enough response to this blog, I may set up a message board but for now you can contact me at this email address: [email protected]
