CRAWLEY TOWN vs. WALSALL, Discord Watch Party 240213

Dear Crawley Town Supporters, As our journey in the EFL League Two continues, we are set to face Walsall Football Club Established in 1888 as Walsall Town Swifts, the club's roots run deep in the heart of Walsall, West Midlands. Their nickname, "The Saddlers," pays homage to the town's historic association with saddle manufacture. Walsall FC's journey through the footballing landscape has been marked by triumphs, challenges, and moments of glory. From humble beginnings in local leagues to becoming founding members of the Football League Second Division in 1892, the club has navigated through various tiers of English football. Promotions, relegations, and playoff heartbreaks have shaped their narrative, with notable achievements including winning the Fourth Division title in 1959-60 and securing promotion to the second tier in 1998-99. Walsall's quest for silverware and higher aspirations have seen them grace the hallowed turf of Wembley Stadium. Despite falling short in the 2015 Football League Trophy Final against Bristol City, the club's resilience and determination have been evident. Narrowly missing out on promotion to the Championship in 2016 and enduring relegation from League One in 2019 have been part of their rollercoaster journey, highlighting the highs and lows of footballing competition. Thank you for attending and COYR!
