We're building up to our big FA Cup first round tie at Walsall on Saturday, our first appearance in the FA Cup competition proper since 2010 -- and our first time as a fan-owned club!

The lads will be wearing our home strip on Saturday -- black and white hooped shirts -- and so to be a part of this big occasion and to cheer the lads on, why not wear your black and white shirt with pride?

Alun and the lads have all said how delighted they were with the encouragement from our travelling support after our previous away wins in the competition -- in particular when Liam Connell saved the penalty at Tamworth! -- and they all said how great it was to see the travelling fans wearing the same shirts as them on the day. They would love to see the away end packed with black and white shirts on Saturday!

So remember to wear your black and white shirt on Saturday. If you haven't got one, then go the shop section on our website here...
