Walsall Football Club could set a new record when Premier League Leicester City come to the Poundland Bescot Stadium on January 28.
Earlier this week, it was confirmed that all tickets have sold out for the fourth round FA Cup clash at the 11,300 seated stadium, with 2,192 travelling fans set to attend.
Depending on whether some seats are unused due to segregation of fans and how many are no-shows on the day, it means the club could reach its highest-ever attendance at the current ground.
The biggest attendance so far at the Poundland Bescot Stadium was 11,049 against Rotherham in 2004 when Paul Merson was the manager in League Division One.
Other attendances over 10,000 include Walsall vs Preston (10,038) in the second leg of the Johnstone Paint Trophy Northern Area semi-final in 2015 when the Saddlers secured their place at Wembley. The same year also saw 10,525 attend the ground for the third-round League Cup defeat by Chelsea.
The biggest-ever attendance at a Walsall ground was at Fellow’s Park in 1961 where 25.453 crammed into the ground to see the Saddlers beat Newcastle United.
Walsall FC is currently experiencing a turn in fortune on the pitch. Following a rocky start to the season after the arrival of new owners Trivela Group and new manager Michael Flynn, the Saddlers have seen a resurgence and have now lost just two matches out of their last 14.
