:confused:What a wally. I nearly forgot to write my preview - must be because I will miss the Warsaw game as I will be in The Lakes celebrating my Birthday and getting pi$$ed .

So what do we know about Warwas? It is a bleak Eastern European style concrete monstrosity in the Midlands just off the M6/M5 junction. The only redeeming feature is the local brewery, and Club sponsor, Banks who brew exceeding good ale. My suggestion to the Rovers fans in the sell it contingent of 2,616 is to drink pleanty of the said ale if you want to numb the pain of watching Rovers grind out points by playing dreadfully - except of course the most talented Bradley Ducks.

Beware the Warwich fans, I found this photo of them prior to their home game last month against Fleetwood:

Well known members of the Warsaw Ultras crew include Katie ‘Boobie’ Price and Brian ‘Knuckle Duster’ Blessed. (The guy in the photo with Cor Blimey Price reminds me of Abbs after a diet):

My recommendation for a pre-match snack is Dudley’s finest the Chainmakers Arms. They do a fine pint of mild which can be matched to the local delicacy of deep fried pigs ears.

The landlord Jezza ‘Comrade’ Corbyn (famous for his pigs ears) is also a well known Warsaw fan although he has been known to slip into what was Czechoslovakisa to ‘spy’ on the opposition. The following photo of Jezza We Can was obtained from the files of the Czech Secret Police:

We had a good 3 day break in Walsall one year somewhere around the late 90's. :confused: Er indoors had been left with the task of booking us and the kids into the Premier Inn in Warwick and got mixed up with Walsall! :rolleyes: It actually turned out better as we had planned to take the kids to Cadbury World and Drayton Manor and it was more central to both of those. Added bonus which she knew nowt about when booking was that on our last night there the Rovers were playing just 4 miles away at Villa park! Rounded the holiday off with a Family outing to Villa Park. We lost unfortunately. :(

I'll settle for that. Shrews are obviously getting nervous and Wigan are involved in the cup. Things are beginning to look. just a little, better.
