This weekend's League Two clash between Walsall and Rochdale will be the Community Programme's latest 'School Partners' game as they prepare to welcome over a thousand young fans to Banks's Stadium.
The 'School Partners' initiative aims to give rise to the next generation of Saddlers supporters, with all those due to be in attendance having received tickets through their Walsall FC Partner School at reduced prices.
Since School Partners games began in 2008, thousands of tickets have been sold, with over even more thousands of pounds of much-needed funds donated back to local schools.
Schools can get various benefits by partnering with Walsall FC and the Community Programme. Schools can receive PE lessons run by WFCCP's qualified coaches, as well as cashback on after school clubs held by their staff.
Along with Walsall FC player appearances, participating schools will receive a signed football from the club, with other benefits including ground tours, ticket offers on selected Walsall fixtures and much more.
There will be over 1,600 extra people in attendance as the Saddlers take on Rochdale this weekend, thanks to the ever-popular offer, with around forty-four local primary schools set to be involved.
