The Saddlers were given 1,425 tickets for the match, and they released a statement on Wednesday night morning saying they had just 20 remaining available.

The statement read: "There are just 20 tickets remaining for the Saddlers' League Two season opener against Northampton Town at the PTS Academy Stadium on Saturday 3rd August, kick-off 3.00pm.

"We have been allocated 1,425 tickets and will not be receiving any more when the final 20 are sold. As a result, this match is now all-ticket and no tickets will be available at Northampton on the day."

The Saddlers' selling out their tickets should guarantee a cracking atmosphere at the PTS.

It is the first match between the clubs since, April, 2018, when Town's 1-0 defeat at the Bescot Stadium effectively sealed their relegation from league one.

Walsall's most recent visit to Sixfields was in December, 2017, when two Chris Long goals secured a 2-1 win for the Cobblers.

Tickets for Saturday's game are still available for the home areas of the ground.
