Walsall will go up against Bristol City in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy final on March 22.

The club has revealed that only a couple of hundred tickets remain for the match, but they are hoping to get more.

Walsall FC club secretary Dan Mole said: "There are only a limited number of tickets left. We should be done with them in the next 48 hours.

"We are requesting extras but they will have to look at the logistics before allowing us extra capacity."

Walsall boss Dean Smith, captain Adam Chambers, former boss Chris Nicholl and ex-goalkeeper Mick Kearns are due to be quizzed at a fans' forum being held at the Banks's Stadium tonight.

The event starts at 6pm and there is a meet and greet with the players beforehand.

It marks the conclusion of a two-day trophy tour organised by Johnstone's Paint.
