Wycombe Wanderers boss Gareth Ainsworth has praised the Walsall fans that made the trip to Adams Park in the club's FA Cup match on November 5.
Only 2,319 fans were inside the stadium as the Saddlers defeated the Chairboys 2-0, with the League Two team easily defeating an underwhelming Wycombe team.
Out of those who attended the match, 520 spectators got behind Michael Flynn's side as they made their presence known in South Buckinghamshire.
