A Walsall fan has gone viral after he booked a hotel for an away match this weekend - but ended up across the sea from the stadium.

Saddlers fan @DaveySaddler posted his hilarious situation on Twitter on Saturday afternoon - and ending up seeing his tweet shared over one thousand times.

Walsall are taking on Portsmouth in League One this afternoon, and Davey, naturally, wanted to cheer his side on.

But he was stunned when turning up at his hotel - after finding out he was staying on a property on the Isle of Wight.

"Ffs, this f****** hotel is on the isle of f****** wight," he fumed on Twitter.

"I've now got to check in then get the ferry back, 11 miles from pompey my a***".

Fans took to social media to share their delight and sympathy at the situation, which some found hilarious, and others felt was tragic.

"I'm a bit annoyed by this," Davey later admitted in a follow-up tweet.

"If we get the result I might see the funny side."

Others were quick to comment on the situation, with one adding it was "Twitter gold."

"Get a bevvy and take the scenery in!" another urged.

"Be careful then when you book blackpool away you might end up in the isle of man!" another joked.
