The Saddlers have been nominated in the best hospitality category, where they are up against the likes of Villa, Arsenal and Chelsea.

Meanwhile their link-up with sponsors HomeServe is up for the prize in the sponsorship-partnership award section.

Chief executive Stefan Gamble said: “We are extremely proud and delighted to be short-listed for two awards and recognised in this way , longside some stellar names in the world of football.

“We’re one of very few clubs from our level to have been short-listed in any of the categories, so that gives us plenty of satisfaction in itself, but we are determined to now go on and win the awards.

“We’ve got a small, but extremely loyal and hard-working team of staff here who are totally committed to what we do and the product that we offer.

“We’re proud of the facilities that we have here and the quality of the matchday experience that we are able to offer to all supporters.

“We are a club that never stands still; we are constantly evolving and seeking ways in which we can improve and enhance what we do.

“To get this kind of recognition from our peers is a real boost for us and makes all the effort worthwhile.”

The award ceremony takes place at Stamford Bridge in November.
