Walsall
Directions
The ground is right next to
the M6, in fact you can see it from the motorway just north of the
RAC Control Centre. Unfortunately, this stretch of motorway normally
has a large traffic jam on it, on both Saturday lunchtimes and
weekday evenings, so allow yourself some extra time to get
there.
From M6
South: Leave the M6 at Junction 7 and take the A34 towards
Walsall (beware though of speed cameras on this stretch of dual
carriageway). At the end of the dual carriageway turn left at the
Bell Inn public house into Walstead Road (sign posted Bescot
Stadium, Bescot Station Park & Ride). Continue straight on this
road for two miles. You will come to Bescot Stadium and entrance to
the away end on your right.
From The M6
North: Leave the M6 at Junction 9 and take the A461
towards Walsall. Bear right on to the A4148 (Wallowes Lane) and turn
right at the second set of traffic lights. You will see the ground
on your left.
Car
Parking: There is a good sized car park located at the
ground (cost £3) and behind the away stand, which
lends itself to a quick getaway after the match. Bescot
Railway Station also offers car parking for £2. Alternatively
there is some street parking to be had off Wallowes
Lane.
Pubs
The King George V in
Wallowes Lane is okay. It is about a ten
minute walk away from the stadium, opposite the
Morrisons Supermarket. If you are walking from the stadium, go out
of the official car parks and down towards McDonalds. Go past
McDonalds on your right and take a left hand turn into Wallowes
Lane. At the end of the lane turn left onto the main road and the
pub is just setback on the left. Away fans though should avoid the
Fulbrook pub near to the ground
Gary Cotterill informs
me; 'at the stadium there is the Saddlers Club, which normally allows small numbers of away fans in at a
cost of £1, but you need to arrive there
early'. |
