Built in 1990 to replace Fellows Park, the Bescot Stadium is one of the most 'seen' in the country, located right next to the M6 motorway - the towering Poundland Stand rises above the flyover section of the carriageway. They share the ground with Aston Villa Women, who use the ground for League Cup and FA Cup matches.
Getting to the Bescot
Getting to Walsall's ground could not be easier. Just keep on the M5 north until it merges with the M6 and get off at junction 9! You can't miss it. Take the third exit at both the first and then second roundabouts, then take a right turn just after Morrisons. The ground is on the left, just after a business park which contains a McDonalds.
Parking
Parking is charged at £8 per car, £13 minibus, and £16 coaches and can be pre-booked at eticketing.co.uk/walsallfc/events.
By Rail
Unfortunately it is not possible to do the return journey via train without an overnight stay!
