The Away End

Stand Name: Dains Stand

Capacity: 2,000

Additional Info:

The away end is adjacent to the away supporters Car Park (see Parking Information below) and is also directly ahead of you as you come out of Bescot Stadium train station.

Parking

There is a fair amount of parking at the Stadium right outside the away turnstiles for a charge and there is also the option to park in the Bescot Stadium Rail Station Car Park which around £1.00 cheaper than the Club Car Park.

For directions to both of these Parking areas see Road Directions below.

By Road

From the North and South:

Exit the M6 at Junction 9 and take the first exit at the roundabout.  As the road bends to the right at the traffic lights, follow it round passing Morrisons supermarket on the left and then at the next set of lights, turn right.

Pass McDonalds and the entrance to the Retail Park on your left and continue around the corner where you will first pass the entrance to the main Club car park on the left. 

Just after this is the Saddlers Social Club on the left and after this are the Rail Station car park (on the right) and the away fans parking at the Stadium (on the left).  These two car parks are both opposite each other and easy to see on approach.

By Train

Bescot Stadium Rail Station is directly opposite the Away End at the Stadium and is served by trains from both Stafford (via Walsall) and also directly from Birmingham New Street.

Exit the station into the Car Park and the Away End is across the road.

Around the Ground

There are the usual food facilities inside the Stadium and the adjacent retail park which you pass when approaching by road has a McDonalds there and a Morrisons Supermarket just a little further away from the Stadium.

Alternatively there is a Chip Shop in the opposite direction from the retail park which is reportedly well known for its ‘Orange’ Chips!

If you are standing in front of the away end turnstiles facing the busy M6 flyover, turn left on the Main Road and walk for about fifteen minutes until you reach a crossroads.  On the corner of this junction opposite you is a row of shops including the Chippy!

For drinking, the Saddlers Club in the grounds of the Stadium usually allows away fans in but aside from this the nearest pubs are a fair walk from the Ground.
