The Hawthorns is easy to get to. Its M5 J1, with the A41 to Birmingham taking you to the ground, alternatively head for the town center, from where the ground is clearly sign posted. Fans can catch the 74,77,78,79 or 450 buses to the ground.  There is a Hawthorns railway station, while you can also get the Metro service in to the ground.

The Experience   by Paul Atwhal 

The Hawthorns has really changed over the years. Albion fans are amongst the best in the country and the Hawthorns is a smart stadium with excellent facilities. Parking is the only problem i have experianced when visiting. I suggest parking in the town and walking to the ground.
