You can park at the ground for £7 but it can take an hour to get out. There is a decent bar for home fans ie us and we have always been made to feel welcome.

I'm going to the Lazio match Thursday, I've never been to Bescott. Any recommendations for parking would be appreciated. Cheers.

Turn into Alexandra Road off Broadway West.  Follow the road down and it branches into a couple of other roads.  Should be spaces down there and it's only a couple of minutes walk to Bescot.
Cheers much appreciated

I'd love him and Archer to come on and score a couple of great goals and be supersubs.

For the Walsall game last season I just parked in the train station car park opposite the ground which was free, might need to get there reasonably early though.

We wanted to show those fascists what a real big, square self-storage facility with no windows next to a motorway ought to look like.

Our pitch isn’t quite ready after all the non football stuff over the last months. It might actually be ready but the contingency plan was to use Bescot just in case.

Didn't we request our first league game be away too, to give the pitch that extra time.
