My first ever visit to the Bescot/Banks stadium for the only try Black Country Derby and need to ask if there is any one with advice on parking and a pre match snifter before the game?
My last trip into the old Fellows Park was to see UB40!

Same for me Frank, although I did not go to the old place to see UB40.

Any recommendations for pubs anyone?

Not much decent by the Bescot due to the area when me and my dad went to the England U17's game there we went to The Horse and Jockey in Wednesbury by Brunswick Park opposite what was the Cottage Inn down the road from The schools. The Bus 11 stops near to it, One that does food in Pleck is by the Manor Hospital the Bradford Arms. Apart from that Wednesbury might be best option to drink in as due to the area all of the pubs have either closed or are dumps. My dad said he wouldn't drink around there

Im going Spoons in Wednesbury, last time at Bescot we parked round the back on the shopping bit by McDonalds, took ages to get off though!

AlbionBest · « **Reply #35 on:** July 26, 2021, 09:39:55 AM »

Managed to get a ticket so looking forward this as it's the only pre season game I can make.

Bit of a weird one, do we need a negative test result to get in? Canâ€™t find anything anywhere saying about it but donâ€™t wanna get turned away for not having took a test.

Is that one in Wednesbury not far from the Rose Hill Tavern I think if so yes that would be still open, the Rose Hill might be closed, Blue Ball might be open and the Woden on the hill by the town near opposite the Weatherspoons is Open

So my partner has rudely declined my offer of an all expenses paid romantic meal for two at the Bescot tomorrow night, don't know why as I heard good things about the pies.

Anyway, I have a spare ticket - block F back row.

PM me if you are interested - the pie is not part of deal though

Anyone who's going on here, if you could add regular match updates on here they would be most appreciated 😁😁

What's the weather like over Walsall way at the moment? It's been hammering down over here in Erdington for hours. Slight respites followed by further downpours and intermittent thunder. Any chance of this getting called off? It's like a bloody monsoon over here at the mo'.

Raining heavily on the M6 near Stafford. Can't imagine the game will be in peril... glad I've brought a jacket though

Edit. It's considerably worse now 20 miles further South 😬

Safe journey home mate. Never mind, the good news is that it's almost stopped raining by us. Just as well as the road drains had backed up flooding the road and pavement up to the front gate.
