First Time at the Poundland Bescot Stadium

Click here to view the stadium plan. Aston Villa Women fans are housed in the Poundland Stand and Experienced Energy Solutions Stand, with the disabled facilities in the latter, and visiting supporters seated in the B.A.T Stand. Supporters of both the home and away teams can congregrate, but please note away supporters will be able to purchase tickets through their own club to sit together.

Please note, there are a few supporting pillars in the Experienced Energy Solutions Stand which could impede your view at times.

Once you have received your ticket you should have all the information you need to find you seat at the Poundland Bescot Stadium and enjoy the match!

There will be various bits of information on your ticket, including the fixture information and kick-off times. 
The main details you need on a matchday are;
Your Stand – Area of the Stadium
Your Block – Specific Block within the Stand that you are situated in.
Your Row – Lettered or numbered Row within your Block
Your Seat – Your Seat number within your Row

Once you have arrived and are ready to enter the stadium, make your way to your stand and block. Once you have found your entrance you will need to make your way through a turnstile to enter the stadium. Once inside the stadium, you can use the block number to find the section for your seats and check your ticket for your row and seat number. If you have any issues finding your entrance or seats, just ask a member of our stewarding team who would be happy to help.

Get all the information and assistance available to disabled visitors to the Poundland Bescot Stadium in Walsall FC’s Accessibility Guide.

Turnstiles usually open 60 minutes before kick-off, although this can vary so please refer to the individual fixture's Matchday Guide for specific information. We recommend that you take your seats roughly 45 minutes before kick-off which is when the players will come out onto the pitch for their warm-up. This also avoids queuing close to kick-off and gives you plenty of time to get your food & beverage.

Once you’re inside the ground, you can visit the refreshment kiosks in the corners of the stadium and programmes will also be available if you haven’t picked one up from outside. There are toilets in every corner too. Don’t miss the teams coming out for their warm-up roughly 45 minutes before kick-off. Take your seats by 10 minutes before kick-off so that you don’t miss any build-up and the teams entering the pitch to a great atmosphere. Remember, once you enter the stadium you can’t leave and re-enter – so make sure you’ve soaked up all the atmosphere around the ground as well. At the Poundland Bescot Stadium, you can go to the bar underneath the Poundland Stand to enjoy a drink in an inside environment.
