nelbo009 visited Banks's Stadium on 29/05/2014

Game watched: Scotland U19 0-1 Montenegro U19

Visited Walsall for an U19 European qualifier, so it was hard to get a proper feel for what the stadium is normally like as there were only 220 people or so in attendance. For that reason, I've not rated the atmosphere; and I've also left off the value for money rating as it was only £3 for entry to this game; plus I got my ticket for free from a kind gent outside the ground!

The location is fantastic though - right off the M6, and the ground has its own railway station as well, which is accessible from Birmingham New Street. There is a good sized car park at the stadium, which cost £2.50 to park in - I'm not sure if that's normal prices or not.

In all but the newest stand behind the goal (the largest one), there are supporting pillars so there will be some restricted views. The stands are close to the pitch, which should lend itself to a good atmosphere when there is a decent crowd in attendance. I'd like to visit again when there is a league or cup game on to gain a better understanding of the stadium.
