The Ground
The Bescot Stadium, located in the Bescot area of Walsall, West Midlands, has been the home of Walsall Football Club since 1990. Purpose-built to replace the club’s historic Fellows Park ground, it offers a compact, modern environment designed to provide excellent viewing and matchday comfort for supporters.
The stadium officially opened in August 1990 with a friendly against Aston Villa, marking the beginning of a new era for the Saddlers. Designed with practicality and supporter experience in mind, it features four distinct all-seater stands, including the large two-tiered Tile Choice Main Stand that dominates the ground. Its layout ensures unobstructed sightlines from every seat.
Today, the Bescot Stadium remains owned and operated by Walsall FC. Its current all-seated capacity is approximately 11,300, making it one of the more intimate stadiums in the English Football League. The venue’s design also incorporates easy access for fans, with on-site parking and a railway station — Bescot Stadium station — located directly beside the ground.
