This is the Saddlers Club situated just outside the stadium that is happy to admit away supporters on matchdays on payment of a £2 entrance fee, although under 16's are admitted free. The Club has two rooms, a smaller one at the front which is for home supporters and a larger function room at the back, which is for away fans. This area has seating for 300, has a large screen showing Sky Sports news, has food on offer, such as pies & burgers plus they offered real ale (on my last visit this was Wychwood Hobgoblin). Overall, I was very impressed with the facilities, but as you would expect if there is a large away following it can get full pretty quickly.
Otherwise, the nearest pub to the ground is the King George V on Wallowes Lane. It is okay, but again understandably busy which can make it a bit difficult to get served quickly. It is about a 15 minute walk away, opposite the Morrisons Supermarket. If you are walking from the stadium, go out of the official car parks and down towards McDonalds. Go past McDonalds on your right and take a left hand turn into Wallowes Lane. At the end of the lane turn left onto the main road and the pub is just setback on the left. Away fans though should avoid the Fulbrook pub near to the ground. Otherwise after many years of opting not to sell alcohol to away supporters inside the stadium, the Club now serve beer to away fans!King George looks favourable.

Thanks for that mate, sounds like it could be a good atmosphere in the saddlers club but seems you'd have to be there early to get in, King George sounds decent too. Cheers

Been to King George the last couple of times Ive been to Walsall, decent enough boozer, lagers a bit crap in there and served in plastic glasses but thats standard isnt it.

First time I went there were a load of Everton fans in there cus they were playing the vile, had a cracking laugh with em, the city and everton fans were singing shit on the villa, crackin stuff!

Thought the george looked the best bet. The club are a bit cheeky charging away fans to get in. Are the vile at home saturday ?

Pubs and clubs are allowed to charge if they are providing some sort of entertainment....yes Sky Sports counts.

But only charging for away fans is a bit naughty

Perry Barr station is on the train route from new street to Bescott. Alight at Perry Barr, proceed 50 yards to the Perry Barr shopping centre where a Wetherspoons pub awaits, unlike last season there will be no Villa fans in there as they are away at Palace. A few scoops then hop back on the train.

Birmingham. Briar Rose. Shakespeare. Then quick train to the ground. Pubs round by Walsall are not up to much
