Hi,

I will visit Coventry for the third time this Easter to attend the home game versus Doncaster and the away game at Walsall. Thought this would be a good place to get some insider tips about which places that are worth to go to before the matches?

What's the best places to go for some beers before the home games? I'm looking for a place with real cask ales, and have been to Whitefriars a couple of times earlier. Is there any place with more supporters attending?

Is there any special transport for supporters from Coventry to Walsall, or is the best solution to take the train? Is there any pubs in Walsall expected where Coventry supporters are expected to gather before the game? Maybe it is a little bit early for these questions, but I'm trying to do some advanced planning

Best regards,

Bjørn, Norway

London Midland are doing train tickets 50% off online NOW , you can get ticket RETURN for £6.50 from Cov Birmingham New Street then another ticket from BNS to Bescot Stadium.

I've never been before but am going and train drops off at the station doorstep so plan for who im going with is to hit Brum early and jump on train which leave for ground at 14:04

Apparently there is a away fans pub at the ground so we were hoping to drink there or start early on the beers on the train

Not many pubs around Bescot mainly industrial area. I think they have their own bar and one bar is reserved for way away supporters.
