At the Stadium
  

Car Parking:  There is a large Car Park at the Stadium which costs £3.00 to use and there is also a Car Park behind the Away Stand.  There is also some street parking available but the advice is not to park in the adjacent retail park car park as clamping is in operation on matchdays.

Where to Eat:  There are the usual catering facilities inside the Stadium but in addition there is a McDonalds restaurant situated on the neighbouring retail park. The Saddlers Club (behind the Away Stand) allows entry to visiting supporters and snacks can also be purchased here.  A small entry fee is usually charged.

Where to Drink:  The Saddlers Club (behind the Away End) allows entry to visiting fans, usually for a small fee and there is also the King George V Pub on Wallows Road.
