ABOUT THE GROUND

The Banks's Stadium has been home to Walsall since opening in August 1990.

An 11,300-seater, £4.5million project, the ground was built on the back of Walsall's takeover by Terry Ramsden in 1986.

Walsall moved to the Banks’s Stadium, formerly known as Bescot, from Fellows Park after a 94-year stay.
