Parking:
A secure car park is available at the Banks's Stadium, the cost is £3 per vehicle. We recommend people wishing to park on the stadium site arrive well in advance of the match kick-off time. Parking is not permitted on the nearby retail park for people attending the match. The club ask that supporters are considerate when parking their vehicles, minimising inconvenience to local residents. We encourage supporters to travel to the game by car to share their journey with friends and family to reduce the number of vehicles arriving at the stadium, allowing everyone to have an easier journey home from the ground.

The 404 service runs every eight minutes and stops on West Bromwich Road a short walk from the ground.
