This Weekend, Walsall make the short trip to Nottingham to take on Notts County in the latest Sky Bet League One fixtures of the season.
Once again we have teamed up with tothe92.co.uk, to bring you all the latest stadium information, including; parking, train travel and where to get pre-match refreshments.
Meadow Lane has a capacity of 20,300, but at present is restricted to 13,725 due to safety requirements. The more vociferous home fans tend to gather in the Kop End behind the goal whilst the other two stands Derek Pavis (side) and Family (behind the goal) are very similar in terms of being single tiered. The family stand has an added pillar situated right in the middle of the stand which is something worth remembering when purchasing your tickets.
