This Banks' pub is about ten minutes walk from the ground and serves good food before and after the game (it's run by Asians, and the barbequed chicken tikka just BEGS to be eaten). It also has plenty of seats and a children's play area at the rear, making it ideal for families as well. To get there, follow the sign to "West Bromwich Town Centre" from junction 1 of the M5 (i.e. the opposite direction to the ground), and take the first left turn into Roebuck Street. The Vine is on the left hand corner of the T-junction at the end. It's also a good place to park (street parking) and walk to the ground along the new Metro train line under the motorway, which brings you out in Halfords Lane just South of the ground. I can't remember any problems there with away supporters.

In that case give them a miss.Harpers So Solid Crew wrote:Hmm Palace away, £27-50, long trip to Blackpool , then a 3rd all in 7 days, or is it 8, lot of money to find.
