Banks’s Stadium is so called because of Walsall’s sponsorship agreement with Marston Brewery, owner of Banks’s Bitter. It’s original name was Bescot Stadium, with the name change coming in 2013. The ground has hosted numerous England Under-21, Under-19 and Under-17 matches as well as England Women’s international games. It is also where Aston Villa’s reserve team play their matches, so it’s a busy ground.
