This gives match and event visitors several official-area choices rather than relying on a single entrance. Away supporters can use parking at the Mercure Hotel, where Away Guide lists a charge of £10 per space (awaygames.co.uk). Club car-park users cannot access or leave the facilities from 10 minutes before full time until all pedestrian traffic has left the area, according to West Bromwich Albion (wba.co.uk). ## Matchday Controls on Halfords Lane and Nearby Roads Drivers heading for a match should expect the busiest conditions around the venue rather than treating nearby residential streets as a dependable alternative. West Bromwich Albion states that vehicles in club car parks are held from 10 minutes before full time until pedestrian traffic has cleared the area (wba.co.uk). The restriction affects both access and exit, so a car left close to the ground may remain stationary after the final whistle. The club also publishes travel and parking information for supporters using its facilities (wba.co.uk). Show map of Smethwick ## Mercure Hotel and Park Lane Alternatives Near the Ground The Mercure Hotel provides a named alternative to the venue car parks, with parking priced at £10 per space according to Away Guide (awaygames.co.uk). These options suit drivers who want to arrive near the stadium without depending on street parking. Park Lane, B21 8LE, is another named option listed by Albion Till We Die. The site gives it 120 spaces, a £3 charge, and a 400-metre distance from the ground, equivalent to a 5-minute walk (albiontillwedie.co.uk). Its location makes it practical for visitors prepared to leave the car outside the immediate stadium approach and walk to the turnstiles. ## Parksy Parking Spaces Around The Hawthorns Parksy lists a priced space on Halfords Lane, B71, a few steps away at 102 yards, costing £11.63 an hour. A secure 24/7 space on St. Stephens Road in West Bromwich is 228 yards away and costs £12.50 an hour. Both locations keep the walk short for a match or show, although a close space can still mean waiting with other departing pedestrians after the final whistle. Further choices include a space in Birmingham B21, 0.5 mile away at £11.25 an hour, and a 24/7 space at Wickes in Birmingham B21, 0.6 mile away at £10.88 an hour. Kimberly Road in Smethwick has a space 0.6 mile away for £12 a day, while Night Inn Smethwick, B66, offers a 24/7 space 0.8 mile away at £7.50 an hour. The longer walks can make post-match departure easier by placing cars farther from the immediate crowd. ## Rail and Walking Routes to The Hawthorns Handsworth and Smethwick railway station is the nearest rail stop, 0.7 mile from The Hawthorns and a 14-minute walk. The station is the most direct public-transport choice for visitors who would rather avoid event-day driving and the congestion around Halfords Lane. Smethwick Galton Bridge railway station is about a 17-minute walk from the venue, while Smethwick Rolfe Street railway station is about a 19-minute walk. These alternatives give rail passengers more than one approach through Sandwell near Smethwick, with the final journey completed on foot rather than by searching for a space beside the ground.
