[Albion] Aston Vanilla tickets

[Bod]

Does anyone know what Witton train station will be like after the game? I've tended to walk into town back in the past but it takes about an hour and wondered if the train might be quicker.

Numerous decent pubs in the Temple Street, Bennett’s Hill, Temple Row area in the city centre. Less than 5 minutes’ walk from New Street station. Old Joint Stock (Fullers) is probably the most impressive. Wellington has a vast selection of real ales, but doesn’t do food. Head of Steam is probably my favourite and has TV screens. There are food and drink huts in the Christmas Market on New Street, virtually outside of the station. For all of these, take the Victoria Square or New Street exits out of the station.

No colours allowed in Head of Steam.

Any recs for local parking?

Previously I've parked at The Wisdom Academy (a school on Sycamore Road, 5 min walk away) for £7 or something similar. Just turned up and paid cash to someone on the gate. However takes about 30 minutes to get out and on to the Aston Expressway to get away but think it will be like that wherever you park locally.

Thank you very much

Don't forget to visit the Christmas Market.

Might make the return a little busy but great fun nonetheless.

For anyone who parks on the south side of the Expressway getting onto the M6 at J5 is usually quicker

Normally rammed if you leave after the game is finished.
They have a walkway up to the platform which is Falmer Station but very narrow so get ready for a long wait

Might have to leave on 83 mins to avoid the queues.

Is there any reason why I shouldn't get close to Aston via M42, A45 (National Motorcycle Museum), parking up in Duddleston/Saltley and walking in from there?

Does anyone know Aston Villa’s policy on taking in small bags and ‘gasp’ bottles/flasks into Villa Park? I thought the club used to email out or post online an info pack for every away game but I can’t find one.

No. I parked about a mile away from VP in that direction that time we lost rather unjustly after Mooy got sent off. I was in plenty of time mind.

Any spare tickets please PM me - will meet anywhere in brum/at stadium

You don't want to miss Strictly. Maybe go at half time to be on the safe side?

About 25 to 30 minutes wait at that station the one time we used it. Prefer to walk myself.

Few, if any, good pubs near the ground.

Old Joint Stock (Fullers) is probably the most impressive. Wellington has a vast selection of real ales, but doesn’t do food. Head of Steam is probably my favourite and has TV screens. A shout out too for The Good Intent in Great Western Arcade. There are food and drink huts in the Christmas Market on New Street, virtually outside of the station. For all of these, take the Victoria Square or New Street exits out of the station.
