Experiences of Birmingham City

[halbpro]

I'm in Birmingham from tomorrow night until Sunday night, and was thinking about heading to see their game versus Rotherham (getting to Bolton and back isn't really an option). Has anyone been to St. Andrews? Is it worth a visit?

 

[Thunder Bolt]

It's a dump.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

No. What you do is go for a few beers in Brewdog then go to Al Frash; one of the best curry houses I have been to.

 

[SouthCoastOwl]

Duke of Wellington just up from New Street is a must

 

[Wrong-Direction]

Better off going to cadburys world

 

[Vegas Seagull]

Cab to Sparkbrook for a curry then back to Broad St for a disco

It's BYO as well, so stock up on Brewdog goodies whilst you're in there.

About 20 years ago I went into a pub while working at The Midland hotel and ordered a Light & Bitter and the reply given was ' f..k off we dont serve cockneys'. very friendly staff/

Baghdad is more friendly

I am not a cockney but to that particular barmaid anybody who spoke with a southern accent must have been a cockney.

Went to St Andrews once and was told 'look after your car mister £2' I paid it as it was only £2, but a nearby driver told them to f..k off. he came back to find 2 wheels missing. I found that quite funny and ironical. especially as it was on a piece of waste land with no car parking charges.

St Andrews and the surrounding area is a dump but whenever I've been to the footy there I've found the stewards and other staff to be very friendly and welcoming. Loads of decent boozers/balti houses in Brum as well.

This - second best place in the UK for curries (after Bradford). The only downside to the place is that it appears to have motorways running through the place. Travelling by foot is a nightmare

I recall walking from the city center to the ground was quite easy and didn't take too long.

According to Google Maps it is 2 miles, too far for me to walk even in my younger days.
