Roll Call for Birmingham Tuesday 5th April - #2kforBrum

[Mr Bridger]

Anyone got any good parking recommendations up there ? Driving home after the game so ideally not too far away.....

Every time e I go there I park in Trafalgar st , two roads uphill from the ground, never had a problem. Opposite that there is an away fans car park, about £7

They have a car park behind the away end just for away fans, totally seperate from the home end. You have to pay a £5 if memory is correct

Me + 1

Billy no Mates here is going via Seagull Travel - 12.25 PM from LA back about 3.00 AM...

Probably about the same time home as the officiall Seagulls travel coaches

 

[sparkie]

Shame this one was moved from yesterday/today for the international break.

 

[Sleaford Seagull]

Very tempted now I've seen this! £24 return train to Nottingham so when all is said and done I could do the trip for £50 including food! Means me leaving work 5mins early to get into New Street for 7pm and a steady walk to the ground which is fine. And trains back to Nottingham are regular.
If there are any other East Midlands based Seagulls that fancy it then let me know!

 

[Nixonator]

Any guesses on how many we'll take?

Cooksey road...roll straight out onto the carriage way after and sorted

Is it possible to get back as far as Brighton on the train after the game?

Apologies - I'm lazy and I know the likes of [MENTION=238]Uncle Buck[/MENTION] and [MENTION=588]8ace[/MENTION] will know the score.

I've just checked the Chiltern Railway website (National Rail Enquiries don't show it) and there is a 21:53 train from Bordesley to Moor Street (2 minute journey apparently) which gives you 15 minutes to jog down to New Street to catch the 22:10. I'll be on that train hopefully but staying over that night

I was at that one with, amongst others, [MENTION=236]Papa Lazarou[/MENTION]. Crazy game where we spoiled their promotion party somewhat.

Karen Brady gave us the smallest allocation possible so we were somewhat outnumbered that day.

I don't recall any specific trouble but it wasn't a pleasant atmosphere, neither in nor around the ground.

I was at that one remember Barry Fry running down the touchline every time they scored to celebrate right by us. He got some stick

 

[Tarpon]

All being well it's me, him & maybe (remarkably) her

Or you can walk back to New Street - it's about 25-30 mins, so should be possible to catch that 22.10 train. Last time I checked, a single for that journey to Euston was just £8 - so no excuse for London-based fans not to go!

Cheapest I can see is £13?

 

[JonnyComeEarly]

Any idea how many have been sold yet in the away end

 

[Magic Sponge]

There should be 6 maybe 7 of us going

Still on GML2, no idea how full. GML1 is around 500 so probably on our way to 1k.

Just checked on trainline again, 22.10 from New St to Euston is still £8. If you can travel up earlier in the day, there are London Midland trains from Euston for £6. So possible to travel from London to Brum and back for £14 in total. Bargainastic.

Making the 22:10 is a bit unlikely isn't it? 30 mins walk, give or take, so you'll want to be out pretty sharpish if you're all in on getting that train.

 

[Prince Monolulu]

Could do an 'Amex 85 minuter'.

The early leaving skills that have been perfected at the Amex will be put to full use. with a steady exodus from 21.20 until the final whistle
