villa park and drinking

[andycapp]

helter, villa have now moved this games tickets sales from a general sale to a booking history sale, this normally means they have already nearly sold the game out

as you come of the m6, head towards villa park, go along the main road and you will be told to fork right for villa park, as you turn off the main road you will see a pub on the corner that has free parking, its a ten min walk from the ground or you can follow the road round to the villa lesiure center which has parking for over 3000 cars, hope this helps, if you choose the pub get there early

Mr Capp,

is the leisure centre a freebie?

Sorry andycapp, what is the pub called + is it away fan friendly?

andy, is it worth parking up near Broad Street for pre match drinks and then getting train from BNS to Witton? If so, how long is it worth leaving it before getting the train?

 

[Tubby Mondays]

Hi Andy, Don't worry, if my ticket doesn't come tomorrow then I'll be drinking at the Wolves - Palace game instead, is wolves far from Birmingham new street?

No WOLVERHAMPTON Wanderers ground is just round the corner from BIRMINGHAM New Street.

Just rang the ticket office now. Those that have not recieved there ticket by Wednesday need to contact the ticket office then. They will not take any queries of this nature until that time

Broad Street at night is very busy and a bit of a chav fest. During the day its good for drinks as there are dozens of bars- some will not allow football colours. Brindley Place just off Broad Street has better bars/pubs. Alternativey the Arcadian has a more 'clubby' bar culture. From New Street station Broad Street is about a five minute walk. You can just jump in one of the many black cabs on Broad Street and head to Villa Park (probably around £6- so between 4 not a bad idea). Lots of away fans end up in the Newt before/after games- which is a large pub under the ramp outside New Street Station. Its an ok pub, often too crowded and just functional really. There are a few nice bars around the business/cathedral area.

Any pubs down the Bullring ?

Not at the Bullring itself. Across the road from the Bullring is the Arcadian (Chinese Quarter) with a number of bars.

Do you mean the Duck on Hagley Road? If so it was last time I was in that part of town. An interesting area with a number of hotels, ok pubs, street prostitutes and dodgy hostels.

So nothing's changed from the few times I've stayed in Brum. Broad St is fine during the day, but at night it's still a meat market.

Yep, and regardless of cold weather the ladies will be out in large numbers and little clothes!

Just to let you know that aston villa fc opperate a policy of not allowing supporters into the ground who in their opinion have been over the top on the beer, the stewards are very apt at refusing addmission to pissed up home and away fans, good result for you lads yesterday at dingle down farm, well done

Could be a sparsley populated away end then if they enforce that!

 

[Helter]

It’s the FA cup. They’ll be lenient and take a relaxed approach towards us as we’ll all be in the party atmosphere. I shouldn’t worry about anything unless you are falling over.

dont be so sure helter, villa stewards are a miserable bunch of twats, think they get a special silver steward star for warning someone, and a gold steward star for chucking someone out, if they involve pc plod, they get a pie aswell as the star,lolololo
