Birmingham Away.

Recommended Posts

St Andrew’s, Bordesley Green, Birmingham B9 4NH.

For those of you Away fans driving from the North (where those of you from Leicester will be coming from) should follow the M6 as far a junction 6, exiting towards A38 (M) / Birmingham. After about ½ mile, merge onto the A5127 / Aston Expy, taking the ramp onto the A38 / Aston Rd after about 500 yards. After about a mile, take the 1st exit at the roundabout (A4540 / Dartmouth Circus) towards Lichfield / A45 / A47 / B’ham. After passing through 3 roundabouts, take a slight left onto St. Andrew’s Road.

From the South East (e.g. London), the recommended route is via the M1 / M6. Exit the M6 at junction 6, towards Birmingham (cen.) / A38 (M). Merge onto the A5127 / Aston Expy, and then follow directions as above.

From South West (e.g. Bristol), follow the M5 as far as junction 3, exiting onto the A456 (signed Birmingham Cen. / Birmingham W. At the roundabout, take the 3rd exit towards Birmingham, following the A456 through 2 roundabouts. Take the ramp onto Hagley Road West. At the roundabout, take the 3rd exit onto A4540 / Islington Row. Follow the A4540, taking the 1st exit at the roundabout, signed A4540 / Highgate Middleway. Pass through 2 roundabouts, continuing on the A4540 as far a Garrison Circus and taking the 4th exit, signed A4540 / Watery Ln. St. Andrew’s Road is the next left turn.

By the Train

The nearest railway station to the stadium is Bordesley, on the Birmingham-Stratford Line which has regular services on match days. The stadium is a 20-minute walk from Birmingham New Street station, which is served by direct trains from most parts of the country, and slightly less far from Birmingham Moor Street, which is served by trains from London Marylebone. Additionally, Digbeth Coach Station is a 15-minute walk away, with regular services to the stadium.

There are places were you can park aswell.

There is parking on Coventry Road (The road that the stadium is on). If you drive past the Mcdonalds, go up the road and turn left. Parking there is for Home and Away fans and is £5.

There is also parking near the Dunhelm Mill near the ground near the roundabout close to St Andrews and there is parking in the F1 Hotel and the other hotel next to it near the Mcdonalds on Coventry Road. There is also parking in the Away Car Park but you may have to pay and it will be cramped with the Coaches in the Away car park.

As for Away Friendly Pubs, most of the pubs near St. Andrew’s are not recommended for away supporters. For those arriving by train, many away fans have recommended The Wellington, on Bennetts Hill. This pub specialises in real ales, with about 15 different types. It does not serve food, but has no objections to patrons bringing their own. The Briar Rose, also on Bennetts Hill, has received favourable reviews.

En route to the ground, The Anchor, on Bradford Street (behind Digbeth bus station) is frequented by some home fans, but the welcome is reported as friendly. The Cricketers Arms is a 10-minute walk from the ground and is another pub shared by home and away fans. It is small and crowded, though there are tables outside. Otherwise, alcohol is served within the stadium.

Where does it say we've sold 4,200?

Hi leicester fans. You have sold out your full allocation of about 4,200.

You'll fill the large majority of the Gil Merrick Lower Stand

How do you know this?

They're going to bring a load of fans so I imagine they'll be pretty noisy. If they do make a lot of noise it will spur their team on and possibly make

it a tougher game.

After reading what I put I realise it wasn't that clear lol

Why are palace fans coming to this game to cheer on brum, ain't they playing
