C-man Posted 13 February 2015 Share Posted 13 February 2015 If they are charging £2 to get in, anything stopping us standing outside the Witton Arms with tinnies? Restricted area as close to the ground? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Fynwy Posted 13 February 2015 Share Posted 13 February 2015 If they are charging £2 to get in, anything stopping us standing outside the Witton Arms with tinnies? Restricted area as close to the ground? It's probably illegal to drink on the streets there but I don't know that for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O_R_FOX Posted 13 February 2015 Share Posted 13 February 2015 Anyone know roughly how much a cab would be from New St to Witton? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Padster Posted 13 February 2015 Share Posted 13 February 2015 Is there a pub near to the ground where LCFC fans are allowed? I'm travelling on my own on the 10:20 train, if I walk I'll be bang on for kickoff or if I taxi I'll be there considerably earlier so need a place to hang about.

Witton Arms is probably your best bet, as long you don't mind paying £2 in and drinking out of plastic cups. They have segregated areas for home and away fans. I went there before the game in December and it was a good laugh to be fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And won't be drinking much to be honest as I'm working Sunday night, maybe a few shandys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benguin Posted 13 February 2015 Share Posted 13 February 2015 Is anyone actually going to aston on this 1024 train? I heard a lot of people saying cab from new street, I'm on my own so don't want to pay like £20 odd for a taxi. Is there going to be a problem going to aston? So confused Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
