Guest Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 What is it like at birmingham for away games .thinking about taking 6 year old son Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddogbob Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 (edited) Never had good reports mate. Although I've personally never been. I have been to villa, and would say I'd feel more comfortable taking my son there. Edited August 28, 2016 by Maddogbob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigthinrob Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Been fine everytime i've been. Some parking on a housing estate bang opposite if you get there early. Quite nice modern ground . Obviously everyone stands on the away end, so maybe you need to consider that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
areNOTwhatTHEYseem Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 (edited) It's a great laugh for away fans... ...Not so good for the home fans, though. Edited August 28, 2016 by areNOTwhatTHEYseem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViolaOwls Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Vile fans that throw bricks at women and kids fenced in a coach park. Don't worry cops will just watch but then charge any owl that retaliates. Don't go if your on crutches too, about 5 will attack you from behind. Other than that it's lovely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once at Luton, once at Leeds and twice at Birmingham. my wife got hit on he head from a bottle chucked from 20 yards away. no way would I take a 6 year old there. proper scum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigthinrob Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Think maybe Birmingham getting judged on the old 'ZULU' days. Last time i went, was a midweek night match last year or year before (i lose track) and no problems. Like i said, we got there quite early, parked about 100 yards across from ground and walked back straight after match & no problems. Maybe coach park as quoted attracted a few hoolies but i didn't see any where we were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beholder Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 One year it got a bit nasty when they were hurling rocks over that wall. Been fine ever since though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheEnchanter Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Last time I went (2013) it was probably the most security conscious ground I've been too. Check after check after check. Dull horrible 0-0 draw on a tuesday night. Sober and cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanningtonowl Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 (edited) Been for the last three/four visits. Take both of mine. No problems at all. Never felt at riisk or worried. Times have moved on. Looks a bin to drive through but never any issues. Crack on but try to get the front row so your lad can see and might also pick up a shirt if the players throw them into the crowd.

FuthaMucker Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Been twice. Never had problems. Stewards can be a bit heavy handed though. More than likely going to go again this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birley Owl 1867 Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Went for the FA Cup game in 2011. No problems, steward was nice he personally welcomed everyone to the ground before it started getting proper busy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
