Bearwood Owl1 Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 I live in Brum so happy to offer a bit of advice. What kind of place do you want? Friendly full of fans of a certain age and real ale drinkers, or lager and chanting? Or somewhere in between? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are these boozers home, away or mixed and are they near to the ground and/or trainstation? Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearwood Owl1 Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 I'll be meeting my in-laws - Birmingham supporters but friendly in the Wellington before the game: www.thewellingtonrealale.co.uk Always seems to have friendly football fans in there regardless of who's playing. On the same road, there's a Wetherspoons and a pub called the Sun on the Hill with a big screen and sport. All decent and no real aggro. They are slightly the other way from the station than St Andrews though. 5-10 minutes walk from both New Street and Moor Street. St Andrews is desolate, Digbeth is the closest area on the way up some great Irish pubs but home fans only usually so I'd be careful on matchday. The Lamp is slighlty off the beaten track, it's where I'll be after the game I think: http://www.viewbirmingham.co.uk/pubsandbars/lamp-tavern-review-36214.html They're usually friendly to home and away fans alike. Hopefully you'll be early enough to avoid the mass police presence that always seems to be in New Street station on match days - and can make your own way about town. If I was you, I'd stay central until 2:00pm or so, then get the train or bus up to St Andrews - goes direct from Moor Street. Hope that all helps, give me a shout if you want more of a guide!

Thanks for all that info. Will defo head to that area if there are a few options of pubs to go in. There are 8 of us so plan was to get a taxi to the ground anyways.

Bearwood Owl1 Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 What is parking like near the ground? Recommendations? Bloody impossible. Which motorway are you coming in from? I'd park at one of the suburban stations such as Hall Green and get the train from there if you're coming off the M42. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OxonOwl Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 (edited) Thanks My son lives in Perry Bar so probably collect him first, but if parking near the ground is near impossible I may get the train to Moor Street, meet him there then get the local train to whatever the station is for St Andrew's. Or I guess I could do the driving bit, park multistory in the centre then train from Moor Street Choices, choices Edited February 8, 2011 by OxonOwl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Wetherspoons next to Perry Barr station is good for a pint or two as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OxonOwl Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Is it genuinely a 20 minute walk from Moor Street to St Andrew's? Google makes it nearer 30. I guess bus from Moor street as Bordesley Station is closed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
