Birmingham City B9 4RL – Monday December 18th 8pm
Directions Approx 52 miles, 1 hour
Leave the M6 at Junction 6 and take the A38(M) (known locally as the Aston Expressway) for Birmingham City Centre. Continue past the first turn off (Aston, Waterlinks) and then take the next turn off, for the Inner Ring Road.
Turn left at the island at the top of the slip road and take the Ring Road East, signposted Coventry/Stratford. Continue along the ring road for two miles, crossing straight across three roundabouts. At the fourth roundabout (there is a large McDonalds on the far left-hand side) turn left into Coventry Road going towards Small Heath. Birmingham City’s ground is about a 1/4 of a mile up this road on your left. The ground is well signposted on the Inner Ring Road.
Parking
There is a small car park directly outside the entrance to the away end, but the availability is dependent on how many away coaches there are. There are other options, including Birmingham Wheels Park, as well as some street parking around the stadium. Some local schools in the vicinity also offer parking for around £5
Pubs
There are not many pubs located near to St Andrews and what ones there are quite intimidating for away supporters and are not recommended. One exception is the Cricketers Arms on Green Lane, about 10 minutes walk. Otherwise best to drink in the city.
By Train
The nearest station is Bordesley, which is about a ten minute walk away from the ground. It is served by trains from Birmingham Snow Hill and Birmingham Moor Street. Normally most trains don’t stop at Bordesley but on Saturday matchdays there is a regular service (every 10 minutes) and the train ride from Birmingham Moor Street only takes two to three minutes. For evening matches after the game has ended they run back from Bordesley to Moor Street at 21:51, 22:16, 22:22, 22:43 and 22:54.
If you arrive at Birmingham New Street Station in the city centre, either walk to Moor Street station (ten minutes) or take a taxi (about £9) or embark on the 25-30 minute walk to the ground, some of which is uphill.
Trains take approx. 1hr, cheap return £14-60
