Birmingham away

[Barry the bird boggler]

Got mine and this time they actually didn't balls up the order by sending me tickets in unrelated seats (even though I had ordered them all at the same time) like I got for Brighton!

Which is the nearest mainline station and is it walkable?

It's pretty walkable from New Street, but getting out of the Bullring is a bit of a challenge.

[EPR]

Easily walkable from New Street.

Take the main exit from New Street station, up the escalators directly opposite into the shopping centre then turn right at the top then all you need to do is KEEP LEFT until you come out of the Bull Ring. If you pass an Apple shop to your left you're doing it right.

Then just follow a BCFC fan to the ground.

Will be off to find a Wetherspoons before most pubs open at 11.

RFC have accidentally sent me six tickets instead of three. Happy days.

SHOTGUN!

The Dragon Inn at The Arcadian is the most "en route" 'spoons.

Back exit from New Street, turn left, left at the lights and straight on you come straight to it.

In all the excitement that was Tuesday I forgot to mention - IN! for Row 33 and the 09.03 from Euston

[Royal Lady]

How far is that walk from the pub to the ground?! My knees might not be up to it.

[sheshnu]

I'd say about half an hour - get a taxi from the station!

[Royal Lady]

Cheers. Or Compo can give me a piggy back.

LOL didn't we have that last year?!!!

[Rex]

Yep. The drive to the ground raised some eyebrows, cut a lip, broke a camera and made a cab driver nervous.

[Pepe the Horseman]

Do they serve booze inside the ground?

[Rex]

Alcohol in form of John Smith's Bitter or Fosters Lager is served, as well as Smirnoff Ice and Wine.

Though this might have changed.

One of the best burgers in recent football club memory at St Andrews. Would be my main reason for going.

This is exciting news. Now I feel I can justify the trip.

It's not too bad a walk out to the ground. Half an hour mentioned is probably a little generous, 20 mins easily.

Definitely recommend the Dragon Inn, or there's the Newt Bar at New St station which will be serving at that time. Otherwise the other Spoons are in the wrong direction for the ground
