St Andrew's parking, busses, trains, food & boozing (1 Viewer)
- Thread starter Liquid Gold
- Start date
Thanks, just booked it. It wasn’t showing earlier in the week for travel from Hinckley
2 mins from Moor Street is sound. Can you still walk under the bridge from New Street to Moor Street?
Trains might be busy but not pubs in Digbeth? Its miles from Edgbaston. Also fans will be at Edgbaston by 11.00 am when game starts.
Quite right, Selly park tavern was a fave of mine when watching cricket at edgbaston - never considered going to digbeth.

Up early tomorrow. Plenty of beers in Birmingham. Will be the same for every matchday.
Sorry in advance as this may already have been answered, but can you park on the Coventry Road?
I will be arriving close to kick off as one of my family can’t get out of work early enough, so I was thinking of parking somewhere close to the ground.

I’m being a bit lazy here but what seems to be the consensus on the pre/post match pub?
My consensus is find one and stay there throughout the game as well
We've done The Anchor, in The Spotted Dog as I type, next on to Beer Digbeth.
Great pubs so far!
The Roost was great. Decent beer. No plastic glasses. Decent food and staff really friendly. Was busy too, beer garden rammed at one stage.
How did everyone get on with the official coaches and car parking for pick up?
Wanting to know before the next home game so we can get sorted out.

Went on one of the official coaches and it couldn't have been easier. Got to White Street for 12:50, bus left at 1:15 and we got to St Andrews just after 2. Way back was absolutely fine as well - back to White Street by 6. No issues whatsoever.
Did anyone go on the buses organised by The Roost? Mentioned it to a couple of lads in the boozer last week who were adamant they weren’t going but this piqued their (and mine) interest.
Didn't myself, but was in there early and saw the landlord walk about 8 people to the bar and say these people are to get a free drink. It looked like they arrived in a minibus. I guess there wasn't the interest, and given how busy the place was, it doesn't look like they'll need to do it in future, but could be wrong. The Roost have posted a couple of twitter messages this morning so might be worth responding to one of those and asking the question.
Really enjoyed it. Coventry related songs from the DJ, a great burger, top staff, cheap beer. Nice that the beer garden is covered, will be handy in the winter.
The Roost was great was it? We stuck our head in there post match. Didn’t fancy the bangin’ tunes blasting out I’m afraid. Was it like that pre-match?
Music was playing, but most people were outside anyway. Didn't mind it myself. Not sure they'll do it every week though.
Ah, didn’t appreciate the outside aspect...maybe next time.We ended up in the Royal George Hotel, which was alright. Stood outside too. Actual glasses make a pleasant change.
We went in the Old Crown too for one, after the slightly underwhelming and v expensive Beer Digbeth (akin to Beer Gonzo in Earlsdon), and it was a great boozer!
We ended up in The Wellington in town, Wow, warra fantastic array of Ales and great atmosphere, chatting to Blues fan's who were very accomadating of us and our Team!
