Where are you drinking Saturday? (13 Viewers)

[clint van damme]

Problem we've got is, we're on the Bedrock & Nuneaton Supporters Coach. Still not been announced where it will drop us yet, as they've been told they cant drop at the usual spot.
If we get dropped anywhere near the ground, we're fucked for a drink unless we risk the Roost.

aren't they taking 3 coaches? That's a lot of people for the Roost to accommodate.

Yep, 2 from Beduff and 1 from Nuneaton. So that's 150ish straight away.

The Roost is a big enough place but I can't see it coping being the only Cov pub and allowing the Bluenose regulars too.

Think someone said its Cov only in the Roost

I had an email from the Roost as had booked on their coach.They will drop off as usual at the pub,then the bus has to park with the rest of the Coventry coaches and leave straight home after.Also I think someone on the door has a counter and when it reaches maximum you won't get in.

 

[Wiseoldfool]

The coaches are parked in the away park so probably will leave altogether

long time since we had 10k at an 'away' match - 8k at MK ? 11 k at Manure - others ?

We normally go straight to and from St Andrews. Having more company on Saturday, we had planned to tip the hat to our Irish heritage and wander round Digbeth researching which pub served the best pint of Guinness! We’ll probably go to The Shakespeare near New St now. Hopefully it’ll be more relaxed after the game so we can get our Guinness. We also fancied trying food at Digbeth Dining Club.

Police announced yesterday that only the Roost will be accepting Cov fans.

I predict big problems getting a beer near the ground.

Where did you see that? Nothing on the CCFC or BCFC police twitter accounts. That would be surprising and annoying in equal measure.

I've just sent emails to the Woodman, Digbeth Dining Club, Digbrew, the Spotted Dog and Dead Wax Digbeth (which I am assuming is the renovated Wagon & Horses) RE their stance for Cov & Blues fans. Will let everyone know if I hear back from any of them.

Whats the pub when you come out the station? Its opposite flannels clothing store

Yeah but it’s a “home game”!

 

[pusbccfc]

The Shakespeare

That will be busy will cov fans.

 

[stay_up_skyblues]

That will be busy will cov fans.

And others fixture depending as it’s a stop off en route to other local games. It was my pub of choice when I commuted into work. Dear but a decent pint.

 

[Covkid1968#]

The Rainbow Allesley Village.... then somewhere in Digbeth.

 

[Grendel]

The Woodman, Dig Brew and might try out Dead wax digbeth if I get chance.

Take a mortgage out on Dead Wax beer

 

[stevefloyd]

I am drinking just water .....mixed with hops, barley and brewers yeast

[GaryMabbuttsLeftKnee]

DigBrew is definitely accepting both.

 

[Great_Expectations]

DigBrew is definitely accepting both.

They are indeed, but I recommend getting there earlier than you usually would before a league game, as it’s really popular with Blues fans.

 

[PurpleBin]

My heads a wobble with where to go. I'll be on my own so i'll probably just head the Shakespeare and blend in there!

 

[wal3590]

Heading to Head of Steam on temple street, they always have the early games on and some great beers!

 

[Macca1987]

We go in The George just off the corner of the ground. Spoke to the landlady last home game and she said although it was a blues pub, they had a downstairs room that they would open up for Cov fans

 

[fernandopartridge]

I normally prop the Kerryman bar up for two or three before I head up. Normally quiet there but not sure if Blues drink there a lot?

I think that's a known Blues pub, you might not be very welcome this week

 

[BornSlippySkyBlue]

If you aren’t wearing colours and aren’t being a dick I highly doubt you’ll have any trouble getting in the pubs in Digbeth) or from blues fans). Have been around there on Saturdays before with matches on and never seen any aggro.

There’s always the odd prat of course.

 

[Macca1987]

It'll be like most pubs nearby I would imagine, if you're there for the game and the spectacle shouldn't be any problems

 

[SkyBlueDom26]

Can't see Birmingham fans being happy with us crowding in some of the main pubs especially after the game haha

Head of Steam is decent, also the Sun on the Hill (though it doesn’t have Sky/BT).

Thought that might be the case. Shakespeare and Head of Steam for me tomorrow.

 

[Marty]

I work in Birmingham and finishing at 12 tomorrow, my plan was to head to the Digbeth dining club, get a drink, have a bite to eat then head up the match. Should be able to get a decent parking spot as I'll be arriving around 12.15.

 

[skyblueinBaku]

In the kitchen at home while cooking our evening meal. Hopefully celebrating a Sky Blues win.

I don't know what you look like but see you in there, mines a Guinness.

 

[theferret]

After exploring all the options, will just go in the Roost. What's the worst that can happen? :hurting:
