Group of us Stood on the platform at Canley 4.30pm yesterday waiting for our train - Sign-on platform read All Trains Delayed (no explanation) No time Predicted - office closed - help button nobody answered - Called a taxi who turned up then changed his mind and said he didn't want to go to Brum because of the traffic - eventually got a mate to collect us at 6.20pm - arrived in the ground 7.45pm just as we were kicking off - traffic was chaos - last-minute goal was a deserved consolation for our efforts - Please get us back to the Ricoh ASAP
Little bit busy on the A45 but what youd expect with a crash north bound M6 and around work finish time!
It's actually easier and cheaper for me to get to St Andrews than the Ricoh. The only people who benefit from the Ricoh and its location are away fans who can get straight on/off the M6 and people who live in Holbrookes.
I vote SA
Yeah my train home was delayed by nearly 20 mins, which meant I missed the last bus home so had a nice hour walk once getting back to Cov. Still worth it! PUSB
We left home that 6.15, picked up my mate in Allesley Village and travelled down the A45. From the airport we were crawling along. I used to live in Birmingham so turned off the A45 as soon as we got in to Sheldon and took the back roads to Bordesley Green. From there to the ground we crawled again. We got to the car park at 7.30 and in our seats just as we kicked off. Similarly took a long time to get home after dropping my friend then my son off. Playing at St Andrews obviously means there are winners and losers in terms of travel. The fact is for some, sometimes it isn’t easy to get to. If you live in and around Coventry,for the majority of people, the Ricoh is easier to get to.
