Feckin great fixture - 90 minutes on the train from Chorley or a wee stopover - so who is going and what is the plan ?

Me plus wife and so far 7 West Brom supporting relatives. Plan is a wedding on Friday and game Saturday with much alcohol between the two. Couldn't believe this when it was announced with us already being in Brum for the weekend.

What a great fixture.  I'll be there for sure, perhaps with one or two others from this area.  I'll try and get the lads who went to Charlton with me last pre season interested. We probably need a Brummie to recommend a good pre match pub.

Edit- Dab speeling.

alternative maryhill seems to be coordinating the effort for the Central Belters. I'll be down for the Commonwealth Games anyway so I think I'll tag along.

Gringo will have the pubs covered and will try to look after you. The ground is a good walk from the city centre but we can arrange a suitable meeting point and take it from there.

Birmingham's only pre-season home game seemingly - should be a decent crowd then....

Lucky sods!

 

Seems a progressive  team and should be  a good workout for the boys.

 

Birmingham, Alabama?

 

I'll be there +1

FlyBe from Edinburgh 1000 returning at 1850 

Virgin Train from Euston Booked.

Arrive at Birmingham New Street @ 11:08.

Depart @ 20:10.

 

Cannae wait....

Sounds good to me.

Feck me - £23.00 return - sorted

Looking forward to it :)

Incorporated this friendly into my summer holiday. I'm already looking forward to his fixture already. 

Match Ticket prices....

£7 Adult

£5 Senior/Student

£2 Under 16's

Thinking of making a couple of nights of it. Hotel ibis Bordesley Circus (5 mins from ground) £79 Double room B&B for two nights. Anyone else fancy it?

Birmingham is without doubt the most miserable and derelict City on this island.

 

Cracking fixture though.

A bit cosy for my tastes but I'm sure somebody will take you up on this generous offer

Worse than Dundee? Jesus...

The buildings in Dundee arent lying all over the street lol

Conveniently I fly back from America, arriving in Manchester early Saturday morning. 2 hour journey from the airport to Birmingham and I'll be there for the game!

 

I've already booked to stay overnight in Manchester before flying home to Inverness on Sunday. That was lucky planning!
