On main match days some trains stop at Bordesley. Not sure if they do for friendlies though. If not then Small Heath would be the nearest on that line. Its about 1 mile from the ground. Can you get there from New Street? Suggested route for the Birmingham March 2014 - The Sunflower Lounge - Big Bulls Head - Old Crown - Spotted Dog - Clements Arms. Clements is shut!

Can you get there from New Street? New Street doesn't serve Bordesley but Moor Street does, the chances of a train stopping there though are slim. You're better off getting a taxi, bus or just walk it, takes about half an hour to walk and is a straight forward route.

Seriously wouldn't bother with that place the area around St Andrews isn't the most salubrious of places. Go to a Premier Inn in the city centre or somewhere like Solihull. For drinking go to Hennessy's or The Anchor in Digbeth, The Wellington on Bennetts Hill (Make sure you get the right Wellington!!!). There's a few pubs around the ground but most aren't up to much, the Cricketers on Little Green Lane is prob the best option. There's loads of street parking or a church run car park on Coventry Rd just before the ground on the left if your coming from Bordesley Circus and one just past the ground on the right on Cattell Rd, providing they're open.
