    I think a few Rs will be heading to The Trocadero - it's about 4 miles from the ground though so a quick cab journey will be required. Unless you're Mo Farah / off ya head on speed :pleasantsuprise:
    You should never underestimate the predictability of stupidity.

      Trains only £1.90 from New St to ground if cabs a bit pricey. Takes 10 mins

          New St to Witton. Just round the corner from the ground.

                  3 of us on the 10:03 so will see you in there Dave.

                  Train from New St onwards leaves 2:15 so plenty of time for a few whilst the early games on.

                    The Witton Arms just outside the station caters for away fans (they give one half to away the other to Villa). Costs £2 to get in, not the most beautiful pub in the world but close to the ground.

                    last season it was around £2.75 per pint at 6pm but as you got closer to kick off the prices went up!! Nearly £4 by 7.15pm!!
                    22nd February away v Charlton is the 40th Anniversary of my support of QPR and my first game. Away v Chelsea 3-3 23rd Feb 1974. 40 years of pure magic!!

                      Whole area near the ground is a dump. Have done the train there the last few times. Better off drinking in Birmingham and then getting the train into Witton. Aston is a fair old walk.

                          Sounds like the one then .......

                          Be coming into New St about half 12, and as I've never done Villa by train I'd rather beat the 'crowd' and make sure I'm close to the ground AND able to carry on the drinking, me thinks

                          For us that would mean around 29k."

                            Firstly its in a right dodgy area. Do NOT even attempt to go in a working mans pub or one local to the ground unless you want some Brummie grief. Ground is first class however, holte end is more impressive on the outside
