Pre-match drinking - all change next season

[Clampy]

The Aston Tavern remains £30 for a seasons membership for renewals.

I'm not sure I like the idea of giving a pub £30 just to gain entry once a fortnight.

Has anyone been up the villa tavern when they had one of them strange mod / ska disco things with the odd wurzels  song thrown in for good measure. All a bit odd .

how often is that on

Certainly last home game of the season and then other occasions seem to be rather ad-Hoc depending if the back room is free and the "DJ" is around.

Nor I but there isn't an awful lot of choice. It is £60 for new memberships.

At least it might keep some of the riff-raff out.

Full evening dress. Lounge suits for night games and when things might get a bit nawty.

Absolutely, you wouldn't want to get Cristal all over your best tuxedo.

i can recomend the acorn on erdington high street

For real?

[cheltenhamlion]

If the Sacred Heart is being classed as close, I am very surprised nobody has mentioned The Bartons Arms. Free to get in, good beer and excellent food.

That said, you will be given scornful looks if turning up uninvited. And they are still recovering from "Singing Gate" after the Bog Eyes cup game.

[peter w]

Don't like the Bartons Arms but, yeah, when needs must.

[Pete3206]

Amazingly, I have never been in the bartons. Planning to go before man u

[cheltenhamlion]

Give us a shout on PM then. Just don't bring 20 drunken yoofs that want to sing!

[Pete3206]

Ha, heard it was a cracking pub, full of villa

[cheltenhamlion]

Happy to meet you, Pete. You would also get to talk to a variety of posters from here. Including Frank. Now there is a man not to be trifled with...

well if the sacred heart and the barton arms are close i am surprised no one has mention the arthur robinosn weathrerspoons pub at perry barr near the one stop
    And if you have a bus pass or a daysaver ticket you can drink 8 pints  of cheap beer or lager or guinness or cider  in there and leave at 2.40
8 minutes later you will be by the aston hotel at 2.48 and in the ground before kick off
and you dont have to pay on the bus
