We're driving up  tomorrow and Parking at King Edwards School, having never parked there before, Is it an easy walk through the park on the way back (Snow dependent) or is it easier to walk round the park up Bevington Road?

I would have thought walking down the road will be easier, given the amount of snow on the ground

Just to warn you I have a season permit for this car park and yesterday I got an email from them warning that the school would be closed today (Monday) due to the snow and that it was likely that if the bad weather persisted that the car park may not be open on Tuesday evening.  They were warning all permit holders to make alternative contingency arrangement for parking vehicles on Tuesday evening.

I've just checked their website, it says they're open as usual tomorrow so that should hopefully mean for the evening. I'll give them a call tomorrow.

Quite looking forward to this tomorrow as a bunch of us are going up, however I have some queries if anyone can help with. Firstly what time is the ticket office open till? as we need to upgrade an under 21 ticket to adult. Secondly is the bus from Redditch running for this game as it might be wise to book it for the return journey as if it goes to penalties then the last train to Redditch could be missed. Finally if it is called off how long would it be announced before kick off so I know to keep alert just in case. All the best in advance and hopefully it is a wonderful night for us all.

They are open right until kick-off.

No idea.

It will not be called off.

Thank You and checking the official website it is highly doubtful it will be called off so all good then.

The bus from Redditch is for league games only so won't be running. Hopefully we will win in normal time but if it does go to pens, I think trains will run later for fans.

Do what i used to on a regular basis. Get a taxi. I used to get one back to Kidderminster every home game after a few beers, 4 of us was a tenner each. Cannot be much more to where you are going, surely.

It will snow, heavily from kick off. You will be locked inside the ground for 3 days, celebrating a Villa win. You had better let the Mrs know now, as you will be drinking heavily and only eating Hot Dogs until you get home, Fridayish, should be good 8)UTV.

Hi chaps, the mail you had will have been from my missus as she looks after the permits (we are on the PA as the eldest goes there). School is open tomorrow and we assume that the parking will also be. The surrounding roads might be crap however if the temperatures really drop and the school buses are not dropping outside at the school but at the island. I also have a permit and will see how conditions are. If bad I might opt for Star City, longish walk but will have no traffic issues. I'll post an update when I have any news. Cheers, WV

The walk through the Park is great by the way, you never believe where you are and seeing the ground below you is awe inspiring.
