New Matchday parking
« on: February 09, 2017, 10:22:09 AM »
Grant Adams, absolute diamond of this parish, has asked us to say that the Sertec site on Electric Avenue will be open from midday on Saturday and for all games from now on. It's guarded, secure and costs £5. If you know Grant I won't have to tell you that the money will go to good causes.

I may well rock down to Electric Avenue on Saturday; is Grant's nickname Eddy?

On a slightly different tack is there anywhere else to drink in that area? Since the Ruskin Hall went I have struggled to find an appropriate parking place and pub replacement. Needs to be somewhere permanent as it going and my Villa routine being smashed to pieces (when at home) has coincided with where we are now.

Closest to this car park is Swan & Mitre on Lichfield Rd or The Aston Social. Both places you need to be a member although you can pay into the ASC.

It's been a fiver for ages.  I can't see how they could charge any more, given the distance from the ground and other people charging the same.

Nearest pub is the Villa Tavern BTW, just over the road, 20 minutes from the ground.
