Blues match police crowd management

Following Amfy's response, I'm now thinking that the "towards the Aston Expressway flyover" applies only to the Witton Lane part of the sentence

I hope so because I'm in the same boat as you. Although the map doesn't say where boats have to go.

I'll just 'yokel' up my accent even more

I don't think that's possible Mr Sox.

I'm sorry, do I know you? Did you use to go to Villa games ?

Green army!

Yes - that'd be right. So you are OK leaving via Trinity Road as usual, alongside the North Stand fans who will also be directed towards Trinity Toad rather than Witton Lane.

The club have cancelled these tickets and banned the buyer from future purchases.

Haha what an absolute weapon he must feel.

Ha ha ha! Marvelous use of the term 'weapon' there QV.

Friends arrive by car with their son who has a corporate seat;they arrive fairly early and usually are able to wait in the corporate area until it is time to go to their seats in the Trinity. The son has been told by the club that on Sunday he should enter the corporate area by 09:00 and no one else would be admitted. Does anyone have info on this please? I can't imagine that all corporate ticket holders have to be in 3 hours before; access to the North Stand parking will be open via Witton Road until 11:30. This is deterring my friends from going as they are not prepared to hang around for hours outside the ground and have no other way of getting there. They fully understand why only ticket holders will be admitted to the corporate.

Another transport issue for people to be aware of is that the southbound cross city line has a replacement bus service between Selly Oak and Redditch on Sunday.

I understand that it is all the way into town rather than just Selly Oak. Taxis for us I think.

Can we please have the same traffic management road closures for ever home game. Must have taken 10 minutes off my normal departure

A real pain in the ass for folks who prefer to get the number 11 bus rather than go into and out of town though.

Stayed to the final whistle, joined in the Oasis and Hi Ho Aston Villa, walked back to my car the other side of Lichfield Road and was on the M6 going north at 2:15. Home to Wilmslow by 3.30. Not bad for a 40k + fixture.

I was held up by the police at the Bartons Arms traffic lights while their coaches went past. I gave them a cheery wave.

Parked on the goals car park by spaghetti junction and walked to the ground, didn't see a Blues fan until taking my seat in the ground.

You must have known they were there though from the god awful foul stench drifting over from the coach yard on Witton Lane.

 I sit in the DE upper.  I didn't see a blue nose from the time I arrived at the pub at 9.45 until I got back home at 2.30.
I couldn't hear them either, were there any there?
