Bodymoor Heath - players leaving time

[Matt G]

Hi all,

It being the summer holidays my kids are bored and want to see if they can see the players leaving training and try and get some autographs. Anyone got any experience of this and what time would be right to get there, or if it’s possible at all?

Thanks in advance

You can easily wait on the road leading to Middleton RSPB as I have seen people there in the past. However the players will be driving past in their cars so no guarantee they will stop or even which player it is. Couldn't tell you the time though but if you want to make a day of it, Middleton Hall and Kingsbury Waterpark are right next door to BMH.

Matt G....the original?! Where the hell have you been for the last decade, mate? (Not a bad time to duck-out being a ClVilla obsessive, in fairness).

Thank you , yes I’ve seen people there and to be fair to the players they usually do stop. But I think the timings have changed under Unai. Don’t want a wasted trip!

Yes the original! Life happens, priorities change. Very fortunate that my two kids are now Villa obsessed so get to reignite my love too.

Have a look at that Matty Cash "day in the life" video. I can't remember if he mentions times in it but you might get some idea.

Does Unai allow the players to leave training?

Welcome back Matt

There are now cones and 'no stopping' signs all along Bodymoor Heath Road now, and the road up to the entrance is double yellowed. Not sure how you'd go about getting autographs other than by parking in the car parks and walking to the gate.
