Europa League victory parade - all you need to know

[SoccerHQ]

Very short notice. Last year Liverpool and Palace held their ones on the last Bank Holiday Monday in May. It is easier to close roads off on a day like that which has seemingly stopped us finishing at VP.

I can't believe the World Cup is just stopping things as a third of our squad aren't playing in it for a start and St Georges Park is just a half hour drive for Konsa and hopefully Ollie.

Timings are a bit off today aswell. 6pm to half 7 would've been better. Still get down to JQ, watch the parade start and then walk over to Broad Street where I imagine the main celebrations will happen.

You did read that BH Monday clased with the Pride Birmingham in the city centre and I'm guessing BCC might also have not had the manpower to close major routes from Brum to VP at short notice as well as dealing with that.

Centenery then. Just remember you will need to walk up as the trams will be stopped at New Steet.

👍

I am on my train down now - I don’t really know the city centre much anymore so am going to go to Centenary for the parade itself. Where are the good pubs nearby or should I go up to Jewellery Quarter for an hour or two before?

I'll be jumping on a train from Euston at 14:40. I missed out on going to Istanbul, I wont miss this one

Is there going to be any livestream for those of us who can't get there?

Briar Rose on Bennett's Hill is decent for people and near New Street Station,, but pick the right exit from the station for a shorter walk, and your not far from Centenary Square,of course you got Broad Street pubs which shouldn't be a problem at that time of day

Will the parade be shown online?
Yes. The parade will be broadcast live on VillaTV, on YouTube and across the Club’s social media channels for those unable to attend in person. Screens will also be positioned at various points along the route.

Thanks, I had a look at Villa TV and didn't see anything at the time.
