AberdeenAngus Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 (edited) Not the greatest areas round about there. If it was me I'd train it there getting off at Witton ... unless you can get into the club car car park. Might be worth a call to the club.

jimstroma Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Last time I was at Villa park was Euro 96 against Switzerland. We marched about 2 miles to the ground behind a piper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirrelhumper Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Villa Park isn't too bad but area around St Andrews is a shitehole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitre Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Parked at a hotel about a mile from the ground for the 2 euro 96 games. Can't remember the name though sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbcmfc Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Villa Park isn't too bad but area around St Andrews is a shitehole. Yeah, I had some time to kill in Birmingham and took a wee walk around the stadium. Seen villa park from the main road, but never been.

dipped flake Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Euro 96 we parked our minibus straight across the road from the ground, one of these 'match days only' car parks. Think it was a fiver in 96 so God knows how much now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squirrelhumper Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Yeah, I had some time to kill in Birmingham and took a wee walk around the stadium. Seen villa park from the main road, but never been. I worked down there Monday-Friday for a about 9 months a few years back. Did a few of the midlands stadiums for midweek games - Birmingham, West Brom, Villa, Wolves, Coverntry. St Andrews was definately in the worst area although it was the most enjoyable game as it was a 1st vs 2nd against Wolves and a full house.

giblet Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 We stayed in Handsworth Wood during euro 96 on Aston university's campus. Fond, fond memories. we were in a pub next to the stadium with a big enclosed car park, again, as it was 20 years ago probably changed a bit..
