Getting There: Head towards
Birmingham city centre on the A38(M), Aston Expressway. Continue
past the first exit (Aston, Waterlinks) and take the second exit ,
signed Inner Ring Road.
Turn left at the island at the top of the slip
road and take the Ring Road East, signed Coventry and Stratford.
Continue for two miles, crossing three islands. Turn left at the
fourth island (McDonalds on far left corner) towards Small Heath.
The ground is approximately 1/4 mile on the left.
The ground is well signposted from the ring
road.
Parking: There are car park spaces
outside the away end of the ground as well as plenty of street
parking.
By Train: Birmingham New Street is a 20
minute walk to the ground. Alternatively you can take a train to
Snow Hill station which then leaves a 10 minute walk.
The Stadium: St Andrews has undergone
major redevelopments in the last 10 years with three sides of the
ground being rebuilt. The main stand, built in the 1950's, remains
in place which leaves the ground looking in need of 'finishing off'.
Away fans are normally allocated space in the
lower tier of the Railway Stand, but it is unlikely that the whole
ground will be open for a Birmingham Senior Cup game.
Admission Prices: Adults £7, concessions
£3
Pub & Grub: There are plenty of pubs
around the ground but most of these are not very welcoming for
visiting fans. Pubs in the city centre may be a safer option for a
pre-match tipple.
There is beer available inside the ground as
well as the usual selection of overpriced food that is common place
at Premiership clubs.
Websites: The official site is another
one of the characterless cloned sites that all fans of league clubs
have to endure. The site can be visited at
www.bcfc.com.
Unofficial site Keep Right On is currently under
construction but can be found at
http://www.keeprighton.co.uk/index.htm (sadly the Blues Babes
section has not been updated!)
