Aston Villa - Weds 26th Sept - Carling Cup

Re: Villa chit-chat thread

Why would I travel 1/2 hour into Leicester to go back past the town I live, to come back past the town I live to get back to Leicester and then pay an extortionate amount of money on a taxi home when if I wanted a CHEAPER coach I'd use the one I normally do, our SC one! :icon_razz:icon_razz

I've got others going who can't get onto the coach which is why I'm going in car, went last time and parked at this industrial type wasteland carpark, car was still in one piece when we got back to it which was good!

fair point :icon_lol:

Directions, Trains and Pub details to be added shortly ...

Don't bother with the train unless you're confident we won't have extra time. The last train from Brum New St to Leicester is 22:15, you'd have to get the 21:51 from Aston (or a few minutes earlier from Witton) to be confident of catching it.


To go by car leave the M6 at junction 6, there's a map here

Any idea what its like to get the train away from the ground? Being as the Aston stop is on the same line as the Barnt Green stop I think I'll head up on the train.

Could it be quicker, given the long ques and traffic jams around the stadium - to park somewhere and get the train in?

I'm sure most of us have an inkling that there will be no extra time - but even so, I wouldn't rely on the local service getting you back to New Street in time for the 22:15. The service after the game tends to be erratic to say the least. There is usually one extra train but there can be no relying on what time rither the extra train or the service train will be ready to leave from either Witton or from Aston.

The only sure way that Leicester fans will get back by train is if the police decife that they don't want several hundred of them marooned at New Street overnight and make arrangements for the last train to be held for them. Unfortunately you don't get advance notice that that is going to happen.

That would be funny if there was loads of City fans sleeping at Brum St.

I don't think that there has been any announcement yet but I am sure that there will be.

An email to [email protected] would get you the definitive answer - don't forget to post the reply here.

Make up your mind. Yesterday evening you said they wouldn't sell because of the way we are playing at the moment.
