The only away pub is the Witton Arms which is woeful - Especially for 3 or 4 hours. I would nip on a train either to Birmingham city centre or Aston station to Sutton. There isn't a great deal around the ground. If you're happy drinking in a home pub, you may get into the Aston Social or Villa Tavern before the doormen start but you'll have to be quick.

myol'man Posted April 13, 2019 Report Share Posted April 13, 2019 Don't go into the ground to early, the facilities, especially in the away end, are truly awful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The average City attendance is in the region of 20k. The local pub landlords would love 20k people getting into their pubs at 12.00 on a Saturday. The reality is, it doesn’t happen.

Bobbie Posted April 13, 2019 Report Share Posted April 13, 2019 If you worry about £2 you might as well just end it all now. Personally think the Witton is my favourite away pub. Always goes off including today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
