Crumpy Gunt Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 I can help if you give me more clues. All I know is what I've posted. Turn right off main road and about 150yards on right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brummie Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Bit too vague to have a guess, sorry. Incidentally, anyone who goes to VP and doesn't drink at the Bartons Arms is missing out on a treat. One of the best, historical pubs in the city (dog rough area and a decent hike from the ground, mind), great beer and fantastic Thai food. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

brummie Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Click? That's the one. Lots of Villa support drink in there, but there's never any trouble with away fans when they show up (and the away fans that do show up seem to keep it a closely guarded secret, lest it get spoiled).

Baggio Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 I wouldn't take much notice of Brummie, I remember reading his advice on here for going to St Andrews... "Through the Bullring, turn left at the church and it's just down there" About 2 miles down there and it was pissing down with rain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quailman Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Anyone remember the name of it? Only 10/15 minutes from Villa. Thanks! ps, not the one about 100yards away. The lad in the lane ? or is that the one for west brom? Nah, Lad in the Lane is in Erdington - quite a walk from Villa Park There's loads of pubs in the area, but if you want to get away from the main chaos I'd go to The Gosta Green, which is just off Aston Uni campus. It's a screen pub so relatively cheap, although it's still a 15-20 min walk. Or there's the Hare of the Dog, which is even closer - it's on Birmingham City Uni campus - Just literally down the road from Villa Park. I'll be in the Gosta because my mate let me down trying to get me a ticket - he's a Villa Season Ticket holder. So relied on him instead of getting one myself.

brummie Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 nee idea, other than avoid The Adventurer's. Yes, that's the last place you want to turn up for a drink. It kicked off there on Saturday against Blackburn, of all people. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Brummiemag Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Pubs near the ground (Cap and Gown) and by Aston Station (Swan and Mitre and Manor Tavern) are decent friendly pubs. Avoid the Adventurers though, its full of scumbags. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Travelling down from manc on the morning of the match. Could anyone tell me the best station to go to and way of getting to the ground. Would be better if it wasn't an early kick off like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lad in the lane ? or is that the one for west brom? Definately stopped there with Toon travel before. Not sure if that's the one your thinking of though. A big white place if i remember rightly. Normally well served by that point, so that may not be accurate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quailman Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 The Lad in the Lane is on a Duel Carriageway by a nasty junction. It's straight down the road from Villa park. Although it's an extremely LONG road. So definitely not a short walk! I suppose you could call it bog white. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
