Massive Villa fan, ecstatic to hear they were coming here! Sitting in the Holte End too =) =)
Can confirm what has already been said. Birmingham is a FANTASTIC city, but Aston is a shithole. It's a great old stadium, a proper football ground!
Look out for makeshift carparks near the venue, school playgrounds etc.as I imagine the very limited stadium parking will be closed to the public.
I'd personally drive to the city centre and take a look round there, then take a train from New Street to Witton Lane. As previously stated, there's nothing for food/drink in the area so take advantage of the masses of options in our great city before travelling through.
UTV!
