M6 on Saturday?

When we get on the M6 is it possible to take the toll roads to avoid the spagetti junction at Birmingham? Or does the toll road take you past Villa?

Cheers

 

ask jeeves

 

Toll takes you to far up mate.

 

Toll road goes way north of Villa. No good I'm afraid.

 

Ahhh annoying

Cheers bud, what time do you reckon it's best to leave St.Albans? Planning on getting to Paul's house then leaving Snorebens at 10...

 

Jeeves is rubbish, asked him if he was a homosexual and didn't get an answer ;D

 

His sacking was displicable.

As a matter of principle i alwasy type askjeeves in my address bar instead of just ask

 

lol

For Villa I think its M6 junc 6, may be 7??????? need to check.

the toll takes you just past 11.


As per the text yesterday i reckon get there about 12ish, i will probably leave home 8.30, get some brekkie and aim to leave watford like you around 10ish.

 

Top man, will look to leave at 10 on the dot then fella, any idea of watering holes and parking etc etc?

 

Its shyte for parking mate, full of orrible little brummie chavs.

i always tended to park on a street, 10 mins from the ground just up on the hill.

a few pubs are then 10 mins walk away.

Will have to go on the grounds site for a beeter idea.

 

Nice one, i'll go and investigate

 

Where To Drink?
There are a number of pubs in the vicinity of Villa Park, but most of them on match days are either members only or have bouncers on the door. However, Dave Cooper recommends the following for away fans; 'The Cap and Gown (formerly The Witton Arms), is not a bad pub, to which half the pub is given to away fans (there is even a separate entrance for visiting fans). It is only two minutes walk from the away entrance, right on Witton Island, however it does charge £2 per person to gain entry. Otherwise there is the Harriers, which is on Broadway, near to the school of the same name. It is ten minutes walk from the ground and you can usually find street parking in this area'. If you arrive a bit earlier then you may wish to visit the historic Barton Arms, located about a 15 minute walk away on High Street Aston (A34). This Grade II listed building, is one of Birmingham's finest pubs, with superb Victorian decor, serving Oakham ales and Thai food is also on offer. It was awarded the Birmingham CAMRA pub of the year award for 2004. Please note that alcohol is not available in the away end.

 

Barton arms is a decent pub but about 20 mins from the ground if you walk through Aston park - parking around there though is not too bad.
