if your going to stans for the mallorca be advised that the a45 cov road is closed outside the ground and chaos is the order of the day, i suggest you come down the saltley approach and park in birmingham wheels. i came past there today and spent 40 mins coming just past the ground that was without a match on aswell |

Does this affect the traffic coming down the Coventry Road? I'm coming over from Dublin for the Blackburn game and I always get the bus from the airport and hop off at the end of the Coventry Rd. Will this route be affected? P.S Sorry to those from Brum who are actually affected by this :unsure: |

Can't find this on the WM traffic news. I know Golden Hillock Road is closed, or was recently. Is that the area affected? |

There will be no chaos... :redcard: the Police normally close the Coventry Road on match days after the match to allow supporters out without worrying about traffic. For those who do not know they have closed the Coventry Road both ways where it passes St. Andrews right outside of the away fans carpark, this is because they are rebulding the road bridge over the railway line. All you need to do is plan ahead where you park and try to avoid going home via the closed road which as I have already said is normally closed on match days anyway ;) :bluzz: |

Yup, been going on for a couple of months, and they shut the road completly 2 weeks ago! Thinks it's shut for 4 weeks Maynard, I think you may be ok down cov road, but you might hit heavier traffic than normal as all traffic diverted right at the ground, then left past the george |

Ok thanks. All likelihood is that I'll be coming in at an unGodly hour anyway, probably well before the build up starts. |

Thanks for the initial warning baron, and the update info. resulted in me and three other making our way on the train to Bordesly. Last time I used it Centro managed to deliver me and my old man, who was 80 at the time, into Moor Street before stopping, so abandoned a poor service after that. Good to see they have refurbished Bordesley, and that it seems a far more reliable service is available these days. I will be using that for home games at least until 5th Nov when the traffic delays are due to end. Good info that man.e |
