Barticus 29 Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Went there for the FA Cup semi against West Ham, thought it was a bit of a s***thole, watch out for the guys with yellow tabbards selling parking spaces, it's a fraud Link to post Share on other sites
Red Rocket 244 Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 I hate going to Birmingham it's a nightmare, travel-wise. With it being a pre-season friendly I can't see the club doing coaches so I think I'll have to give this one a miss. Link to post Share on other sites

Just seen someone on Twitter saying they got a £33 return from brum on the train for that date , probably cheaper than the coach Link to post Share on other sites
Snowblind 1,711 Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Get the train to New Street, then an onward train to Aston. By far the easiest way here - getting to Villa Park on the roads is a nightmare. I live just outside Brum, so you can trust me on that one :P Sadly i'll be in Llandudno for this one though Link to post Share on other sites

Ergh!!! Spaghetti Junction. I got lost on there about 18yrs ago. By the time I found my way out my tax and MOT needed renewing. Absolute b****h of a road Link to post Share on other sites
Betamaxman 14 Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 1st pre season friendly announced away to Aston Villa on July 30th Boro will play at least 4 pre season games I realise that pre-season games don't really count for a whole lot, but Villa seems like an odd choice. It won't do confidence too much good if we lose to Villa just before the PL season kicks off. Link to post Share on other sites

It won't do confidence too much good if we lose to Villa just before the PL season kicks off. Id rather that, than some league 2 team where a player is so far of the pace he arrived a week late for a tackle breaking one of our players legs. i.e Baptise last season Link to post Share on other sites

Kind of goes without saying. I still think there could have been better friendly fixtures to have arranged than Villa. Link to post Share on other sites
