Travel info

Station: "The nearest stations to St.Andrews are Bordesley and Adderley Park, however these are only served occasionally by local trains. The easiest is New Street Station in the city centre. The ground is then about a twenty minute walk away."
Parking: "There's a small visitors' car park by the away section of the ground, and there is plenty of street parking - however, spaces are hard to find near kickoff time! Probably the best area to try is across the road from where the away fans entrance is. But beware...the West Midlands Police Force sometimes take great pride in finding 'illegally' parked cars. In an evening game a few years back, what seemed to be half of the crowd had their vehicles towed away!"
Pubs: "I wouldn't recommend ANY pub around St.Andrews for away fans. They can be very intimidating, even for home fans! If you do want a drink before the match, I suggest drinking in the city centre, or stopping on the way to the ground. However, I do recommend the Birmingham City speciality 'The Balti Pie' once inside the ground !"
