Anyone been to BCFC?

When you said BCFC, I thought you meant BRADFORD City and Valley Parade... *ahem*

I haven't been to St. Andrews, either.

Where To Eat & Drink?

The pubs near to the ground can be quite intimidating for away supporters and are not recommended. Best to drink in the city centre and get a taxi to the ground (about £5). If you are walking to the ground from the city centre, then you may care to stop at the Anchor Pub on Bradford Street, renowned for its range of real ales on offer, and named Birmingham 'CAMRA Pub Of The Year' on more than one occasion. Although there are a number of Blues fans that frequent the pub they tend to be of the CAMRA bearded variety and therefore as long as you don't turn up mobbed handed, you should be okay. The pub is situated just behind Digbeth coach station. Otherwise alcohol is served within the ground.

Just across the road from the entrance to the away section is a Woolworths outlet which inside has a reasonably priced cafe. There is also a McDonalds a short walk away, going back towards the city centre.

If you coming by train, or decide to drink in the city centre beforehand, then if you like your real ale, then you can't do much better than visit the Wellington Pub on Bennetts Hill. With 15 real ales on tap, including 12 guest ales, this is somewhat of a mecca for real ale drinkers. In 2005 alone, the pub served over 2,600 different beers! To find this pub, then assuming that you are coming into New Street Station by train, then as you come onto the passenger concourse at the station, so straight up the escalators in front of you. At the top of the escalators turn left and then proceed towards the 'Foot Locker' outlet. Turn left at this store and then right and proceed down the ramp past McDonalds. At the bottom of the ramp turn left into New Street and walk along the pedestrian area. Bennetts Hill is the fourth turning on the right (there is a Barclays Bank is on the corner). The Wellington pub is about two thirds of the way up Bennetts Hill on the right hand side. There is also a handy Wetherspoons outlet called the Briar Rose (which is no smoking) on Bennetts Hill as well. The Wellington does not provide food, but has no objections to you bringing in your own. There are a couple of taxi ranks nearby that you can use if you wish to get you to the ground.

Agreed largely, as a citizen of the Birmingham area, however don't bother with The Wellington unless you have plenty time. One tip if you do head for the centre is to check for trains between Moor Street and Bordesley, a few minutes walk from the ground, or get the no.37 bus from Corporation Street to Digbeth; every ten minutes.

One pub near the ground that's OK with away fans is called The Cricketers, just around the corner. As long as there's not too many of you most home fans keep themselves to themselves.

Speaking from experience, I recommend:

Go directly to Ground,
Do not Speak,
Do not go to Pub,
Do not show Colours,
Do not pass Go,
Do not collect £200,
Do not get head Kicked in!
