Aston Villa

Directions

The ground can be seen from the M6, if you are coming from the North side of Birmingham. Leave the M6 at Junction 6 and take the slip road sign posted Birmingham (NE). Turn right at the island (the fourth exit), the ground is well signposted from here. However to be on the safe side, turn right at the second set of traffic lights (there is the King Edward VII pub on the corner) on to Aston Hall Road. This road will take you down to the ground. Street Parking (although don't be surprised if you are approached by kids wanting to 'mind your car').

By Train

Take the short train journey from Birmingham New Street (around 10-15 minutes) to either Aston or Witton station. Witton station is nearer to the away end and is only a few minutes walk from the ground. Turn left out of the station exit and continue down to a roundabout. Turn left at the roundabout into Witton Lane and the entrance to the away section is down this road on the first corner of the ground that you reach.

Pubs

'The Cap and Gown' - Half the pub is given to away fans (there is even a separate entrance for away 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.

'The Harriers' - which is on Broadway, near to the school of the same name. 

Barton Arms - on A34 Aston High Street. Victorian pub of note, with Real ale and Thai food.
