You won't get in and you'll have to walk all the way back.to the city centre

Blues will be in every pub mate and all of them are gonna be rammed. We’ll be in the Bull Ring Tavern at 10.30am then we usually go down to the Kerryman and walk up to the ground around 2.30.

Hennessys is a decent pub, don’t be put off cos of what happened to your pal. That happens everywhere.

with the Irish centre shut and the Crown getting refurbed it's going to get very busy in the pubs on the main road.
Might stick to town tomorrow.

I can see it being full of Blues well before the Cov coaches arrive. Unless they ‘reserve’ spaces in there for the coaches and turn Blues away.

Usually Coventry fans in there from 11 ish on a normal match day.

Same when we’re at home, given how packed it gets Blues fans will go earlier to make sure they get in
Planning to get there at 11.30, so if it's already full by then it will be a major headache.
What about the Cricketers? That's away fan friendly for Blues games so should be OK tomorrow?

Still think there will be more Coventry fans there as it's the only pub accepting Coventry supporters.
I'm staying clear though.
I think most Cov are going to be around the City Centre. As a few have said, it only takes a few nobheads to start.

Note that Digbeth Dining Club is a Purity Ales place - which we shouldn't support as they are a Wasps and Villa partner!

A better bet but the problem is everyone knows all the pubs will be rammed so everyone will go that bit earlier.
It’s pot luck in a way

I'll be in the Jacobean on Holyhead Rd, Saturday evening.

We’re getting in at 11 - a lot earlier than usual. However all of my usual haunts from various Digbeth ale trail don’t open until 12.
Any recommendations for places open at 11, welcoming to Cov fans and serve good beers? We’re due in DigBrew around 12:30, so needs to be that way.
The Kerryman is on route but based on a few earlier posts might not be ideal?

The Kerryman is no better or worse than any of the others.
One place that very few Blues fans use on match day is the All Bar One at New St station. Nice place, bit more expensive than Digbeth with a taxi rank round the corner.
I’d stay in city centre if it was me. Tons of pubs which will be far less packed. Just google.

I agree there’s loads of good ale bars in the centre, but we’re meeting in DigBrew at 12:30 so needs to be that way.
I’ll keep looking, it’s just a shame our usual ones don’t open until 12!

I will look out for you, probably not getting there until about 1pm.
See you there!

Brother-in-laws birthday on Sunday so we're off out for dinner, but we always stay at the Jacobean when we're in Cov. Just me, the missus and my wee Chihuahua if anyone fancies a quick pint!

The Woodman is the CCLSC (London Supporters) Brum pub (as well as sticking with the Gatehouse in Cov).
I spoke with the landlord this week and no restrictions – WMP aren’t so bothered about pubs that far out.
It’s a Blues pub and apparently the regulars are looking forward to meeting us squatters
It’ll be busier than usual

Also, you might want to check out the Eagle and Tun further down New Canal Street. (Easy to spot... apart from the old Curzon Streen station building and the Woodman, it’s the only building still standing round there.)
It’s a bit of a dive but def. worth the experience and the landlord is a right character. Might want to stick to kegs rather than the pumps
