I've been curious how you lot have been getting on at 'Stans'. It seems the pitch is suiting you perfectly, and that most Cov fans who do attend have no gripes about our little place, other than the fact it's not in Coventry.
Reading some of your stories of getting of the train, and 'pub crawling' down Digbeth towards the ground has just reminded me as to how lucky we are at Birmingham.
Some recommendations below.
Get off New St, go out the back door, the old front door, where black cabs are. Through Debenhams, down the stairs, and out the back towards the Bull Ring Tavern. Now, if you go to the left of the Tavenr, you will have from there, behind the police station is Hennesey's, a decent pub. Decent price, decent beer. They'll look after you in there. A short walk then to the Eagle & Tunn, or back towards Kerryman, Subside Rock bar, (old Dubliner, and open until 6am, and also feckin cheap!) then it's just a 10 mins walk to the ground.
If you go right of the Tavern, you take a 5 min walk up Bradford St, then turn left onto Alcester St. You will see the Spotted Dog. Go out the back/outside, it's like Narnia! From there head to The Old Crown (Custard Factory), and there is even the new place called 'Birdies'. Look like some crazy Hawian bar.
Near the ground it's The George or The Roost. The George has a downstairs if the bars rammed. Entry from car park ground side.
After a game, head to Digbeth Dining Club for a bite to eat & a beer, it's behind Old Crown. If you like Northern Soul, and fancy the all day, then next to Digbeth Dining Club is The Night Owl, a Northern Soul Nightlcub. Best club in the city I think.
Anyway, us Blues want you away in the cup. It'd be a crack sitting in the away end of our own ground sinning "we hate V!lla more than you"
