In a modern society people should be allowed to cling to phallacies if they want.

This is what I've just looked up on trainlinehttps://www.thetrainline.com/book/results?origin=dfa822c7546111f40356479a6bd7a60d&destination=99460603c4c1f16230f74d51e473f93d&outwardDate=2019-08-03T10%3A00%3A00&outwardDateType=departAfter&journeySearchType=return&passengers%5B%5D=1989-07-18&inwardDate=2019-08-03T18%3A15%3A00&inwardDateType=departAfter&selectedOutward=2IG3c%2FxueMg%3D%3A9HrvULs0%2Fx0%3D&selectedInward=AiEOJX5v5Qo%3D%3AsAQAunQTp00%3D

Well that's that plan out of the window. 40 minute hike/taxi from new street it is then.

There are trains to Adderley park but not all Cov - Brum trains stop there so you just need to make sure you're on one that does.

I'm planning to walk each week. I've done it in 20. Stop off in Digbeth on the way for a few.

And me. It’s only 20 minute walk at worst. I don’t know why google has exaggerated it so much.

Those that are driving have you thought where you might park?

The retail park across the road seems perfect, Three hour max stay!

edit: actually just seen limited to 1 1/2 hours on match days - bollocks

The better answer would have been 'I'm thinking of parking at Birminham Wheels Raceway, Adderley Park Road,which is afew minutes walk from St. Andrews had then go-karting in. '

Robins again linking budgets to home fan attendance. Ladies and gentlemen, your club needs you in person or to donate to the ST fund. This could just be our year to get back to the 2nd tier and the way T.V. cash is in the Championship we would be in a strong position to stabilise and in a few years kick on. PUSB

They posted our fixture list in the Birmingham mail when they posted all the fixture lists. Weirdly they posted all villa, blues West Brom wolves and us but didn’t put walsall’s fixtures

Nothing out of the ordinary. That is the way a pitch develops after being torn up.
Look at pics from the Ryton grounds staff.
Exactly the same until a few days before pre season.
What is tragic is that Wasps will be playing there and we won't!
Also tragic is anybody who is of the "away games only" stance. Look at Robin's comments regarding that.
Gives rivals revenue and reduces our own....
But no, "it will starve SISU out!" ...:banghead::banghead:

How does going to away games reduce our own revenue ?

I take that to mean spending only on away games so your football spend goes to our rivals without contributing anything to CCFC.

Away games only... therefore not attending home games...(and if being pedantic, applying it to those that did attend home games at the Ricoh) apologies if grammar was lacking in that post.
Just cannot respect that stance I'm afraid.... or even make sense of it....

Ok ‘but its their stance to not do home games that will drive down revenue ‘not the fact
they will go to Away games.
Surely if there conscience / principles or whatever won’t allow them to go to St Andrews
It would be better to support the team away ‘than not at all.

But if they are just the Facebook twats going to get pissed and coked up and sing SISU out etc then I would rather they didnt bother. Some of our away support is disgusting.

Go to encourage and support the team, they're more than welcome.

The club will get 5% of my away ticket purchase. Therefore, we will be contributing, do I need your special superfan permission for that?

Ì
I can see both sides of the argument but If youre away only then you're contributing nothing to your own club while giving money to our rivals, that's a fact. I find that a strange position but people need to do what they're comfortable with.

The drama queens are the ones constantly slamming those who’ve made the decision not to go, still weeks later. But expect their decisions to go to be respected, it’s fucking stupid.

Who gives a fuck?
I've been called a scab and all sorts for going to SA. I honestly couldn't care less.

No matter what you do someone will have a pop, just do what you're comfortable with.

Cool. I just thought everyone would be over each others choices by now. People said the calling out would be different this season from Sixfields, but I’m still seeing it.

There’s a lot of street parking - I did have a look - it took 30 minutes to drive there. They do block off roads though

I’m going to take the train game 1 and then work out where to park from there. I can’t believe it’s 40 mins from new street it’s really near from what I could see

40 mins walk from new street? Are you walking with a zimmerframe? You come out of new street through the gap in inbetween the bullring and it’s one straight road with a bend at the top of it under the railway. Takes 15 mins walk, 20 max
