Trains might be busy but not pubs in Digbeth? Its miles from Edgbaston. Also fans will be at Edgbaston by 11.00 am when game starts.Trains and pubs will be packed early doors as the Ashes is on in Edgbaston.
Quite right, Selly park tavern was a fave of mine when watching cricket at edgbaston - never considered going to digbeth.Trains might be busy but not pubs in Digbeth? Its miles from Edgbaston. Also fans will be at Edgbaston by 11.00 am when game starts.
Definitely going to try the Roost. Outdoor beer garden and dirty cheap drinks.
How dirty?
Up early tomorrow. Plenty of beers in Birmingham. Won't be the same for every matchday, but making a day of it tomorrow.
I’m being a bit lazy here but what seems to be the consensus on the pre/post match pub?
Sounds like a plan!My consensus is find one and stay there throughout the game as well
We've done The Anchor, in The Spotted Dog as I type, next on to Beer Digbeth.The routine at the Ricoh was the Greyhound followed by a walk down the canal tow path. The pub will be difficult to replicate due to it’s rotating choice of guest ales and excellent food.
Our plan to St Andrews is the train, followed by a walk to the ground via a pub or two for an ale and food.
Digbeth has a great choice of pubs for ale drinkers. My favourites are:
The Anchor
The Spotted Dog
Dig Brew
The Lamp Tavern
Clink / Beer Digbeth
Plus, Digbeth Dining tends to have a good selection.
Not sure which of the above will become the new pre match routine, especially as a few aren’t really food places. But the selection is impressive!
Went on one of the official coaches and it couldn't have been easier. Got to White Street for 12:50, bus left at 1:15 and we got to St Andrews just after 2. Way back was absolutely fine as well - back to White Street by 6. No issues whatsoever.How did everyone get on with the official coaches and car parking for pick up?
Wanting to know before the next home game so we can get sorted out.

No, we got dropped off by family.Did you park in there?
Did anyone go on the buses organised by The Roost? Mentioned it to a couple of lads in the boozer last week who were adamant they weren’t going but this piqued their (and mine) interest.
The Roost was great. Decent beer. No plastic glasses. Decent food and staff really friendly. Was busy too, beer garden rammed at one stage.
The Roost was great was it? We stuck our head in there post match. Didn’t fancy the bangin’ tunes blasting out I’m afraid. Was it like that pre-match?The Roost was great. Decent beer. No plastic glasses. Decent food and staff really friendly. Was busy too, beer garden rammed at one stage.

Ah, didn’t appreciate the outside aspect...maybe next time.We ended up in the Royal George Hotel, which was alright. Stood outside too. Actual glasses make a pleasant change.Music was playing, but most people were outside anyway. Didn't mind it myself. Not sure they'll do it every week though.
We went in the Old Crown too for one, after the slightly underwhelming and v expensive Beer Digbeth (akin to Beer Gonzo in Earlsdon), and it was a great boozer!Did the Old Crown, before and after, great place and pub garden.
