Parking at Birmingham City

Post by box_of_frogs » Wed Sep 28, 2022 3:56 pm

Anyone any advice on parking for Birmingham away? Would prefer it to be free rather than an official car park! Nothing on the car aligned with the clarets so happy to park on a street.

Thanks in advance.

There are generally NO spare parking spaces around there even when there is no game so the likelihood of you finding any spaces for free is almost zero

We got free parking at the other end of the ground.

We left the away area, turned right down the hill and right again. Then another right turn.

Sorry can't tell you the street name.

Use the MyParkingSpace app

Put in your destination and it will give you options of places to park.

You can pay to park in Morrisons car park from 5pm-11pm for £3

scroll down for parking information, although does seem a bit sparse

Plenty of street parking ten minutes walk away towards the Uni and city centre.

I’m afraid that if you want to park near the ground it will cost you a fiver. The small industrial estate near the home end is probably the best option and if you get there around an hour before kick off you should get a space.

Nothing to do with Birmingham, but I remember the 4th division days when we drove to Cardiff. I asked the local constabulary where was safe to park, and his reply was 'England'.

Parked here twice with no problems.

Three quarters of a mile uphill to the ground. Very quick getaway too 👍🏻
