For any info ahead of game at Aston Villa other than tickets and coach travel

Bumping this back up for non ticket & non coach info

Any body got any ideas for where is best to park (First time I’ve driven to this one) and best place for a pint pre game, been in the Witton Arms previously.

Not the best for parking. We used to have a good spot but last time we went they’d built on it.

There seems a few suggestions on different away fans and villa sites such as powerleague and star city (ones nearly £10 the others free) but have no idea if they are viable options (where they are in relation to where need to be and crucially how easy to get out of at the end.

Take a weapon with you if you park in either

Witton arms.

Closed.

At least it was in December.

Re parking: An option could be to come off the M6 a bit earlier at Walsall's Bescot Stadium where there is a train station near the ground. Trains run approx. every half hour to Birmingham and stop at Witton station next to Villa Park, journey time is about 10 minutes and costs about 3 or 4 quid return.

I think parking is free at Bescot Stadium station.

I went to the Yew Tree when I last went (2019). Had home and away fans then, went before and after the game. Had good jerk.

Too much information!

Anyone know exactly where we collect tickets tmo, for those who purchased later?

Do we think there will be a big queue? Running things a little tight in terms of getting there.

I got told you pick them up from the Villa ticket office when I ordered tickets over the phone, In terms of it being tight I'm in the same position just hope the traffic on the M6 isn't too bad

Oooeer !

The away Ticket Office is right next to the away turnstiles. Also, just checked and the Witton is re-open as the away pub.
