There is little traffic using this route (A34), only 2 miles, and it is much simpler than wandering round Aston! I park on the A34 outside the warehouses being too tight to pay the stadium for parking, and don't want to fight my way round the island to One Stop. Good luck with the rush hour traffic between Jcnts 5 - 7 ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going hoping for the best but honestly expecting the worst. Exactly....I think the best we can hope for is a 'stay of execution' !?

KIRKYLANE Posted August 4, 2021 Report Share Posted August 4, 2021 Hope they get a good crowd tonight. Would hate to see it close. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephenMiller Posted August 4, 2021 Report Share Posted August 4, 2021 How bad is the roadwork situation near the stadium ? I'm coming from Tamworth, we usually drive past the entrance to the stadium & swing back round to park in the One Stop. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Argos Posted August 4, 2021 Report Share Posted August 4, 2021 There’s no doubt there will be a good turnout tonight, but they will not get the same for the remainder of the season, So 1st poor turnout and that will be the end, very sad but understandable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The H Man Posted August 4, 2021 Report Share Posted August 4, 2021 talking of guess the attendance - I see on press release it says crowds only 1/3 of figure in 2019, I attended the Glasgow match and around 400 maybe a few more in, so were Brum getting 1200 in 2019?

I would have guessed our average in 2019 at around 700 to 800, suffered from a weak team initially but built up in summer holidays. Best few May have been closer to 900 to 1000. Kids scheme boosted in holidays. Footy season starts next week and that won't help at all as lots not been in a footy ground for 16 months so that'll be a novelty for many.

The Dog Posted August 4, 2021 Report Share Posted August 4, 2021 Good meeting in prospect here, Harris, Riss and the boys will have fond memories of the last home meeting and will look to build on that. Kent have a good side with Scott, Starkey, and Batch now. Gilkes at reserve will be one to watch, big future for him in the sport! Can't wait for this one!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been to all the meetings this season & I'm not blind. The average crowd in 2019 was around 900. This year about 400 last week there was a few more but no where near enough the club need. It may work tonight and get more fans in but long term not sure. Hope I'm wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
