How Easy Was It To Find? Fairly, enough signs from the City Centre.

9/10

Car Parking. Was it near? Was It Free? Was It Well Policed/lit? Away coaches were parked in their own car park. Police surrounding it all and these huge gates were only away fans could get in providing they had a ticket.

10/10

View. Pillar in the Way? Brilliant view, two rows from the back, had a good view.

10/10

Comfort (seating, leg room, does it have a roof etc).One of the best in the country.

10/10

Catering (Quality, price, queues) A bit expensive, but they always are. Can't remember how much I paid for a hot dog, but it wasn't that good.
Didn't sell beer either.
4/10

Atmosphere From Home Fans, How Condusive Was The Away End To Creating A Good Atmosphere I thought the Brum fans were pretty poor. They only started singing until they actually got the winner, which was quite late on.
We were ok, but we're never brilliant.
7/10

Stewards - Police
-There was a lot of them watching us away fans.
And they didn't do a good job either.

They treated us like kids and didn't do anything with the Brum fans.
Loads of Brum fans stood up to our right, opposite us and to our left yet we stood for a tiny amount of time and get told to sit down.

In second half, Brum attacked our end. The home fans to our left stood up, Police in-between us stood up, we had to stand to see. Straight away we're told to sit down and can't see anything otherwise you were out.

And the chief steward, Adolf Hitler look a like, I'm sure he'll be getting a few letters.
Crap.

Pubs, Things To Do Nearby. Is There Much To Do For The Early Arriver At The Site Of The Ground?
Not much I don't think. If you want to go to a pub, best bet is to go in the city centre before hand.
Not much around for away fans around the ground.

Overall. Out Of 10, What Do You Feel The Ground Deserves? Again one of the best grounds I've visited. For £28 a ticket, the seat, view is brilliant shame about the stewards and Police.

Blame Abramovich for charging away fans over £40 at Stamford Bridge.

Overall. Out Of 10, What Do You Feel The Ground Deserves? I think it is an average ground although it is abit more modern than villa it s just not the same, the atmosphere however is very good.

I got the club coach but looking out the window I did see people walking to the ground from far distances.

View, Pilar in the way?

The view I had was excellent, no pilar i nthe way, I was sitting near the back to and I still felt I had a good view.

9/10

Comfort (seating, leg room, does it have a roof etc)?

Seats were comfy, i had enough leg room and we were sheltered.

9/10

Catering (Quality, price, queues)

Prices were the same as Selhurst Park, the que was very long at half time and the quality of food was good.

8/10

Atmosphere From Home Fans, How Condusive Was The Away End To Creating A Good Atmosphere

The Brum fans were next to us and over the top of us, it was hard for us to make a lot of noise with those factors, there accents are horrible to. All Brum fans did was moan about there team throughout the whole match too, I don't think they understood that players like JOhnson needed encouragement.

6/10

Would you go again to this stadium?
No, Birmingham overall is a horrible place.

5/10

Overall. Out Of 10, What Do You Feel The Ground Deserves?

I prefer Villa Park.

Atmosphere From Home Fans, How Condusive Was The Away End To Creating A Good Atmosphere
Was a good crowd, they made loads of noise, was during there earlier Premiership days with Christophe Dugarry running a muck. We got tonked 3-0 so our stand was silent.

Would you go again to this stadium?
Well if the journey wasn't so long I would.

How Easy Was It To Find? Well, we parked in a car park about five minutes from the ground but me and Danny walked the wrong way meaning we were lost for two minutes, but if we'd have gone the right way (through a pair of red gates) we would have been at the ground in five minutes - instead it took us a good fifteen. Still though, was easy enough.

Car Parking. Was it near? Was It Free? Was It Well Policed/lit? Went by car, a five minute walk from the ground and it only cost £4 so yeah, wasn't bad.

View. Pillar in the Way? Wasn't a bad view like. By the wall on the right hand side, no pillars or anything.

Comfort (seating, leg room, does it have a roof etc)? Had a roof, was a bit cramped like but you've got to expect that in a 3,000 sell out.

Catering (Quality, price, queues) Couldn't be arsed buying anything in the ground, queues were massive.

Atmosphere From Home Fans, How Condusive Was The Away End To Creating A Good Atmosphere? - Was poor, to be honest. You got your compulsory "you've got my stereo" and all that, but nothing out of the norm. Just a bunch of jobless chavs who think they're solid with 1980's Burberry caps on. Then when they scored, you get this big fúcking fat heffer offering the whole away end out, fúcking pillock.

Stewards - Police Very good, actually. The best part of the whole club they are - had no problems with them at all.

Pubs, Things To Do Nearby. Is There Much To Do For The Early Arriver At The Site Of The Ground? Went to a pub outside the ground called "Golden something" - before making our way into the ground which was 20 seconds away.

Overall. Out Of 10, What Do You Feel The Ground Deserves? I'll give it a 2. Shit stadium, the stand on the left hand side is pathetic, got no character about it, fans are shíte and its half empty. Very, very poor stadium and without doubt the worst I've visited this season.

Christ on a bike, 10 out of 10!!!???

Anyway:

Club & Ground Name - St Andrews, Birmingham City FC

How Easy Was It To Find? I went on the coach and it parked right outside of the ground so it was very easy to spot. However when we were walking back from the pub I found it very hard to find, making me miss 10 minutes of the game. Fuckers.

Car Parking. Was it near? Was It Free? Was It Well Policed/lit? Aye, went on the coach and it parked right outside the away end.

View. Pillar in the Way? Cracking view like and it seemed that the stand was close to the pitch, which was good.

Comfort (seating, leg room, does it have a roof etc). It seemed okay, nothing unusually good or bad.

Catering (Quality, price, queues) Don't know, went for a piss though and had to queue for a good ten minutes, for some reason.

Atmosphere From Home Fans, How Condusive Was The Away End To Creating A Good Atmosphere The Birmingham fans were shocking, about twenty standing to our right and they were all caked in Stone Island and they were offering us outside. Needless to say they looked like they were yet to hit puberty. I like the wird thing they do when a sub is made, weird but original. We were okay but we had quite a few there which always seems to make the song variety poor and there always seems to be two or three songs on at the same time.

Stewards - Police I remember there being a massive segregation between the fans and there was a lot of Police in between the supporters. Absolutely loads outside of the ground like.

Pubs, Things To Do Nearby. Is There Much To Do For The Early Arriver At The Site Of The Ground? One of the best away pubs I've been in, it's about ten minutes away from the ground and it's called the Brighton Arms. Class pub with good prices. Absolutely bouncing, beer flying everywhere and tables being passed across the room. The Indian bloke who ran it seemed sound as well. There were Birmingham fans waiting outside of the pub though looking for a bit aggro.

Overall. Out Of 10, What Do You Feel The Ground Deserves? I'd give the ground, prices and atmosphere inside a mere 4 out of 10. I do like the old main stand but the ground is poor and the surrounding areas are grim. However the pub was class and the views offered by the ground are decent.
