A No 8 might have helped Poole as they are using RR - it would be no assistance to Birmingham as a No 8 can only take RR rides (not IRR). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Went up for the called off Plymouth match earlier this year. Look for buses to Brownhills if my memory isn't playing tricks. There's a fair few that go there and a stop near the stadium both directions. As we ended up on a pub crawl in Birmingham I can't say how long the journey takes but Birmingham Bus website said approx 20 minutes. No doubt bus lanes to get through the traffic. Birmingham buses are contactless first fare is £2.10 second fare takes it to £4 which is then capped for the day 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nielsen tried to go around Grobauer going into bend four, lap one, but clipped his back wheel with both rocketing into the fence. Purely a racing accident. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Birmingham New street "Grand Central" to Perry Barr "One stop" taking the No51 Bus https://www.rome2rio.com/map/Birmingham-New-Street-Station/Perry-Barr not sure if the Buses around there do a £3 daysaver ticket, allow plenty of time coming from the city. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
