In fact there were loads of people parked in there when I returned to my car after the match, more so than when Asda was 24hr. I went into the car park about 8pm on the way home from work before the Asda shut and yes there were plenty of cars there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buck Posted April 11, 2025 Report Share Posted April 11, 2025 I hope that supporters wanting to use public transport to get to Perry Barr Stadium, will find this information useful: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- All buses to the stadium from Birmingham City Centre start in ALBERT STREET which is a short walk from MOOR STREET rail station. From the station, cross the road and turn right. Albert Street is the third street down on the left, recognisable by the large carpark on the corner. Bus Number 33 (B'ham to Pheasey) stops outside the stadium entrance. and Bus number 51 (Not 51X) stops at the One Stop Shopping Precinct opposite the stadium. Both have a journey time of approximately 20 minutes. (bus number 51X passes the stadium but doesn't stop there!) Bus numbers 907 B'ham to Sutton-Coldfield), 934 (B'ham to Walsall via Pheasey) 935 B'ham to Walsall via Streetly), 936 (B'ham to Brownhills via Walsall Wood), 937 (B'ham to Brownhills via Boney Hay) and 997 (B'ham to Rushall via Aldridge) are all express services which each have only four stopping places before reaching the stadium, and all stop in Aldridge Road right outside the stadium. All of these routes run at ten minutes intervals and all have a journey time of approximately 8 minutes. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Trains leave Birmingham New Street on the hour and on the half hour and have a journey time of 12 minutes. Perry Barr Station is a 5 minute walk from the stadium. Return trains (after speedway meetings) leave Perry Barr Station at 21 and 33 minutes past the hour. The last train from Perry Barr to New Street leaves at 22.21. Trains from Walsall also call at Perry Barr at 12 and 42 minutes past the hour with a journey time of 15 minutes. The last Perry Barr to Walsall train is at 23.12. I hope that 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That he's only riding in England for more bike time, that the team is really struggling, he can't get out of the starts and the blue groove has been appearing after heat 4. His body language and facial expressions gave the impression he didn't want to talk about Birmingham, unless he's just miserable all the time... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although he is riding out of his skin in this meeting! Surprised the crowd is so poor. I know it was weather pushing it from yesterday to today but still.

All of those things are true, his main reason for riding in the UK is for more bike time. Michael is also spot on about the track and why it needs to improve. I am told his polish club are very happy with his start to the season, they want him to continue riding in the UK as they feel regular races will keep him sharp. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Refuse collection in Brum has been awful for so long now I wonder if it will ever get sorted out permanently. The operatives are a militant bunch & have been for 30 years or more, I say this as someone who lived & worked in the area for all of this time & have seen the problems first hand.

Nothing wrong with the team and the track just needs an outside line which for whatever reason it doesn’t have at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
