Parking for Villa (A)

There is a small industrial area, about 10 minutes walk. Out of away end and turn right down past the main stand. Was £10 last time we were there. In, and out, no bother.

Just an aside. I recall going to Aston Villa in the legend Tom Lynn's car in the early 1980's. We parked up about 5-10 minutes walk from Villa Park. As we did, a handful of black kids appeared from nowhere and said "we'll watch your car for you for a tenner, it's a rough neighbourhood round here, people get their wheels nicked". We decided to accept the offer with a fiver given on departure and a fiver upon getting back to the car. When we got back the car was safe with 4 wheels

Only change now is that the kids will be Asian. Aston, Witton and Newtown aren't among the most salubrious areas of the city.

Have a look around the immediate area of Villa Park, then think about when people call the North East a shithole...and reflect.

No mate. I recall there was a school close by if that helps. It was, driver time, only a couple of minutes past Villa Park.
