Not sure where 276 figure came from. No announcement at ground on away support. I thought there were more Reds than at Maidenhead on Tuesday. Would be surprised if it was less than 300.

Train to Birmingham International then 10 mins on the bus (X2 I think). Car parking is on a slow to escape car park or on the road outside, neither is very attractive option.
Bar at ground is only option for a drink locally, it will be packed and getting to the bar will be a nightmare.
I would expect a lot of fans to take the easy option of going by train, and stopping in Birmingham for a few beers on the way.

The ground is between the Jaguar /Landrover factory and Birmingham Airport. There is some car parking across the road on Damson Parkway.

From the website
Leave the M42 at Junction 6 and take the A45 towards Birmingham. After around two miles, you will come to a major set of traffic lights that has a Holiday Inn over to your right and the entrance to Birmingham Freight Cargo Terminal. Turn left at these lights (Sign Posted, Land Rover/Damsonwood) into Damson Parkway. Go up to the roundabout, on which there is an entrance to the Land Rover car plant. Go completely around the roundabout to come back on yourself. The entrance to the ground is a short distance down on the left.

The post code used by the Club takes you a fair distance from the stadium. I have found using this post code for SatNavs: B92 0PF takes you much closer to the roundabout by the Land Rovers Works next to the stadium.

Car Parking
There is a fair sized car park at the ground which is free for cars arriving an hour or more before kick off. If you arrive after 2pm then there is a charge of £2.

Does anyone know if it is possible to walk to the ground from Birmingham International train station?

Don't mention the flood, mind you I did see a bloody big boat there with some animals on it.
