ASTON VILLA v FULHAM
Saturday 31 October, 8pm
Fulham will look to build on the momentum generated by successive 1-0 wins over Hull City and Coventry City at in-form Aston Villa on Saturday evening. The Whites will be aiming to add another away win to their league tally after victory over the Sky Blues lat weekend as well as end a twelve year wait for a win at Villa Park since Kieran Richardson and Hugo Rodallega secured a memorable success in April 2014.

GETTING TO VILLA PARK BY CAR
Exit the M6 at Junction 6 and take the slip road signposted ‘Birmingham (NE)’. Take the fourth exit from the roundabout, towards City Centre/Aston/Star City and follow the signs for Villa Park. At the second set of traffic lights on Lichfield Road turn right on Aston Hall Road, which will take you to the ground.
Fulham fans who are planning to drive should be advised that there is very little parking in the vicinity of Villa Park. The closest available car park is at the Star City Leisure complex, around 30 minutes’ walk from the ground.
BY TRAIN
Most Fulham fans will arrive via Birmingham New Street station. Take a connecting train from there to either Aston or Witton train station. Witton is closest to the away fans’ entrance. Head left out of the exit of the station towards a roundabout, where you turn left into Witton Lane and the away entrance will appear on your right. It is about a ten minute walk from Aston station to the ground and extra trains serve the entire route on a matchday.
BY COACH
Coaches will depart from Motspur Park & Craven Cottage at 3pm on Saturday. Coach tickets for Season Ticket Holders & Members are priced at £26 for adults and £20 for juniors. For all other supporters Coach Tickets are on General Sale priced at £35 for adults and £28 for juniors.
AWAY PUBS
Fulham fans and Trust members were enthusiatically welcomed by The Gosta Green (Holt Street, Birmingham B7 4BG) before and after last season’s fixture. They lay on beers and burgers at reasonable prices, with multiple big screens throughout the pub and pool tables and darts boards available.
Other options include The Yew Tree (Brookvale Road, Witton, Birmingham, B6 7AS), the Ruskin Hall Social Club (Victoria Road, Aston, Birmingham, B6 5HP) or, for those intending to remain within the city centre for a while, The Briar Rose (25 Bennetts Hill, Birmingham, B2 5RE), The Square Peg (115 Corporation Street, Birmingham, B4 6PH) and The Shakespeare (Lower Temple Street, Birmingham, B2 4JD).
Fulham fans should note that previous versions of this away day guide have listed the Witton Arms as a venue that welcomes away fans. We have been now been informed that the Witton Arms no longer accepts away supporters. The Bartons Arms, which was a longstanding away fans’ pub, sadly closed last year.
The Trust would like to thank Aston Villa Football Club, our friends at the Aston Villa Supporters’ Trust, Birmingham City Council and the Football Supporters Association for their invaluable assistance in compiling this away day guide.
