The ground is in the middle of a barren industrial estate and the only pub that would let us in was The Vine about 10mins walk up the Tram line.

We got turned away from the The Red Cow on Smethwick High Street even though it was completely empty for being away fans and shook the dust from our feet of that unwelcoming pub. However met lots of friendly people from a taxi driver to takeaway and other WBA fans so not all tribal and idiotic.
