    what time r u arriving into birmingham at?

    The train station is in the centre of the town. Approx 15mins from the stadium in a taxi. Its says on national rail website that its a 10min journey on the train from the airport to the train station.

    Just had a look on google maps and its says that its 22mins from the airport to the stadium. So i suppose u could get a taxi or there might be a bus going from the airport or something

    My Plane gets into birmingham at 13:00. Was hoping to take this flight cos the other one is at 6:30 in the morning or something... bit early...

    That's really cutting it tight mate! Would you really risk missing the game over a few hours hanging around? Get the early one and get a B&B room for 20 quid and relax for a while before the game.

    Anything could happen, flight could be delayed for and hour or so, happens all the time, recently flying back from London to Dublin I got delayed for an hour because of fog or something along those lines so it can happen.

    1pm would be an alright time to get in at as it looks like it ould only take about a 30mins to get to the stadium but as jackass says, anything might happen with your flight. Need some time to account for murphys law :)

    The train station in birmingham airport usually goes to other locations so dont be too worried about the trains. Worst case scenario hop on the boat to hollyhead.

    Will just take half a day though but cheap.

    There is also an express bus from Brum to Coventry. I think the number is the 900. It stops at the airport and 'tis 30 mins to Coventry from there. Again you're cutting it tight but it may be worth checking out how close to the stadium it leaves you. Not aware of where the the stadium is myself so it may well be all academic.
