Well, I've got me bottle of wine ready for this one Snoots 
As it's the Venice of the North I've clocked your directions and already got the cork out.
I'd prefer a drink from that than the watter from any of the canals you've mentioned on the way across t'Pennines and then heading south somewhere close to t'M6, but taking the journey twice as far and at 4mph to get there. You don't need to walk for 40 minutes from Brum either. They have rattlers that leave Moor Street or Snow Hill for the hour or two afore and the hour or two after kick-off that stop at the normally locked up Bordesley Station. Ticket are 2/- return and save you an hour's worth of shoe leather.
On t'other hand, you could ask a local gondolier to take the Digbeth Branch from Gas Street and moor up in the Bordesley Basin, no'but a stroll from t'ground and t'Station. However, as I've warned you afore, t'basin might be full of dead dogs and supermarket trolleys and t'Brum lads don't take too kindly to none Brummie's suppin' in t'pubs near t'ground. Of course that were awul dun in Brummie a few yeeyars back so ya loikely furgorrit d'aintcha?
PS - once you get passed Wolvo there ain't a lock to be seen all the way to Brum. Full steam ahead, just don't wash the mallards down the slipways and the overflows when you get to one.
4 Dierby County
9 Jasper Carrott - or as he prefers to be known - Trevor Francis (hope it wasn't Bob Latchford), hmmm - no he was leading breaker of Town goalkeeper's legs or was it someone else 10 years (ish) earlier? Darn it, no, it wan't Jasper - he was already at Forest, just noted in your thread.
In other news Snoots - you've half a chance against Coventry - but don't hold your breath - about seeing Town play here.
