Birmingham Bike Polo (Wednesday nights / Sundays - info in the thread)

just checked the weather and looks like its raining!

has anyone suggested the ncp car-park above toys r us if NIA doesn't work out? its not amazing but its sheltered and seems pretty quiet for central town.

theres gotta be a golden car park for polo somewhere in or close to town....do i take all bullrings car parks are no good? does millenium point have underground parking?? if anyone fancies an evening ride somepoint to cruise round town in search of the golden car park, holla.

As we were leaving the NCP car park above ToysRus the other Saturday night at midnight 2 security guards emerged from the lift. I think they were surprised by us riding past and told us to get out of there. I decided to it would be better to let them know we weren't doing any harm and were only there to chat and enjoy the view. As I approached to talk to them, the eldest who was about 70 raised the crowbar he was carrying and said "now don't do anything silly sonny". I stopped out of range of the crowbar and told them why we were there, they said we should leave which were doing anyway but they wanted to know how we got in. I calmed them down ( I think the old guy was surprised and scared at first) and then went to catch the others up. As we got to the exit the shutters were coming down but there was a button on the wall which raised them so we could get out.

Even if you find a suitable car park with empty upper levels you may need to clear it with security first, otherwise beware old blokes with crowbars!
