Bristol City fan with the local info for next Saturday

Recommended Posts

Hope

you don''t mind a Bristol City fan coming on your boards with some

local info.

Buy

your tickets in advance as there is  NO PAY ON THE DAY for away fans.

Coming

by road

Do

NOT USE M5 M4 M32 route and don''t try to negotiate the roads and

streets of Bristol

YOU

WILL GET LOST

If

you are coming by road use M5 southbound to junction 18(Avonmouth)

then follow signs A4 Bristol airport

It

looks the long way round but its quicker.Parking is normally in the

streets around the area

as

long as you are there by 1pm.

If

you are coming by train there is a local train service to PARSON

STREET

at

12:25 13:25 13:56 and 14:25

Good

train times as most trains from the North or from the London direction arrive at quarter to the

hour or quarter past the hour

it

takes you two thirds of the way to the ground and walk the rest of

the way

return by train to Bristol T.M. is at 17:37pm

You

will pass Sainsburys on the left with restaurant

Robins

pub again on your left hand side

When

you approach the ground I suggest you walk past wickes using the

pavement

as

the concourse area behind the big new stand gets very congested with

bodies

Please

make sure you get your train ticket showing PARSON STREET

We

are trying to promote PARSON STREET for football fans

till

Ashton gate halt comes on line

If

there are at least three of you get a taxi

Make

sure the taxi driver drops you in the Ashton Road end as it a very

long walk round from the other end

or

use the brown buses from the bottom of the incline of the station.

Which

depart approx 13:55pm with returns just after the match finishes

On your return to London or the North the trains leave Bristol Temple Measds at 17:30pm and I think you

will struggle to get back to Bristol Temple meads for 17:30pm

Casualty

and Hobly City were filmed in the City don''t ask me about either of

the programmes cos I think their both crap

The

young ones was also filmed in the BS7 area of the City

(actually

its Bishopston)

Finally

the block of flats on the left behind the dolman stand side as you

are in the away end is "the" block of flats in "fools

and horses"

Bring

yer camera and turn up early if you wanna take any photo''s

Pubs

possibly best one are in the cumberland road basin area novia scotia

pump house and the cottage.

Buy

your match day programme before you enter the away end.

BBC

Radio station is radio bristol which has frequenceys and 94:9 and DAB

(and 95:5 up till 3pm)

and

the match commentary it will be on BBC radio bristol DAB

Pubs: best ones are along the Cumberland Roads area,suggest park your car and then walk to the ground

If

you want or need any further local info please don''t be afraid to

ask.

All that info is wasted on me I''m afraid as, having spent the turn of the century living in Horfield, I refuse to give your club a penny of my money.

Enjoy the three points we give you.[/quote]Like we did away at Fulham, Sheff Utd, Middsbro, Reading [;)] , Ipswich, Birmingham and Burton? (most of those without Pritchard in the team btw)

I am lead to believe that 1,300 tickets have been sold for the away end.In season 2016/17 when Norwich City visited Ashton Gate 944 away fans attended That was a tuesday night in March 2017The first time Norwich City had been to Ashton Gate since 2010.Fair play to all of you attending,it''s nearly five hour drive from Norwich
