Coming by road.
Do NOT USE M4/M32 route and don't try to negotiate the roads and streets of Bristol

If you are coming by road use M4/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 13:00pm please don't block drive ways or park on corners.

Coming by train:
please have your tickets issued to Parson Street, same price at BTM,even if you don't use the station.
It will take you two thirds of the way to the ground and then walk the rest of the way.
It will go some way towards getting a new train station nearer to Ashton Gate

Great western Railway also have group save buy two returns and the third one is free
Good train times to Parson street from London and the North departing Bristol temple meads 13:26pm 13:55pm and 14:26pm.

If you board at Parson Street,you can avoid the ticket gates/barriers at Bristol temple Meads

 

Casualty and Holby City were filmed in the City don't ask me about either of the programmes because I think their both rubbish
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 your camera and turn up early if you want to take any photo's
Pubs not sure of which ones will be open,possibly best one are in the cumberland road basin area novia scotia pump house and the cottage.

BBC Radio station is radio Bristol which has frequencies and 94:9 and DAB (and 95:5 up till 3pm),
and the match commentary will be on BBC radio Bristol

Mrs Wolf and I are having a brilliant time in Brizzle. Apparently the go-to pre-match pub for away fans is Bedminster Cricket Club, there's a big group of Irish Canaries coming over for the game so we're going to go and have a drink with them there. Sounds like a good turnout, more than 2,300 tickets sold.
