local info for those heading to Bristol City

[infoman]

Hope as many of you can attend the game on good Friday as I don't think we will be meeting one another next season,and good luck.

 

The allocation of 3,414 is very good as the outfit from South Wales only got 2,500 for this Saturdays severnside derby maybe its because they damaged the toilets at the away end on their last visit

There is no hard copy match day programmes any more,although the club has sanctioned an unofficial copy of brochure.

In the home end there is football type programme for children,given away free.

TRAINS if your coming by train,please have your tickets issued to Parson Street as it helps us
try and get a new train station nearer to Ashton Gate and its normally the same price
Trains from London or Birmingham direction arrive in good time for the XX:26 XX:54 past the hour
from Bristol temple meads to Parson Street
It takes you two thirds of the way to the ground and walk the rest of the way or catch the number 24 in either direction

Special bus's depart from Bristol temple meads to the ground on most match days but as its good friday not sure if they will run,will advise nearer the time.

If you use Parson Street,this will save negotiating the ticket gates/barriers at Bristol Temple meads
Our most famous player,John Atyeo,has a statue by the club superstore between the corner of the Lansdown and South stand.
The congestion zone has arrived which includes some areas around Ashton Gate,even the council don't like us.
Check if your car is compliant HERE

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 10:00am please don't block drive ways or park on corners.

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 the match commentary will be on BBC radio Bristol
Please circulate to any other football forums and footy fans you may deem fit
If you need any further info,don't be afraid to ask

Lovely city to booze in

[NewquayFox]

Is the cricket ground near the ground still open to park in and have a few drinks?

No he's talking about Bedminster Cricket Ground and yes it is still open to park in and the bar is usually open. Although tbh I'd head to North Street. Loads of pubs.

[Spudulike]

Be careful to avoid the CAZ. £9 if you need to enter or a fine if you don't. Check if your car is exempt.

Went to see Bristol city v Leeds a few years back, got tickets through work. Remember this cricket club very well as I parked in there, it was stewarded so seemed ok until I came back and they had let this bmw park in front of me and blocked me from getting out. After waiting about an hour for nobody to return and asking inside if anyone knew who’s it was I had no option but to move a pretty hefty plank of wood from behind my car and reverse back and swing round the car next to me.. I don’t think they would have appreciated the tyre marks that might have been left on their lush lawn.. oh well

Brilliant. Thankyou and good luck for the rest of season and beyond.

[Fox92]

I can’t wait. Shame about the ticket pricing but looks like a nice ground now to visit. 

[Spudulike]

I've not been there since it had its make over. I think the last time we were there people were falling over backless seats and trying to work out *who scored from behind the metal roof supports.
